Aerial Lofts

Sleeps 125 bedrooms5 bathsBeds: 4 king, 1 queenThird floor, stairs only

Welcome to "Aerial Lofts" by The Brix: the full penthouse suite atop the historic 1890s Marshall Wells warehouse. After a nearly three-year renovation, we are proud to unveil Aerial East and Aerial West, together as one stay. Five bedrooms. Five bathrooms. Two full kitchens and two living areas, each with its own personality, flowing together when you want them to, and functioning independently when you don't. Canal Park Drive, the Lighthouse, and the Grandma's Marathon finish line on one side. The harbor and the iconic Marshall Wells water towers on the other.

Key Takeaways:

Prime Location: The entire top floor of Canal Park's most storied address, steps from everything the district has to offer.

Secured Street-Level Entry: Walk straight in from Canal Park Drive through your own secured entrance. Just your group, no other guests on the floor.

Please Note: Aerial Lofts occupies the third floor of a historic building with no elevator. Reaching the unit requires climbing stairs to the third floor, and the space is not ADA accessible. Please plan accordingly.

5 Bedrooms, 5 Bathrooms: Three king bedrooms (one ensuite) in Aerial East, plus a king bedroom, a queen bedroom (ensuite), and a reading nook with daybed in Aerial West.

Two Full Kitchens, Two Living Areas: Spread out, host two gatherings at once, or simply enjoy the space. Aerial Lofts gives every group room to breathe.

A Wedding Weekend Home Base: Two sides, five bedrooms, and room enough for the whole crew to get ready, gather, and celebrate, all under one roof, steps from Canal Park's venues and nightlife.

Family Friendly: From a highchair and kids dinnerware to a wagon and pack and play, we're set.

Brand New & Custom Designed: Every finish, fixture, and piece of furniture was hand-selected over nearly three years of renovation.

Exceptional Hospitality: Count on Tiegen & Keenan for prompt communication, thoughtful touches, and proactive support.

Your Stay, In Your Pocket: The Brix guidebook is built around your trip, from the countdown to checkout.

Ship Schedule: See which ships are coming under the Lift Bridge next.

The Brix Passport: Perks at 20+ Canal Park businesses, with a map to find them.

Canal Park Scavenger Hunt: Find the landmarks and earn your Explorer badge.

Historic Charm: Set inside the iconic 1890s Marshall Wells warehouse, reborn after years of careful restoration.

Views in Every Direction: Canal Park Drive and the energy below on one side; the harbor and the Marshall Wells water towers on the other, with a Juliet balcony on each.

Detailed Property Description:

A Reverent Restoration

We stripped back the excess to find the beautiful basics: raw Douglas Fir, exposed brick, and an uncompromised Northern soul. Aerial East runs deep green, drawn from the old-growth forests of the North. Aerial West runs deep blue, drawn from the depth and majesty of Lake Superior. Each side has its own personality, its own custom artwork, its own neon sign, and its own story. Every detail intentional. Something straight out of Architectural Digest, the kind of space that makes you stop at the door and say "wow" before you even set your bags down. Twice.

Two Kitchens, Twice the Space

Because Aerial Lofts combines both Aerial East and Aerial West, your group gets two full kitchens and two open living areas, ideal for large family reunions, multi-generational trips, or two groups traveling together who still want their own space at the end of the day.

Right in the Middle of It All

From one side, overlook Canal Park Drive, the heart of Duluth's tourist district, with the Lighthouse and glimpses of Lake Superior in the distance, and a front-row seat to the Grandma's Marathon finish line during race week. From the other, the working harbor and the iconic Marshall Wells water towers. You're not above it all looking down. You're right in it, from both sides of the building.

Built for the Wedding Party

With two full condos and five bedrooms split across opposite ends of the building, Aerial Lofts makes an effortless home base for a wedding weekend. Natural light beams it at all times of day. Let one side serve as the getting-ready space for one part of the wedding party and the other for the rest, gather everyone together in between, and step out to any of Canal Park's nearby venues, photo backdrops, and nightlife when it's time to celebrate.

Additional Features:

Private Laundry: Full in-unit washer and dryer in each side.

Two Workspaces: A dedicated workspace on each side, perfect for splitting up or spreading out.

Two Coffee Bars: A full coffee bar in both East and West.

Juliet Balconies: Two private balconies: one over Canal Park Drive, one over Lake Ave.

Heated Seat Smart Bidets: Everyone's favorite unexpected feature. Don't knock 'em til you try 'em!

Parking: Multiple paid Duluth parking lots within easy walking distance, plus a loading zone right in front of the building for quick, easy unloading, handy for a group this size. Duluth lots are $18.35/day per vehicle and managed through the Park Duluth app.

    “I stayed at The Brix with coworkers while we were in town for a conference. There was plenty of space for us to spend time together and for us to each have our own separate space as well. We had everything we needed and the location was perfect!”
