Browning Acquires 17 Acres in Carmel, Indiana
CARMEL, Ind. – Browning Investments announced today that it has acquired 43 home sites for redevelopment as commercial property at U.S. 31 and 131st Street in Carmel, Ind. The properties are located immediately adjacent to Browning’s Meridian & Main Development which together will consist of approximately 37 acres of property for the development of office and medical buildings, hotels and service retail uses.
The acquisition of the home sites located in the Meridian Heights Subdivision was well received by the homeowners as the average valuation of this neighborhood steadily decreased since 2000. Browning paid a premium to market value, thus allowing the homeowners a tremendous opportunity to reinvest in other neighborhoods with greater potential and where current prices are depressed.
The Meridian & Main Business Park when fully developed will comprise of more than 600,000 square feet. The park is fully entitled and features ready to use building sites from 1.5 to 10 acres.
The site will benefit from several ongoing and future projects planned for the area. Located at the intersection of Meridian Street (US 31) and 131st Street, the project will serve as the primary access point to Downtown Carmel and is situated directly adjacent to the new 131st Street and Meridian Intersection which is being constructed as part of Indiana’s Major Moves road construction project. Once the Major Moves project is complete, the US 31/Meridian Corridor will be a limited access and provide more immediate access to I-465 and to the significant amenities located at 146th Street.
In addition, the City of Carmel is in the process of widening 131st Street on the west side and east side of Meridian Street. Once complete, 131st Street will become a major east/west artery from Downtown Carmel to The Village of West Clay and beyond. Browning also plans for the extension of Pennsylvania Street through the project, eventually allowing for a direct connection into the St. Vincent Carmel Hospital Campus.
Browning pioneered the development of the Meridian Corridor including Penn Mark Plaza, Fidelity Plaza, Meridian Mark Plaza, Meridian Technology Center, the former Thomson Consumer Electronics Headquarters and Meridian Tower. Overall these projects comprise 4.0 million square feet of office space and over 30 Class A buildings.
The Meridian & Main project is one of several major developments that Browning has underway including Elanco Global Headquarters in Greenfield, Indiana, AllPoints Midwest and AllPoints at Anson, a joint venture with Duke Realty, Northwest Technology Center and AirTech Park, a joint venture with ProLogis.
