(INDIANAPOLIS) – Hines, the international real estate firm, in partnership with Cresset Real Estate Partners, announced that it has broken ground on Whiteland 65 Logistics Center, a 1.1-million-square-foot industrial project located on I-65 in Whiteland, Indiana. The project is Hines’ first Indianapolis-area logistics property, and the firm has selected Cushman and Wakefield to handle marketing and leasing efforts for the site.
The project will feature cross-dock configuration, 40-foot clear height, above-market parking ratios, direct I-65 frontage and generous outdoor amenity areas.
“Whiteland 65 Logistics Center will answer the growing demand for larger format bulk distribution and warehouse space in one of the area’s tightest submarkets,” said Joe Noon, director at Hines.
“We are excited to create a presence in the Indianapolis industrial market with this project and look forward to executing additional investments over time,” added Hines Managing Director, Will Renner.
Located off I-65 and Whiteland Road, Whiteland 65 Logistics Center is situated within Indianapolis’ South submarket, an area that has recently seen significant leasing activity from large institutional users despite limited current supply. The site is located less than 30 miles from Indianapolis International Airport and is immediately serviced by a four-way interchange, creating ideal access to metro Indianapolis as well as the Southeast via I-65 and the Eastern Seaboard via I-70.
“Cresset Real Estate Partners is pleased to partner with Hines to develop a truly state-of-the-art logistics center that will help to meet the short-term and long-term logistic needs of the region,” said Larry Levy, Co-Founder of Cresset Real Estate Partners.
