The Banque Lofts
Luxury Living Made Simple
Downtown Albuquerque
Historical in feel, yet elegantly designed. Take living to a higher level at The Banque Lofts in downtown Albuquerque. Leave your inhibitions at the door and dive into urban living at it's finest. Behind the stately exterior, this 8 story structure houses over 75,000 sq ft of prime space, including an 8000 sq ft roof top deck with unsurpassed city and mountain views. At nearly four years, The Banque Lofts has undergone a dramatic restoration.
The initial 2 years of the project was dedicated to redevelop the building infrastructure. The focus: to bring Albuquerque’s first high rise to meet and exceed typical high rise construction features found in new buildings today, while maintaining the original exterior esthetics. From heating and air handling systems, to electrical and fire protection, nearly everything you would expect from a modern living facility has been accounted for at The Banque Lofts. Designed as a multi-use project, The Banque is home to both residential and commercial tenants.
DESIGN AND HISTORY
Originally designed by Henry Charles Trost, The Banque combines urban energy and contemporary design while maintaining the original, historical classic, business renaissance style. Complete with Palladian windows and intricately crafted medallions and pilasters, this architectural masterpiece historically, the First National Bank Building, became an Albuquerque landmark in 1979. The Banque was Albuquerque’s first skyscraper built originally in 1922, and it is still the tallest structure on the city’s famed downtown Central Avenue, part of the original Route 66. See Historical Photos.
