First, you should know that what people mean by a HARD DALLAS LOFT vs. a SOFT DALLAS LOFT. A HARD DALLAS LOFT means that the loft is primarily concrete walls and floors (sometimes hardwoods) with exposed duct work.  This is typically because the loft is made from a former converted warehouse...that is now divided up into separate living areas (lofts).

A HARD LOFT also usually means a big space with NO separated walls for bedrooms!   In some cases, there are somewhat separated areas for the bedroom or living room.  

The best HARD LOFTS are pretty much found in Downtown Dallas , which would make sense (this is where the most older wareshouse style buildings are).  However, you can also find a few hard lofts in Uptown,  and even Las Colinas and Plano.

A SOFT DALLAS LOFT., however, means that the residence is more like a traditional apartment, with sheetrock walls typically...but with some elements of a hard loft , like concrete floors or hardwoods...sometimes even with some "new shiny duct work."   Another element that would make an apartment be called a loft would be the presence of a " loft " area (open are) on a 2nd floor.  A popular apartment in Downtown Dallas has all carpeted floors, but calls their apartments soft lofts because of the 18 feet ceilings and the 2nd floor open " loft " area.
