Working from home at Harbach Lofts
A reading room and a resident lounge when the apartment gets small, a 24-hour fitness center for the break, and a glass-roofed courtyard to cross to a meeting without going outside.
The shared spaces
- A library and reading room with floor-to-ceiling shelves

The reading room and the courtyard have their own pages.
Internet and utilities
Residents arrange their own internet with the providers that serve the address. We do not name providers or speeds here because both change; the leasing office can tell you what current residents use. Electricity and gas are set up with MidAmerican Energy; water, sewer and trash are billed back at a flat fee by home size.
The apartment as an office
Studios and the smaller one bedrooms suit a single desk; the two bedroom homes, from 882 square feet, give you a room to close the door on. Exposed brick and the oversized factory windows mean good light in many homes, though that varies by unit. Harbach Lofts has studios, one bedrooms and two bedroom homes, from 427 to 1,103 square feet, each with a full-size washer and dryer and an updated kitchen inside the original 1906 shell. Live pricing for every open home is on the availability page.
