Commercial Property Executive (CPE) released a list of Indianapolis’ Largest Rental Developments Completed in 2015 – and Flaherty & Collins Properties Axis, a mixed-use downtown development, ranked No. 1 on the list.

Nearly 20 large apartment communities reached completion last year in Indianapolis, adding over 3,500 units to the local rental inventory, and overshadowing the metro’s 2014 performance, when just over 2,100 units were delivered in 14 properties.

Many of the area’s new residents are young professionals employed by businesses—mainly tech companies—and the latest lifestyle developments target this new, affluent niche.
