Boutique Loft Apartments in Downtown Norfolk
The Lofts at 119 brings historic character and modern apartment living to 119 W. Tazewell Street, steps from downtown Norfolk dining, entertainment, offices, and the waterfront.
Historic Bones. Modern Soul.
Built in 1924, The Lofts at 119 is not a corporate high-rise. It is a carefully preserved heritage building in the heart of downtown Norfolk, offering an authentic urban living experience for those who want to truly be part of the city.
With only 10 residences, this is an intimate community. Concrete and steel construction means quiet neighbors above and below. Twelve-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, and updated kitchens with granite countertops and glass tile backsplash make every unit feel elevated without feeling corporate.
Professionally managed by Cavalier Land, leasing is straightforward and the building is well maintained.

Why The Lofts at 119 Is Different
Small Building
Ten residences, not two hundred. You know your neighbors. The elevator is always available. The hallways are quiet. This is not an apartment complex — it is a downtown address.
Historic Construction
Built in 1924 with 7 inches of concrete and steel between every floor and double wall construction. The building is exceptionally quiet. You will not hear your neighbors the way you do in modern apartment buildings.
Genuine Downtown
Not near downtown. Not adjacent to downtown. The Lofts at 119 is on Tazewell Street, in the center of the city, surrounded by the restaurants, offices, culture, and waterfront that make Norfolk worth living in.
