As a Realtor with years of prior downtown Indianapolis leasing experience, I know firsthand that many current downtown renters would like to buy downtown—but the limited inventory hinders that move.
It is also essential that we provide a sufficient number of for-sale condos and houses downtown if we want to keep attracting and retaining top talent to our city. A new wave of Salesforce and Cummins employees are soon to start work downtown, and we need to provide them with more local housing options than just apartments.
