A Building Defined by Intention, Not Assumption

2500 Smallman Street represents one of the Strip District’s most architecturally significant residential conversions. Originally an industrial warehouse, the structure was transformed through a deliberate adaptive-reuse process into a boutique collection of refined urban residences.
Unlike typical conversions, the building was delivered as a true structural shell, requiring each residence to be thoughtfully engineered and constructed from foundational systems upward. The result is a building where luxury is not merely decorative — it is structural, intentional, and embedded in the construction process itself.

This philosophy distinguishes 2500 Smallman from many new developments: every residence was built with purpose, performance, and longevity in mind.

A One-of-One Urban Residence

Residence 6 is one of eleven townhomes in one of the city's largest developments by square footage, and is architecturally dynamic within the building.
Approx. 4,300+ TOTAL Sq Ft  (indoor and outdoor)
Designed across two expansive levels, the residence blends sophisticated entertaining spaces with private living quarters, creating a layout ideal for both everyday luxury and large-scale hosting.

Highlights include:
• Grand open living and dining spaces
• Soaring industrial ceilings and architectural steel
• Gallery-style sightlines for art and design
• Custom architectural selections throughout
• Two guest bedrooms
• Primary suite with spa bath and walk-in closet
• Designer lighting and curated finishes
• Seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining flow

Every element of the home reflects bespoke design rather than typical production construction. 2500 Smallman does not even compare to the Brownstones. 

Private Outdoor Living
Residence 6 offers rare private outdoor spaces in the heart of the Strip District.

Features include:
• Expansive private terrace for entertaining
• Gas grill and fireplace
• Rainwater collection system
