INDIANAPOLIS—This metro area saw historic industrial occupancy gains in 2016, followed by yet another wave of development last year, and in 2018 investors stand ready to their pour funds into this still-rising market. Hillwood, a Perot company, kicked off the year by acquiring four class A buildings totaling 1,085,810 square feet. Its new properties include:

The company also recently purchased several class A speculative projects in Columbus.
