Major Bloomington properties tied to Jeff Jones sell for $9.5 million

Two major properties formerly owned by notorious Bloomington landlord Jeff Jones have changed ownership for a combined $9.5 million. A Bloomington-based limited liability company called Magnolia Park, owned by Bloomington residents Narayan and Veronica Silwal, has bought former Jones properties on the city's west and northeastern sides. Transactions in October included the 54-unit Shamrock Pointe apartment complex on McCracken Way, in northeastern Bloomington, and the commercial/residential property at 3939 W. Roll Ave., on the city’s west side, where Jones had based his company, Pendragon Properties, which dates back to the 1980s. Magnolia Park LLC bought the Shamrock complex for $7.5 million and the west side property for $2 million, according to local property records. Magnolia Park was formed in August, roughly two months before the acquisitions closed, according to state records. Before the purchases, the Silwals’ known Monroe County real-estate holdings consisted primarily of condominiums on South Cramer Circle, in Batchelor Heights. Jones, who last year agreed to sell his Bloomington rental properties as part of a settlement with the city, has had disputes with city officials for years. In August and September 2018, city inspectors documented more than 1,800 violations at three of Jones’ Bloomington apartment complexes. A few

It's time to rethink multifamily housing | Opinion

Few topics generate more controversy at local council meetings than a proposed apartment community. Residents frequently raise concerns about traffic, schools, crime, neighborhood character, and property values. Those concerns are disconnected from today's reality. With the election behind us, local leaders have an opportunity to turn their attention to the decisions that will shape their communities for years to come. Housing policy, in particular, will play a critical role in determining whether communities can attract new residents, support local businesses and remain economically competitive. The truth is simple: multifamily housing is not a threat to strong communities. It is one of the building blocks of them. In fact, a 2026 study by Indianapolis Metropolitan Planning Organization found that mid-rise apartments generated an average of $1.37 million in annual net municipal revenue per 10 acres across three Central Indiana communities, compared to just $8,710 for estate homes. The benefits extend to schools, where five rental housing types generated nearly $2 million in combined annual net revenue for a school district, while five ownership housing types produced a combined $213,597 deficit across equivalent development scenarios. Beyond public finances, higher-density housing provides the consistent customer base and foot traffic that local businesses need

The old department store stood largely intact when I drove past on Friday afternoon. By Sunday, though, huge sections of it had vanished.
