LOFT reopens at new retail location

Ann Taylor’s LOFT in University City fully reopened at its new retail location — 120 S. 36th St. — on Monday, Sept. 14.

The store had to vacate its former space in the West Philadelphia Trust Building at 36th and Walnut streets as preparations to construct Penn’s new Perelman Center for Political Science and Economics begin.

LOFT held a soft opening at its new location on Sept. 12 and assumed regular hours on Sept. 14.

“FRES Real Estate team values LOFT in the retail mix on campus and worked with them to find a suitable location for them in our available retail spaces,” Executive Director of Real Estate for Facilities and Real Estate Services Ed Datz wrote in an email.

FRES is also assisting in the relocation of other offices that were in the Trust Building, including the Office of the General Counsel and the Office of Government and Community Affairs.

The Perelman Center for Political Science and Economics is scheduled to open in summer 2018.

An appropriate representative of LOFT could not be reached for comment before the time of publication.
