LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) – A century-old warehouse in Louisville’s Portland neighborhood is being transformed into more than 100 apartments, marking the latest step in the area’s ongoing redevelopment.
The $35.7 million project, called Liminal Louisville, will feature four floors of residential space and 20,000 square feet of retail on the ground level. Recent city loans, along with state and federal historic tax credits, helped make the project possible.

Construction began this week, and developers expect the first residents to move in at the beginning of 2027.
Walter Shannon, who owns a nearby art gallery, said he has seen the neighborhood change over the last 25 years and welcomes the development.
“I am hoping this will continue,” Shannon said.
The project is part of a larger trend in Portland, where apartments like Painter’s Row across the street have already opened and are fully occupied.
Louisville Downtown Partnership officials said new residential projects in redeveloped areas near Waterfront Park Phase Four and the PlayPort are appealing to both locals and newcomers.
“To have a strong downtown you have to have strong adjacent neighborhoods,” said Rebecca Fleischaker, Executive Director of Louisville Downtown Partnership.
Shannon hopes Liminal Louisville will encourage even more growth in the area.
“We’re looking for more people to come that’s local, and I really believe that will happen now that these new residences are happening,” he said.
