Designed by the illustrious Sumner P. Hunt back in 1895, the five-story Irvine Byrne Building was only the second office building to be erected Downtown, after the nearby Bradbury, also produced by Hunt's firm. Now known as the Pan American Building, the Beaux Arts structure was given a $20-million makeover in 2006 and converted to lofts. This beautifully designed loft features original bamboo flooring under current cover, original exposed brick, 12-foot ceilings, kitchen with stainless steel appliances. Located next to the bustling Grand Central Market as well as the many new retail, restaurant and venues, its the perfect fit for a new downtowner or a historic core buff. The building has been deemed a historical landmark, which means it qualifies for the "Mills Act" tax savings.
