The Frederick Lofts is a 100-unit apartment development that opened in August 2015 on a previously empty site on the east end of the former Pabst Brewing complex (The Brewery). The market-rate development was developed by Gorman & Company.
The building is named after Pabst namesake Captain Frederick Pabst.
The site is .82 acres. Gorman & Company developed the adjacent Blue Ribbon Lofts apartment building out of the former Pabst Keg House. In addition, Gorman developed the Brewhouse Inn & Suites one block west. The development is immediately south of the Brewery Point Apartments, a senior living community and across N. 9th St. from the Brewery Parking Structure.
The project received site plan and building elevation approval from the City Plan Commission, as part of its location in The Brewery Development Incentive Zone. It was heard at the August 19th, 2013 meeting.
Gorman sold the building to MLG Capital in 2019.
