Historic Renovation | Downtown Northfield

NCC Builders recently completed the full renovation of a 7,000-square-foot historic building in downtown Northfield, transforming the former Northfield News space into Loon Liquor Co.’s new distillery, cocktail room, and pizzeria.

Located on Fifth Street West just steps from Division Street, this project revitalized a longstanding downtown structure while preserving its character and preparing it for a new chapter as a vibrant community gathering space.

Project Highlights

  • Full renovation of a historic downtown building
  • 100-seat cocktail room and expanded distillery operations
  • Commercial kitchen and pizzeria build-out
  • On-site flour milling integration
  • Repurposing and preservation of existing building materials
  • Tight construction timeline aligned with targeted opening

With a goal to open ahead of Northfield’s busy fall season, the project required careful coordination and disciplined scheduling. NCC Builders’ full-time team maintained close oversight of every phase, ensuring quality craftsmanship while keeping the renovation on track.

Throughout the build, original elements of the structure were thoughtfully preserved and repurposed, honoring the building’s history while upgrading it to meet modern production, safety, and hospitality standards.

The finished space reflects Loon Liquor Co.’s grain-to-glass philosophy and deep commitment to local partnerships — and stands as another example of NCC Builders delivering complex commercial renovations on time and on budget.
