Property Description

SOLD

The property is conveniently located along South Western Avenue, Marion’s main retail corridor, which experiences a traffic count of 22,661 vehicles per day. The property is a new pad building in University Marketplace, a shopping center anchored by Meijer, the dominant supermarket chain in Indiana. Other major retailers in the center include T.J. Maxx, Hobby Lobby, and Kohl’s. National tenants in the nearby area include Walmart Supercenter, Lowe’s, Goodwill, Staples, Big Lots, and others. Mattress Firm’s local competition is limited to The Mattress Store, a privately owned retailer which does not have the horsepower to compete with Mattress Firm. As a result, the property is well-poised to be a high-volume store.

The property is directly across from Indiana Wesleyan University (IWU), making this location one of the best in the Marion retail market. IWU, which has a total enrollment of 15,872 students, is the largest private university in Indiana and the fastest-growing university in the state. IWU is also one of the top employers in Grant County; the university employs over 1,400 people and contributes over $1 million annually to the local economy.

Grant County’s largest employer, General Motors, operates its Marion Metal Center approximately three miles from the property. General Motors is currently investing $91 million into the Marion plant, which currently employs more than 1,600 workers. Walmart and Dollar General also operate large distribution facilities in the nearby area, with a combined workforce of 1,453 employees. Additionally, Marion’s central business district and Marion General Hospital, Grant County’s third largest employer, are located just over two miles from the property in downtown Marion.
