Developers
Whiskey Row Lofts is a project that was co-developed by CITY Properties Group and siblings Valle and Stephen Jones. The team set out on this historic renovation with the goal of creating a pedestrian-oriented mixed use community with unique features, seldom found in downtown renovations.
131 West Main Street has been in the Jones family since 1984. In 2008, the acquisition of the adjoining Burwinkle-Hendershot building was completed, creating sufficient massing for a renovation that would retain most of the unique features of the building.
Weyland Ventures, led by Bill Weyland, is a multi-disciplinary real estate development firm known for creating unique mixed-use properties in Louisville’s downtown, incorporating residential, commercial, retail, and entertainment uses.

She has also been involved in developing and securing financing for over 1,000 units of affordable and market rate housing and approximately 1 million sq. ft. of commercial real estate (Class A offices, shopping centers, neighborhood commercial, and flex/industrial space) including new construction and historic renovations.
