About Park Avenue Lofts The Temple

HomeApartments in WaterlooFranklin Gateway Park Avenue Lofts The Temple

Urban lofts with charm. Units at the The Temple will occupy multiple “stories” in order to retain the feeling of openness in the renovated spaces. Much of the character of this building is defined by the original steel bridge trusses, which remain exposed within the multi-story lofts. The exposed brick and original steel bring character unmatched in Downtown Waterloo. Historic renovation. As an existing historic building, the Masonic Temple occupies a significant architectural and contextual place in the story of Waterloo, Iowa. The craft and durability of its construction remain clear: fine brickwork and intricate detailing… plus a mysterious tradition filled with symbolism. This historic renovation brings this character to life in the individual apartments and community spaces. Space to thrive. Being a century-old four-story building presents opportunities to maximize the existing space with exciting tenant amenities. The Temple renovation was designed to offer an array of community areas, we are proud to partner with community non profits to offer them a home within this historic space!
