According to Colliers, “the Indianapolis industrial market delivered more than 2.06-million-square-feet of new investment-grade industrial buildings in the first quarter of 2013, with the vast majority of new product located in the Southwest (Plainfield) and Northwest (Allpoints Anson) submarkets.” Particularly significant was the delivery of Industrial Developments International's 795,000-square-foot speculative project at the same Ameriplex park.
