Lofts Buffalo offers a modern take on a historic Buffalo building, due to the apartments’ close proximity to the Jacobs School of Medicine, the numerous hospitals at the BNMC, and the downtown financial district, the apartments appeal to medical students, visiting doctors and nurses and downtown office workers, all who can walk to work.
The duo behind Lofts Buffalo, Donald Cameron and Paul Smith from Toronto felt the magnetic and magic pull of Buffalo in 2012 when they acquired their first property in Allentown at 18 St. Louis Place. Not long after, the duo purchased the two adjoining buildings, 20 St. Louis Place and 14 St. Louis Place, and put in the hard work of renovating the 30 apartments that sit there today.
Although the apartments feature all of the latest and greatest amenities including hardwood floors, granite countertops, and beautiful stainless steel appliances, the work to modernize these buildings was anything but easy as the old hospital building dated back two centuries to 1846.
In 2019, Cameron and Smith purchased 519 Virginia Street which featured an additional eight two-bedroom luxury apartments.
Between the four buildings, there are a total of 38 apartments, four located at 20 St. Louis Place that come fully furnished with appliances and amenities making this the ideal place for traveling nurses, doctors or anyone just passing through.
“The furnished apartments are for those that are traveling — the people that come in for two or three months, we tell them just basically bring your suitcase. You don’t have to do anything. There’s sheets, towels, cutlery and dishes,” explained Smith.
A previous tenant, Gabriel, said,
I moved to Buffalo for five months from Europe and had an amazing time at the apartment at 20 St Louis Pl. They were super helpful from the beginning, and I was able to sign all the lease documents easily from Europe.
Centrally located near the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus, Lofts Buffalo apartments have a 96 percent walkability score. This location is perfect for someone on the go looking for a hassle-free way to get to school or work.
“Buffalo comes off very well to people who come here. And Allentown where the property is it’s just a nice place to be. It’s very leafy, as I like to say, in the summertime. It’s great for walking and biking, just a block up the street and there are all sorts of clubs and restaurants.” said Smith.
They also have a reliable and responsive maintenance team along with a solid dedication to ensuring safety for all residents.
“We’re two blocks away from the police station. We have LED lighting that goes all the way around the whole four buildings and the parking lots. We have security cameras and a key fob entry system.”
“The caretakers truly care about the people who live at the St. Louis complex,” said one previous resident. “The property has always been clean and well-maintained. During one of my first nights here, I locked myself out of my apartment and the caretakers drove across town to let me back in despite it being 9:30 PM on a Friday. You can’t put a price on that.”
From medical students and traveling nurses to really anyone looking to make the move to the city of good neighbors, Lofts Buffalo offers a safe and convenient place to call home with a team dedicated to excellence.
“I moved into 14 Saint Louis Place after my first year of medical school with my girlfriend. It was a great decision,” said a resident, Ian. “The location is very convenient and is a short 6 minute walk to the medical campus. It’s also a quick walk downtown as well. We have always felt safe and the building is very secure. For three years we called this place home and we have no regrets with choosing this property.”
Whether you’re looking to stay for a long time or a short time, Lofts Buffalo has everything you need to make your time in the Queen city an enjoyable one.
