Summary, model-written

Davenport Lofts (Davenport, IA) was a macaroni factory and railroad freight house closed in 1991. The Alexander Company retrofitted it in 2005 as 73 loft apartments using 'reinhabit' strategy. Status is 'built' with no current development opportunity (opp_score: 0.0).

Why. Retrofit already completed (2005), housing use confirmed. 7 nearby projects within 10km (e.g., Kerker Lofts, Market Lofts) all use 'reinhabit' strategy. Housing market shows ZHVI $250,205 (2026-09 projection) with 5.3% annual growth. Verified status is 'draft' (record incomplete).

Where it stands. No active development opportunity. Peer projects (all 6.5 score) confirm local success of repurposing industrial buildings for housing. Traffic data shows US 67 N (4 lanes, 13,700 ADT) nearby.
