The Book Loft

Purchased in Fall 2021, this portfolio includes two adjacent commercial buildings comprising approximately 12,500 SF. Originally developed in circa 1880s, these structures have served several uses over the past century and a half, and are an integral part of the historic German Village neighborhood. JREP partnered with the owners of the business, who had been leasing the building for 47 years, to purchase the real estate, in order to ensure that this treasured neighborhood gem would have a home for the next 50+ years. 

The Book Loft has been recognized as one of Columbus's top attractions for residents and visitors alike, and has been named as one of the best independently owned bookstores in America by several publications.
