Detailed Property Description

A Reverent Restoration

We stripped back the excess to find the beautiful basics: raw Douglas Fir, exposed brick, and an uncompromised Northern soul. Aerial East runs deep green, drawn from the old-growth forests of the North. Aerial West runs deep blue, drawn from the depth and majesty of Lake Superior. Each side has its own personality, its own custom artwork, its own neon sign, and its own story. Every detail intentional. Something straight out of Architectural Digest, the kind of space that makes you stop at the door and say "wow" before you even set your bags down. Twice.

Two Kitchens, Twice the Space

Because Aerial Lofts combines both Aerial East and Aerial West, your group gets two full kitchens and two open living areas, ideal for large family reunions, multi-generational trips, or two groups traveling together who still want their own space at the end of the day.

Right in the Middle of It All

From one side, overlook Canal Park Drive, the heart of Duluth's tourist district, with the Lighthouse and glimpses of Lake Superior in the distance, and a front-row seat to the Grandma's Marathon finish line during race week. From the other, the working harbor and the iconic Marshall Wells water towers. You're not above it all looking down. You're right in it, from both sides of the building.

Built for the Wedding Party

With two full condos and five bedrooms split across opposite ends of the building, Aerial Lofts makes an effortless home base for a wedding weekend. Natural light beams it at all times of day. Let one side serve as the getting-ready space for one part of the wedding party and the other for the rest, gather everyone together in between, and step out to any of Canal Park's nearby venues, photo backdrops, and nightlife when it's time to celebrate.

Additional Features
