"We are so excited that this project received statewide recognition," said Tamyra Vest, executive director of Destination Downtown South Boston. "Finding a developer like Rehab Development was a dream come true as they shared our desire to preserve a piece of heritage unique and authentic to South Boston. We got to preserve the building plus get market rate apartments in downtown. This project is a shining example of how our small community is restructuring its downtown economy for the 21st century".

New Brick Historic Lofts' heavy timbers, vaulted ceilings, abundant skylights and hardwood floors are brilliantly contrasted with modern design to provide high-end living spaces for its residents. Located at 701 Jefferson Avenue, in the heart of downtown South Boston, the historic tobacco warehouse features 27 apartments for lease, including both one and two bedroom loft units.

"We are extremely grateful to both Virginia Main Street and Virginia Downtown Development Association for the wonderful recognition of our New Brick Historic Lofts project," said Patrick Reilly, principal at Rehab Development. "We would also like to thank Destination Downtown South Boston and the town of South Boston for their vision and support. Their hard work and commitment helped save this beautiful historic landmark, which has once again become a tremendous asset to downtown South Boston and the greater Halifax County community."
