A ribbon cutting was held Tuesday afternoon at the “Lofts @ 128”,  which is the new apartment building located at 128 North Michigan Avenue at the corner of Apple Street in Hastings.  

The four-story, 24,000-square-foot building features 21 one- and two-bedroom market rate apartments which are already occupied, with a waiting list. The first floor will offer retail and office spaces, however no commercial tenants have yet been announced.

Construction began on the $4.9 million dollar project in November of last year. The city of Hastings worked closely with the general contractor, A.J. Veneklasen, to get the project completed to address the growing housing needs of an underserved part of the community. The project provides great walkability to all the City of Hastings has to offer – shopping, dining, and great community events.
