Dannenberg Lofts | Macon, GA

The historic Dannenberg Building, originally constructed in the late 1800s and expanded through 1922, was transformed into a vibrant mixed-use landmark in downtown Macon. The three- and four-story structure now features 69 distinctive loft apartments surrounding a dramatic central atrium with skylight. Approximately 15,000 square feet of street-level retail space restores the building’s original commercial energy, while a pedestrian bridge connects residents directly to the adjacent parking deck. The exterior was meticulously restored, including refurbished windows, cleaned and repointed brickwork, reopened lightwells, and redesigned storefronts reflecting the building’s early 20th-century character. Encompassing roughly 90,000 square feet, the Dannenberg Building was the largest historic loft redevelopment in Macon at the time—setting a new standard for adaptive reuse in the city.
