Industrial lofts, also known as Hard Lofts, are generally manufacturing warehouses converted into apartments style living. These Hard Lofts have a lot of character as they take on the features of the old, and sometimes heritage warehouses. Concrete ceilings and floors, exposed brick walls, large windows, exposed duct work, electrical and plumbing are all features that may be found in a hard loft space.

Soft Lofts are similar to Hard Lofts except that they are newly constructed. Instead of concrete floors, they may have broadloom or hardwood. Instead of exposed duct work and piping, these areas may be encased in drywall. Generally speaking, Soft Lofts still offer an open concept living space with huge windows but in a more traditional finished condo style.
