Baker Lofts II Condominium
Walkable near top schools
Walkability 7.0/10·Schools 4.0/10
The building sits steps from downtown Grand Rapids, where Logan Street curves past the former furniture factory that Baker Lofts II now occupies. Inside, wood beams run across eleven-foot ceilings, and exposed brick walls frame the loft-style apartments—a nod to the craftsmanship that defined this block during Michigan's furniture manufacturing era. The structure itself is LEED certified, and the ground floor holds retail space where restaurants and shops anchor the corner. A fifteen-thousand-square-foot courtyard, once scattered with boiler equipment and abandoned kilns, has been converted into a garden space that opens the building to light and air.
