Leaving Your Mark & Being a Good Neighbor

At Shiel Sexton we live by the motto "leave your mark". This has been realized through construction projects in a number of locations, some of our projects specific to Central Indiana include the new Downtown Convention Center and the Carmel Performing Arts Center. This has also been realized through less conspicuous projects to help revitalize the north side of Downtown Indianapolis. Starting with our own building at 902 North Capitol Avenue, once the Indianapolis Casket Company, that is now our headquarters. Since then we have continued to "leave our mark" on our neighborhood by buying and revitalizing three more buildings, most recently 1302 N. Meridian, which used to be the old Buick/GM showroom in the early 1920's. The building is now home to August Mack Environmental.

These building, which once were a part of a thriving manufacturing center are being revitalized and modernized for new use. The impact of these projects on the city and the potential revenue through increased property values and expanding tax base will serve as a catalyst for future growth opportunities. It is clear we are leaving our mark in our neighborhood, but isn't that what being a good neighbor is all about?

Indianapolis - A $7.5 million renovation of a historic 1920s Buick auto showroom at 1302 N. Meridian St. will turn the three-story building into leasable office space.

Indianapolis contractor Shiel Sexton said it will renovate the 54,000-square-foot building in the next three months by restoring windows, rehabbing the interior and installing new electrical, mechanical and plumbing systems.

August Mack Environmental will be the first tenant, relocating its offices into the third floor from a nearby building, said Colliers Turley Martin Tucker, the leasing agent. The building most recently was used by Extra Space Storage.

The building is owned by a newly formed partnership whose manager is Richard E. "Buddy" Hennessey, executive vice president of Shiel Sexton.
