Senco Properties has secured a full building permit for Dinkel’s Lofts, a seven-story mixed-use project located at 3327 N. Lincoln. Designed by Jonathan Splitt Architects, the structure will rise nearly 80 feet and preserve the historic facades of the original Dinkel’s Bakery and an adjacent three-story brick building. The development includes 42 residential units—comprising studios, one-, two-, and three-bedroom layouts—alongside approximately 3,992 square feet of ground-floor retail space, a 20-car parking garage, and various amenities including a fitness center and roof deck.

While the property was reportedly listed for sale by developer Senco Properties (part of PCR Group) in November, the permit filing maintains Senco Properties as the developer. General contractor Sovereign Construction Co LLC is authorized to begin construction, though separate demolition permits are still required to clear the site before work can proceed.
