The Brazos Lofts are located in historic downtown Austin, Texas - in the
heart of the entertainment district and around the corner from the business
district.
History
The Brazos Lofts were created from a set of buildings that occupied the
north side of the 200 block of Fifth Street. These buildings were primarily
built from the late 1910s to the mid 1930s. The previous tenants of these
buildings were varied: Capitol Chevrolet, Yellow Cab Company, Austin Machine
and Grinding Company, Cabaniss-Brown Furniture, Hi-Way Garage, Slim Darter
Welding and Radiator Shop, Cutler's Motor Company, Bledsoe Furniture
Company, Motor and Industrial Finance Company. The architectural style of
the lofts reflects this utilitarian heritage.
This set of buildings was transformed into the Brazos Lofts by the Sutton
Company in a project that was completed in 1999. Design work was performed
by Dick Clark Architecture. The project included both re-purposing the
existing structures and the construction of a completely new structure at
the northeast corner.
