Fairburn Lofts
Fairburn Lofts
Fairburn Lofts occupies the historic Fairburn Building at 10 Kearney Square in downtown Lowell — one of the city’s iconic converted industrial buildings, and a favorite among buyers who want loft living on a grand scale. Inside, the drama is real: ceilings that soar to 18 or even 20 feet, ten-foot arched windows, exposed steel and wooden beams, and original brick walls that no new construction can imitate.
Units are typically one- or two-bedroom layouts, with some designs using spiral staircases to reach a spacious mezzanine bedroom overlooking the living space below. Kitchens run modern — granite counters, stainless steel appliances, gas cooking — and many units include in-unit laundry, hardwood floors, central air via heat pump, and deeded basement storage. The tall south- and west-facing windows are famous for flooding the spaces with sunlight and delivering sunset views over the canal and historic rooftops.
Fairburn Lofts draws buyers who want downtown energy without compromise: UMass Lowell and Middlesex Community College are steps away, and the commuter rail, restaurants, theaters, parks, and shopping are all within easy walking distance. Parking is available in the lot connected to the building.

Fairburn Lofts attracts a particular kind of buyer — someone who would rather have 20-foot ceilings and original brick than a brand-new box. The building’s units have consistently traded in the mid-$300,000s, a figure that buys genuine architectural drama here: mezzanine bedrooms, ten-foot arched windows, and sunset views over the canal that no interior designer can fake. Association fees reflect the building’s age and services, and buyers should review the condo documents and reserve position like they would with any historic conversion. For investors, the walk-to-campus location near two colleges keeps rental demand deep; for owner-occupants, it’s simply one of the most distinctive places to live in Lowell.
Living at Kearney Square means living at the center of Lowell’s downtown renaissance — the Lowell Memorial Auditorium, Merrimack Repertory Theatre, and the Lowell National Historical Park are neighbors, and Boston is a commuter-rail ride away.
