The Lofts on 5th features 12 unique apartments ranging from 1 bedroom to 4 bedrooms. Located off of 5th Street and Evans, the location is in the center of the Uptown District and in walking distance to ECU's campus. The apartments are located within a historic building originally built in the late 1920's as a three-story Montgomery Ward retail store. Over the years this building has housed a furniture store, Belk-Tyler department store, and a bookstore before being renovated into apartments and a restaurant space on the first floor in 1990. Nash Hot Chicken currently occupies the restaurant space. Adding to the fun story of this building, in an article about the building's history Roger Kammerer points out ''This unique building has the only polychrome terra cotta façade erected in Greenville and is only one of a handful of terra cotta clad buildings in eastern North Carolina.'' The Lofts has 2 and 3 bedroom units ranging in price from $1000 up to $1500. MOVE IN SPECIAL!! $100 off first two month's rent w/signed lease by 7.15.24
