From a vision to reality.
It started with a flat tire. On an ordinary day, Edson brought his truck to a tire shop on Prospect Avenue. The moment he walked in, he got chills. He looked up at the high ceilings and the old steel trusses and, almost to himself, said: "This would be an excellent place for events."
At the time, it was still a working tire shop. But Edson could already see it full of music, families, weddings and celebrations.
Born and raised on the south side of São Paulo, Brazil, Edson moved to Connecticut in May 2016 and built his life here one project at a time. Today he leads Eddy Build Group, a family of Connecticut companies in construction, renovation, kitchens and cabinetry, property services, cleaning and entertainment.
About a year after that first visit, the tire shop had closed, and the keys to the building were in Edson's hands. It was little more than an empty warehouse with a single bathroom.
Determined to bring his vision to life, Edson brought together the resources, experience and expertise of his own companies, EDG Services, ESN General Contractor and Fair Cabinets Express, along with the invaluable support of trusted partners.
Together, they completely transformed the space, handling everything from structural modifications, framing, carpentry, walls, painting and finishes to the custom cabinetry, bar, kitchen, lounges and every detail that makes The Loft what it is today.
What began as an empty warehouse became a beautiful venue, built through hard work, dedication, teamwork and the belief that a dream could become reality.
On opening night, Edson and his family celebrated this milestone with an elegant All Black Gala. As he looked around the room, remembering the empty warehouse and the flat tire that had started it all, he felt an overwhelming sense of pride and gratitude: "We did it."
What started as a simple vision became The Loft: a dream brought to life, a place where families gather, memories are created and unforgettable moments begin.
Today The Loft is a family business. Edson takes care of the building and keeps making it better, his wife Daniela and their daughter Gabriela run the administration and finances, and our general manager Amanda takes care of every booking and every guest. We all share the same goal: a beautiful, organized space where every guest feels welcome.
Elegance to welcome, joy to celebrate, and care to make every moment count.
