Citimark Buys Massive hhgregg Headquarters Campus in Indianapolis, Plans Redevelopment

by Jeff Shaw January 28, 2021

INDIANAPOLIS — Citimark has acquired the former headquarters of hhgregg Inc. and announced plans to redevelop the 27-acre property on the far north side of Indianapolis. Citimark hasn’t unveiled full plans yet, but says it is considering single or multi-tenant flex, industrial and last-mile uses while preserving the flexibility for some retail out-lots. Appliance, electronics and furniture retailer hhgregg declared bankruptcy and liquidated all its assets in 2017, including closing its 220 stores and laying off more than 5,000 workers. The 400,000-square-foot headquarters, which featured office, industrial and showroom buildings, has sat vacant since then. The property’s unique shell design, with an open-air courtyard that can accommodate 200 cars, may have slowed the sale process. In January of 2019, national car dealer Napleton Auto Group kicked the tires on the property as a potential Kia dealership, before backing out later in the month, according to the Indiana Business Journal. Local contractor Deem LLC considered purchasing the property, but pulled out of the deal in November 2020, reported the Journal. Ultimately, Citimark emerged as the buyer in late December, paying $14 million for the asset. Alex Cantu with Colliers Indianapolis assisted Citimark with the purchase.

US Commercial, Multifamily Construction Starts Down 20 Percent in 2020, Says Dodge Data

by John Nelson January 26, 2021

HAMILTON, N.J. —The value of commercial and multifamily construction starts in 2020 tumbled 20 percent to end the year at $193.4 billion, according to Dodge Data & Analytics. Within the top 20 metropolitan areas that the Hamilton-based research firm tracks, the fall was more severe as that group’s starts fell by 23 percent in value, or $111.1 billion. Overall, commercial real estate starts fell 26 percent in value to $104 billion, while multifamily building activity slid by 11 percent to $89.5 billion. Richard Branch, chief economist for Dodge Data, says that the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant negative impact on commercial and multifamily construction across the country with only a few markets seeing year-over-year increases in construction starts compared to 2019. “The construction sector will show signs of recovery in 2021, but, the road back to full recovery will be long and difficult. The effects of the pandemic on the U.S. economy and building markets will be felt for several years,” says Branch. “While some areas stabilized over the summer, the current wave of the virus has further hindered activity.” Only one metro area in Dodge Data’s top 10, Phoenix, reported a year-over increase in construction starts. The No. 7 …
