Baldwin Lofts

Located in downtown Durham, at 109 W. Main Street, Baldwin Lofts is a 13-unit, mixed-use condominium (residential & commercial) community located in what was once Durham’s premier department store, Baldwin's.  

Originally built in 1927, the “Baldwin Building” was converted to 12 residential condos on floors 2, 3 and 4, and the ground floor’s 5,500 square foot restaurant space, in 2011.  The restaurant is currently home to COPA, a Cuban tapas and cocktail owned and operated by the former owners of Durham’s Old Havana Sandwich Shop.

The building’s lofts range in size from 668 to 1,296 sq ft and amenities include the following:

• Rooftop patio with views of the American Tobacco district, Durham Bulls baseball stadium and Durham Performing Arts Center
• Attractive common areas with contemporary paint and lighting
• Security-coded entrances (front and rear) and elevator
• Landmark historic status for the building equals a 50% reduction in property taxes for condo owners
