The three-story building located at the corner of North First Street and Main Street in downtown Albemarle North Carolina was built in 1908 and has been the home of several businesses over the years. The most notable being the former Lowder Hardware. The 2-story annex portion of the facility, primarily used as storage for the hardware store, collapsed onto itself due to roof failure after years of neglect. After obtaining the proper demolition permits, the developer removed the collapsed structure in preparation for a new 3-story brick apartment complex complementing the primary historic structure, architecturally blending it with adjacent buildings in the downtown area. The primary historic structure was completely gutted and the developer renovated the 3-story building to house upscale luxury apartments and commercial spaces.
The floor plans for 1st on Main luxury apartments include nine (9) two-bedroom residential apartments, eleven (11) one-bedroom residential apartments, nine (9) studio residential apartments as well as three (3) commercial retail spaces with outdoor seating along North First Street. Many on-site amenities offer tenants all-inclusive conveniences for hassle-free lifestyles. These apartments are just a few blocks away from the Pfeiffer graduate building housing the Physician Assistant and Occupational Therapy programs.
The facility is secured by 24/7 surveillance cameras and digital keyless entry doors with constant monitoring by Security Central. The facility includes aesthetically pleasing LED decorative street lighting along North First and Main Streets to complement existing street and tree lighting provided by the city.
