Loft 23, at 23 Sidney Street in Cambridge, is a four-story loft apartment building with 51 residences, completed in 2005 as the final building at University Park at MIT.
Developed by Forest City Residential and designed by DiMella Shaffer, Loft 23 brings a modern take on loft living to Cambridgeport. Its side walls are clad in pre-patinated copper made from 95 percent recycled material, a green roof tops the building, and fully glazed end walls look out toward two neighborhood parks.
Apartments include one- and two-bedroom layouts with 12- to 14-foot ceilings, polished concrete floors, and floor-to-ceiling windows. Kitchens feature granite counters and stainless steel appliances, and every home has an in-unit washer and dryer. The combination of tall ceilings and glass gives each loft a bright, gallery-like feel that is uncommon in newer rentals.
Loft 23 offers package lockers, a bike room, electric vehicle charging, and valet dry cleaning. As part of University Park, residents can also use the fitness centers at 100 Landsdowne and 91 Sidney, along with the 24/7 concierge at 100 Landsdowne.
The building sits beside University Park Commons and about a quarter mile from the Central Square Red Line station. The restaurants, cafés, and music venues of Central Square are close by, MIT and Kendall Square are a short walk east, and the Charles River paths are just to the south. The historic Kennedy Biscuit Lofts are around the corner.
With its boutique scale, true loft interiors, and shared access to University Park's amenities, Loft 23 offers a distinctive rental option in the heart of Cambridge.
