a lofty renovation 605 Lofts
The 1913 historic Handley building in downtown Sioux Falls has hosted everything from a hardware store to a barber shop. Most recently, it was under the ownership of Terry Gloe as Gloe Chiropractic . 605’s Alana Snyder came to a halt when driving by on 6th and Franklin on the way to work one morning. “When I drove by the building and saw a ‘for rent’ sign on the window, I picked up my phone and called to meet the owner,” she recalled. “I asked if he would be willing to sell, and that was the beginning of a six month conversation and process to close on our dream space.” Alana mentions Gloe believed in the couple and their vision for the building, which boasts both walkability downtown as well as being part of the Whittier neighborhood. “I love that I can walk to shops, restaurants, and events, but I also love that I can talk to people in the neighborhood and grab a quick coffee or grab supplies at Manna Bakery ,” said Alana. Drawn by the large, spacious windows overlooking the downtown scene, Alana says the Snyders could easily visualize the potential.
Achieving the potential was another arduous story.
