Steelhaus Condos for Sale

Est. 2017

South End industrial luxury

2125 Hawkins St, South End 28203 · Built 2017 · 98 residences · 5 floors

Steelhaus is South End's defining industrial-luxury residence — a steel-frame glass-and-brick mid-rise on the historic South End rail-trail whose architectural posture references the warehouse heritage of the neighborhood while delivering contemporary residential finishes. For South End buyers, no building is more on-brand.

Built in 2017, Steelhaus combined exposed steel structural framing with floor-to-ceiling glass and brick accent walls — an architectural vocabulary that explicitly referenced South End's industrial-warehouse heritage. The result is a building that feels architecturally inevitable in its neighborhood context.

Buyer profiles concentrate among design principals, agency partners, tech executives, and a meaningful share of younger luxury buyers who specifically prioritized South End cultural integration. The building's intimate scale (98 residences) supports a tightly knit resident community.

Pricing tiers concentrate $525K–$725K for one-bedroom, $800K–$1.3M for two-bedroom, and $1.4M–$2.1M for three-bedroom and corner residences. Top-floor units with rail-trail-and-skyline orientation occasionally clear $2.2M+ when they surface.
