What October looks like from a downtown office

There is something about October light that makes where you work matter more. The days compress. The air changes. And if your office has original brick walls, arched windows, and a view of the street below, the shift feels like something rather than nothing.

A workday at Clock Tower Lofts runs a little differently. Coffee from somewhere walkable. A midday errand that takes four minutes instead of forty. Afternoon light moving across a workspace that was built to last a century and looks it.

That is the kind of office October deserves. Learn more about commercial availability at stuartclocktowerlofts.com/commercial-space.html

Starting a BIG project on the history of the Masonic Temple/Stuart Clocktower. There’s a lot to go through and so much to learn! Huge thanks to Bob Cook for getting this project jump started with many articles from The Herald and pictures.
If you have any pictures, newspaper clippings, old documents floating around, I’d love to see what you have! If anyone is willing to share materials, I will handle with care, scan the materials and return back to you.
This is totally a passion project full of dust and lots of paper! Jay Lindgren

Your business address has been a landmark since 1894

Most office signage blends into the streetscape. The Clock Tower Lofts building at 111 NW 2nd Street has been the most recognized facade in downtown Stuart for over 130 years. That visibility does not belong to the building alone. It belongs to whoever is inside.

The clock tower is seen from blocks away. The Romanesque brickwork, the round-arched windows, the sheer presence of the structure, these register before anyone reads a sign. When your business operates from this address, the building itself becomes part of your identity. Passive visibility, built in 1894, maintained ever since.

Commercial spaces are available now. Learn more at stuartclocktowerlofts.com/commercial-space.html

Your address says something before you do

Before a client walks through your door, your address has already told them something about how seriously you take your work. 111 NW 2nd Street is one of the most recognized buildings in Stuart. The clock tower, the arched windows, the 1894 brickwork, they signal permanence, intention, and care. That is not a small thing when first impressions are still being formed.

Commercial space at Clock Tower Lofts puts your business in a building that does some of that work for you. Ground-floor visibility on a walkable downtown block, inside a structure listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is a practical business decision that also happens to look like one.

Downtown Is Not Just a Location

For some businesses, being downtown is incidental. For others, it is the whole strategy.

If your work depends on local relationships, walk-in visibility, or simply being part of the fabric of the community, a Main Street address changes everything. It puts you where people already are. It signals permanence. It makes you findable in the way that matters most, in person, on foot, in the course of a normal day.

The commercial spaces at Clocktower Lofts sit at 111 NW 2nd Street, inside one of the most recognizable buildings in Stuart. The location is practical. The presence it lends your business is something else entirely.

Most office spaces have a lease date. This one has an origin story

Built in 1894 by the Des Moines firm Merrill and Smith, the Masonic Temple was designed to be noticed. The Romanesque Revival brickwork, the round-arched windows, the clock tower visible from blocks away, none of that happened by accident. This was a building meant to last.

It has. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1996, Clocktower Lofts still anchors downtown Stuart the way it always has: as the most recognizable address on the block.

Commercial space is available now. If you want your business inside a building with actual history behind it, learn more at stuartclocktowerlofts.com/commercial-space.html
