Does it feel like it is time for a change in your life? Are you ready to move or want something different? Do you need to save money on rent? You should consider small lofts as a home!

Is Living in a 225sq-ft Micro Loft Doable?

No bathtub, tiny kitchens, wall-to-wall beds, can you really live like that? Wouldn’t tight spaces make you feel a little claustrophobic? Living without common luxuries like master bedrooms, full sized living rooms, and a personal laundry area may not seem doable to you. However, this video is ready to prove to you how your conclusions would be wrong.

What Was the Information Shared in the Video?

The Providence Arcade is the oldest indoor shopping mall in the country that was built in 1828. People want to save historic buildings but it is not really plausible unless they buildings provide some kind of economic value. Half of the shopping mall is made up of common areas so optimal capital opportunity must be secured in order to generate enough profits to make the historical building “worth keeping”. This reason influenced the development and renting of 225 sqft micro lofts located on the upper floors of the building.

There are also 400 sqft units available for rent as well. Due to building codes and how small the units are, walls and doors are limited, making the floor more of an open space. Residents often like the convenience of living on the upper floors of the Providence Arcade and enjoy their cozy homes. It is either a home away from home or perfect!
