Circle City Industrial Complex

Constructed in 1918, The Circle City Industrial Complex (CCIC) was the original home to the Schwitzer Corporation, a major auto industry force during the post-World War I era. The Schwitzer Corporation's founder, Louis Schwitzer was an automotive pioneer who was responsible for significant improvements in cooling, hydraulics, and the development of the turbocharger. He was also a race car driver, famous for winning the first ever race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway which then was a five mile, two-lap race held on August 19, 1909.

After the Schwitzer Corporation closed in the early 1990s, portions of the building were redeveloped to accommodate non-industrial uses, such as offices and artist studios.

Teagen Development purchased the CCIC in 2015. At that time, the property was ailing, with fewer that 40 tenants and years of deferred maintenance. Over the next several years, Teagen stabilized the property, adding more than 100 tenants and performing long overdue repairs and updates to make the building viable again.

Today, the 450,000 square foot “northern” portion of the building (from Centerpoint Brewing to the northeastern end), is nearly 100% occupied. Tenants in this area include Indianapolis’ largest artist community, wood shops, metal shops, not-for-profits, small businesses, warehousing and distribution, and more. The original factory footprint- the “southern end”- built in 1918, is undergoing complete redevelopment and will house restaurants, retail, high end office space, a performance venue, and more.
