Lawson Building

Lawson Building stands as a testament to Roanoke's rich architectural heritage and modern urban living. Originally constructed in 1925 as a merchandise warehouse by prominent local architect Harry Leland Lawson, our property has been meticulously transformed into 22 residential apartments and three commercial spaces while preserving its historic industrial character. Our adaptive reuse project emphasizes sustainability through restored indigenous landscapes, terraced outdoor rooms, and community gardens that connect residents to the building's storied past. Located just one block from downtown Roanoke, we offer modern loft apartments featuring open floorplans, concrete countertops, exposed brick, and spiral staircases that blend historic charm with contemporary comfort. Our professional management team ensures residents enjoy premium amenities including secure package delivery, gated parking, and high-speed internet while being steps away from Roanoke's vibrant cultural district, restaurants, and the historic City Farmers Market.

With over a century of combined experience in historic preservation and property management, our team delivers expertly maintained living spaces that honor Roanoke's transportation heritage while meeting modern urban lifestyle demands. Our commitment to quality is demonstrated through our LEED-certified building practices and partnerships with local businesses that enhance our residents' connection to the community. As a trusted leader in downtown Roanoke revitalization, we provide transparent communication, reliable maintenance services, and personalized support that prioritizes resident satisfaction.
