Private investor group Alcatraz Investments, LLC has acquired the 188,000-square-foot Indianapolis Enterprise Center on the near-east side of the city. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. The facility features office as well as storage and industrial space, and serves small business customers in the downtown Indianapolis market. Alcatraz Investments now plans to upgrade the property, which has experienced four years of deferred maintenance. Scott Meyers, the company’s principal, has owned the center once before, from 2005 to 2007. “We’re genuinely excited about the opportunity to add this property back into our portfolio, having sold it back in 2007,” said Meyers. “The timing was perfect, as demand for storage and Industrial space is growing in this market, and the need for small, affordable office space has never been greater than during the recession.”
