June ‘23 Newsletter
June recap
Hello! We hope everyone is having a great summer thus far and looking forward to the weekend (hopefully long weekend for most). As the smoke clears- literally- and we look to the holiday & un-official ‘half-way’ point of summer, pour a glass of something chilled & take some well-deserved R&R.
Here is some fun stuff to flip through as your mind slowly wanders away from work & towards festivities . . .
📈 market insights 📉
We don't want to bore anyone with the statistics during our ~fun~ newsletter. So we shall make it quick for you few souls who like to keep up with the market in this section. Median sales price per square foot up 2% in May to $156 / sq.ft. in Marion & Hamilton counties. Percent of list price received up 0.7% in May to 99.9%.
Ok, phew, its over you did it! Back to your regularly scheduled programming..
📍 community updates 📍
📍[1] Downtown - Rooftop performance and event venue is planned at the Madam Walker Legacy Center. The four-story, 48,000 sq.ft. building houses the theater, a ballroom, and several offices. Madam C.J. Walker, whose parents were born into slavery, is known as the ‘first Black woman millionaire in America’ creating an empire out of Black hair care products. Her vision for the building in downtown Indianapolis was executed after her death in 1919. I'm in a rabbit hole now, but we love an Indy hero!
📍[2] Near-north side - Heath Outdoor LLC is planning a brewery, distillery, and tap room in Heath's 6,800-square-foot building near the Box Factory development north of the Mass Ave district. ‘The Yard at North Mass’ goal is to “connect the drinks, food and just being outside.” Neat!
📍[3] West of Downtown - An Ohio developer plans to spend $51M on apartments & townhouses on seven-acre tract of land on the western edge of the Central State Hospital campus.

🔠 ABC's of indy - ‘H’ 🔠
“H” is for…. Hubbard & Cravens!
A little bit of newsletter inception for you this month. Hubbard & Cravens in Broad Ripple is a popping spot to work and grab-and-go coffee alike. While I stuck with my go-to - an iced skinny vanilla oat milk latte - I have ordered the Healthy Elephant in the past and highly recommend. The Healthy Elephant: espresso, almond milk, honey, unsweetened cocoa and natural peanut butter blended to create a delicious frozen melmosa is fire!
Yum Yum Yum!
