GOSHEN, IN—The industrial market in this state's capital city has received a lot of attention recently as developers have broken ground on a set of vast distribution buildings. But farther north, the industrial market in the Ft. Wayne/Elkhart metropolitan area, although significantly smaller, has also begun to perk up. InSite Real Estate, for example, an Oak Brook, IL-based firm, recently broke ground on a 125,000-square-foot build-to-suit expansion of an existing distribution center in Goshen, IN for Dometic, a supplier to the RV, marine, automotive, medical and hotel industries.

InSite started construction in August, James Schmiedeskamp, the director of marketing and corporate communications, tells GlobeSt.com, and when it completes the project in December, it will have doubled Dometic's warehousing space in Goshen and allow the company to combine four leased warehouse operations. “It's going to be a seamless expansion. We're pretty effective when it comes to these turn-key projects.”

“This project was needed on a fast-track basis to meet their growing needs for warehouse space,” says Ted Prasopoulos, an InSite managing director. “Because of this partnership and InSite's proven track record of building high-performance industrial facilities, on time and on budget, we were asked to provide Dometic with a 125,000-square-foot expansion which doubled the size of the facility they currently lease from us.”
