Following a $24 million makeover, the FFV Interbake Building officially reopened Nov. 15 as the Cookie Factory Lofts.<\/p>\n<p>From 1927 to 2006, the six-story factory served as the headquarters and main production plant of Interbake Foods, Inc., known earlier as the Southern Biscuit Works Co. or Famous Foods of Virginia. After Interbake relocated eight years ago, its 255,000-square-foot home sat vacant.<\/p>\n<p>The building&#8217;s next chapter began in 2013, when the Rebkee Co. purchased it with the intention of transforming it into a residential property. Rebkee assembled a team that included Commonwealth Architects, Branch and Associates and Capstone Contracting Co. to create an upscale 178-unit project. The four companies celebrated the grand opening of the Cookie Factory Lofts on Saturday, November 15.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_308086\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"width: 188px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/synd.yardi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2014\/11\/interbake_side.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-308086\" title=\"interbake_side\" src=\"https:\/\/synd.yardi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2014\/11\/interbake_side.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"178\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Cookie Factory Lofts<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Cookie Factory Lofts comprises 98 one-bedroom units, 61 two-bedroom units, seven three-bedroom units and 12 studios.
