Engel & Völkers is pleased to present Can Ricart lofts: a unique conversion of 19th century industrial warehouses into beautiful modern residential lofts located in Barcelona’s 22@ district.
The buildings are listed as Cultural Assets of National Interest, and original features such as high ceilings, brick walls, and arched openings on the facades have been maintained while the original structure has been reinforced and completely renewed.
The lofts feature unique multi-level floor plans of 1, 2 and 3 bedrooms. There are lofts with private gardens, terraces and/or interior patios that create light wells into the homes.
Finishes are of top quality in the loft aesthetic. Flooring ranges from micro-cement, parquet wood, porcelain, and brick. The homes are comfortable year round with an aerothermal system that provides air conditioning and underfloor heating. Additionally, there is home automation, Siemens kitchen appliances, and Hansgrohe and Duravit in the bathrooms.
Warehouse A features its own community garden and a swimming pool shared by the 12 lofts. Warehouse B is located next to the iconic Can Ricart chimney and each flat has a private open roof terrace. Warehouse C lofts are much like semi-detached homes with enclosed gardens. Warehouse D is emblematic of New York lofts with high ceilings and oversized windows.
Upon entering this duplex on the ground floor, we find the open-plan kitchen, living and dining areas that open onto the pedestrian street, as well as a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. On the upper floor there is another bedroom with an en suite bathroom and a private roof terrace.
The Can Ricart lofts are located within 4 pedestrian city blocks in Poblenou’s 22@ district of Barcelona. This unique zone creates a sense of neighborhood with open spaces, no vehicular traffic, and a mixed use of buildings including a hotel, university campus, and student residences. The property is adjacent to the expansive and leafy Parc Central del Poblenou, designed by architect Jean Nouvel.
The 22@ area is undergoing major redevelopment, and while many properties are converting into new highrises, there are only a handful of unique projects such as this one. Through preserving the historic structure, this development is unique for its conversion of industrial warehouses. 22@ is known for its technology hubs, both startup and global firms, hotels, parks, and universities. It is well connected to the city with key public transport links and the international airport via the Ronda Litoral. The Mar Bella beach is a 15 minute walk. Parking is available in nearby garages.
This development is designed for those looking to enjoy urban living with the comfort and convenience of a new property. As a pied a terre or full time residence, this is an outstanding investment opportunity.
