Hoffman Lofts

Hoffman Brother Produce Building – 1883 (700 N. Second Street) Actress Betty Grable—the #1 pin-up girl of the 1940s and Hugh Hefner’s inspiration for Playboy magazine—developed her “million-dollar legs” working summers here at her grandparents’ produce market. Until the mid-1930s, it was the headquarters for produce distribution throughout the burgeoning St. Louis community, before being taken over by the Ferman Tent Company. The building features one of the most elaborate brick facades in St. Louis.  Located in the heart of The Landing, Hoffman Lofts offers a unique blend of historic character and modern upscale living just steps from the Mississippi Riverfront. Originally part of a historic 1883 produce building, this community showcases timeless architecture paired with thoughtfully updated interiors.

Modern kitchens are equipped with custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless GE appliances, and a raised bar peninsula, perfect for entertaining or everyday living. Stylish finishes such as pendant lighting, Delta plumbing fixtures, and contemporary ceiling fans enhance the space, while in unit washer and dryer, window shades, air conditioning, and cable ready connections provide everyday convenience.
