Humboldt Lofts | 750 South 2nd St., Minneapolis, 55401 | Mill District
Humboldt Lofts is a distinctive 36-unit condominium development at 750 S 2nd Street in the Mill District of Minneapolis. The property combines two very different residential styles: the historic Humboldt Mill, with its industrial brick-and-concrete character, and the more contemporary Humboldt Annex.
Residences in the original mill may feature exposed brick, arched windows, concrete floors, and other historic warehouse details, while homes in the Annex offer a more modern design with large windows, open kitchens, hardwood floors, and contemporary finishes.
The building sits near the Mississippi River, Gold Medal Park, Mill Ruins Park, the Stone Arch Bridge, and the broader Mill District. Individual units can vary significantly in floor plan, views, balcony or outdoor space, parking, renovation quality, and overall condition.

A Local Guide to Humboldt Lofts
Humboldt Lofts is unusual because it combines a historic industrial conversion and a modern residential addition within the same development. That gives buyers two very different architectural experiences while remaining in the same Mill District location.
After more than 20 years working with Minneapolis condos and lofts, I have found that Humboldt buyers should pay especially close attention to which portion of the building a unit is in, because floor plan, architecture, window style, natural light, views, and overall feel can differ substantially between the original mill and the Annex.
Historic Humboldt Mill
The original Humboldt Mill offers the stronger warehouse-loft character of the two portions of the development.
Common features may include:
- Exposed brick
- Concrete floors
- Arched industrial windows
- Open loft-style layouts
- Historic structural elements
- High ceilings
Individual residences vary, so buyers should compare the specific floor plan, window placement, natural light, renovation quality, and views.
Humboldt Annex
The Humboldt Annex provides a more contemporary residential experience while remaining connected to the historic development.
Common features may include:
- Large floor-to-ceiling windows
- Open kitchens
- Hardwood flooring
- Modern finishes
- Private balconies on select units
- More contemporary floor plans
The Annex can be especially useful for buyers who like the Mill District location but prefer modern design over a traditional brick-and-timber loft.
Floor Plans and Unit Differences
Humboldt Lofts contains approximately 36 residences, and the units vary widely in size and configuration.
Buyers should compare:
- Historic Mill vs. Annex location
- Floor plan
- Unit orientation
- Natural light
- River, park, bridge, or skyline views
- Balcony or outdoor space
- Renovation quality
- Parking
- Storage
- Overall condition
Because the two portions of the development are architecturally different, broad building averages can be less useful than recent comparable sales from similar units.
Humboldt Lofts Amenities
Shared amenities have historically included:
- Rooftop patio
- Fitness center
- Community room
- Lobby and common areas
- Storage
- Secured access
- On-site building services
Buyers should verify current amenities and exactly what is included in monthly HOA dues through the most recent association documents, since services and operating costs can change over time.
Views and Outdoor Space
Some Humboldt residences offer views toward the Mississippi River, Stone Arch Bridge, Gold Medal Park, or downtown Minneapolis, depending on floor and orientation.
Private balconies are available on some units, while others rely more on shared outdoor space. Buyers should verify both the view corridor and outdoor space for the individual residence.
HOA and Association Considerations
Association review is especially important in a mixed historic-and-modern condominium development.
- Monthly HOA dues and what they include
- Reserve funds
- Special assessments
- Association insurance
- Recent and planned capital projects
- Masonry, windows, roof, and mechanical systems
- Responsibilities specific to the historic mill vs. Annex
- Rental restrictions
- Parking and storage rights
- Pet policies
- Association meeting minutes
- Any known litigation or major repair issues
Historic masonry and older building systems can create different maintenance needs than newer construction, so buyers should understand both the individual unit and the association's long-term capital planning.
Parking and Storage
Parking and storage should be confirmed for each individual residence. Buyers should determine exactly what parking rights are included and whether separate storage is part of the unit.
Parking can have a meaningful effect on value, particularly for larger residences in the Mill District.
Mill District Location
Humboldt Lofts is located in the Mill District near Gold Medal Park, Mill Ruins Park, the Mississippi River, the Guthrie Theater, and the Stone Arch Bridge.
The location gives Humboldt a strong riverfront and historic-mill setting that differs from the warehouse-loft environment of the North Loop.
Humboldt Lofts vs. Stone Arch Lofts
Buyers considering Humboldt may also compare Stone Arch Lofts, another distinctive Mill District option near the riverfront and historic milling district.
The two buildings differ in scale, architecture, floor plans, association structure, parking, views, and overall residential feel.
Humboldt Lofts vs. Bridgewater and Stonebridge
Buyers may also compare Humboldt with Bridgewater Lofts and Stonebridge Lofts.
Bridgewater and Stonebridge provide newer construction and larger-scale amenity packages, while Humboldt offers a smaller association and a distinctive blend of historic and contemporary architecture.
