About AP Lofts

Historic spaces deserve preservation. That's why AP Lofts took special care to transform the 100-year-old Hawkeye Transfer Building into an atmospheric space with exceptional views. The building offers 70 market-rate apartments with modern conveniences yet maintains the charismatic personality and original detailing of this distinctive, century-old warehouse. When the Hawkeye Transfer Building was completed in 1911 it was used as a transfer warehouse for perishable produce. It gained special historic significance as “the only tall commercial design” produced by the architectural firm of Proudfoot, Bird & Rawson known as Iowa's preeminent early-twentieth-century architectural firm. The rehabilitation was designed to highlight the building's history as a utilitarian commercial space, while providing residents a contemporary living space. Massive windows flood the space with light and gracious amenities make urban living a convenient and comfortable choice. Committed to socially accountable projects such as Hawkeye Transfer Lofts, Nelson Construction & Development maintains a vision for broader revitalization projects throughout Greater Des Moines.

AP Lofts is located in the Downtown Des Moines Neighborhood and 50309 Zip code of Des Moines, IA. This community is professionally managed by Knapp Properties, LC.

One of the best places to live

February 28, 2025 - Review from Apartments.com
The staff, amenities, locations everything is amazing. Any issue I had has been resolved asap. Never seen or experienced any mold issues in my old unit, nor current. Maintenance is easily accessible and quick to respond and repair!

Beautiful Mold Infested Mess

August 19, 2023 - Review from Apartments.com
I lived at AP lofts for two years after graduating college. The historic building is so cool and I loved calling it home. Unfortunately after numerous doctors visits and a bunch of medical bills I had to move out. This apartment is infested with mold everywhere. I'm still suffering asthma attacks three years later. Living in this apartment complex has permanently affected my health. DO. NOT. LIVE. HERE.
