Wonder Bread Loft #114
1 BR | 1 BA| $1475
Here’s what we love about Wonder Bread Lofts: no two are alike. In Wonder Bread 144, residents enjoy a custom-cut, completely unique granite countertop that guides the eye toward a spacious living area. We love this unit’s tall windows and the way the space seems to dramatically unfold. A second floor loft space provides flexibility for layout, design, and storage. We love this unit and know you will, too.
Wonder Bread Loft #211
2 BR | 2 BA | $1925
It’s not hard to see why this is one of our most asked about Wonder Bread Lofts. Wonder Bread 211 boasts exposed brick work from the original factory that pairs with striking mocha finished maple woodworking. Massive windows pour natural light in and overlook Columbus’s skyline. With high ceilings and granite countertops, this open-concept suite becomes perfect for hosting friends, family, or even just a romantic dinner for two. We have a feeling that this won’t be available for long.
Wonder Bread Loft #148
1 BR | 1.5 BA | $1650
Suite 148 features south- and west-facing windows that make the space seem massive and keep it bright and cheerful nearly all day. Its second story loft sections off this fantastic kitchen while still maintaining this unit’s open-concept feel. Historic elements–exposed ductwork, original flooring, and steel beams–pair with our own luxurious touches: granite countertops, brilliant tiling, and custom-fitted wooden cabinetry. It doesn’t get much better than this.
248 East 3rd Avenue
2 BR | 1.5 BA | $1625

Located in Italian Village, this vibrant little home welcomes guests with its cheerful blue exterior and bright red door. A nice front porch and a well kept backyard make the space great for warm months. Inside, residents love the hardwood flooring and the lively energy that the living area exudes. With a newly renovated kitchen, this space is perfect for cooking diners and hosting them, too.
1179 N. High Street
2 BR | 2 BA | $1725
You’re going to fall in love with this newly renovated property. Three skylights fill this unit with bright natural lighting. Guests will love coming over for dinner. In addition to its high-end stainless steel appliances, the kitchen features one-of-a-kind granite countertops. Spacious bedrooms are made complete by beautiful hardwood flooring, and with remarkable tiling work, each bathroom feels like a trip to the spa. Your apartment comes equipped with a high-efficiency washer and dryer. Luxury meets location. This High Street unit sits right next to the Garden Theater and on a block that sees new bars and restaurants popping up everyday.
Now, a bit about Lykens Companies…
With 20 years (and counting) of experience, we believe that Lykens Companies is just getting started on its mission to offer Columbus hundreds of premier apartments, rentals, and renovations. Each day, we are driving toward constantly expanding and improving our business and bettering Columbus, the city we love. For our renters, that means that they are connected to a proven business that is always striving to be the best. Our success isn’t an accident. We are constantly striving to improve our quality, both in the buildings that we renovate, reimagine, and rent out; moreover, we are striving to improve in the way that our business operates. For you, that means the best units and the best service in the best locations.
As we invest our time, money, and energy into the Short North, Victorian Village, Italian Village, and other parts of Columbus’s urban core, it’s nothing short of amazing to step back and see how much we’re able to impact our city, whether that looks like renovating apartments, houses, or even factories like the Wonder Bread Lofts and the forthcoming Budd Dairy project: a full scale reimagining of an old dairy factory into a Cameron Mitchell food hall and state-of-the-art coworking space.
If you’re looking to rent in Columbus, Ohio’s urban core, you’ve come to the right place. We’re confident that it doesn’t get better than us when it comes to finding the absolute best apartments and rentals in Columbus.
