The design of CourthouseLofts was guided by the following principles.

Creating a modern LIVING community with expansive open living space grounded in history

Preserving the distinctive original interior and exterior historical fabric of the building

Utilizing state-of-the-art energy efficient interior environmental conditioning systems

Appointing each residential apartment with modern appliances including refrigerator, stove/oven, dishwasher, garbage disposal and European style washer/dryer

Providing a safe, secure and gated place to live

This four-story mixed-use and pet friendly building is organized vertically with loft apartments on the first, second and third floors and commercial office space at the lower English basement floor. All floors are served by the original oversized elevator which has been retrofitted with state-of-the-art elevator technology enabling flexibility for resident’s use in moving large items.

Originally constructed as the Lubbock Post Office and Federal Building, this imposing classical public building is the earliest surviving representative of the federal presence in the city as testament to the increasingly important role of the federal government in the life of Lubbock in the early 1930’s.  As this period coincided with an era of unprecedented growth and construction in Lubbock and the surrounding region, the building symbolically represents Washington’s recognition of Lubbock’s status as the hub of the South Plains region.
