The building’s renters, he added, “never have to
worry about parking for visitors. Since parking for the
building was designed for business, there is more than

The e-lofts project was completed last December. If it
proves successful, Cafritz intends to expand the concept to
50 to 100 buildings across the country. “Since its completion,”
Shin said, “e-lofts has sparked a lot of interest in the
industry to kick off more types of these projects.”
