AGORA AT THE PROSCENIUM - Carmel Monthly Magazine

For Immediate Release: CARMEL, INDIANA (August 27, 2019) Three central Indiana companies have announced they will relocate their corporate headquarters to the Agora at the Proscenium located at 10 West Carmel Drive in Carmel, Indiana. The 4-story, 100,000 SF office building is currently under construction and is scheduled for completion next summer. The office is being developed by Lauth Group, Inc. and is a part of Novo Development Group’s mixed-use Proscenium development located in the heart of Carmel. “We are thrilled to see that our investment into the redevelopment of this once under-performing property is now producing results in the way of private investment and new jobs for Carmel,” said Mayor Jim Brainard. “We welcome these companies to our growing number of corporate headquarters, and we look forward to sharing in their growth and success.” Schwarz Partners will relocate approximately 70 employees from their Indianapolis-based headquarters at Woodview Trace to the third floor of the Agora occupying approximately 25,000 SF. Schwarz is a privately held, second-generation company with multiple locations across the United States. In choosing a new location for its corporate headquarters, Schwarz focused on the quality of the overall development along with its access to lifestyle amenities. “We are excited to partner with Lauth in building our new corporate office headquarters,” commented Jack Schwarz, General Partner. CBRE’s John Vandenbark represented Schwarz Partners and Lauth Group, Inc. during lease negotiations. Valeo Financial Advisors will relocate their office operations from 9450 N. Meridian Street and will occupy the 25,000 SF fourth floor. The move will involve nearly 70 employees. Valeo was represented by Matt Waggoner and Adam Broderick of JLL during lease negotiations. “This new workspace, in the heart of Carmel’s growth plans, will improve the experience for our people and clients alike,” said John Trott, Valeo Financial Advisors. “We look forward to moving in next summer.” Carmel-based, Lauth Group, Inc. will relocate its headquarters from its current location to the second floor of the Agora. “To have the building more than 60% preleased prior to commencing construction validates our decision to develop this facility in Carmel. The benefit of walkability to amenities provided both within downtown Carmel and within the Proscenium development make this a highly desirable location,” shares Mike Jones, President and CEO of Lauth. Lauth will celebrate the lease announcements with a beam-signing ceremony on September 6th at the Agora jobsite. Mayor Brainard will provide remarks at noon.
