We think beyond space
Whether simple or complex, Cresa Indianapolis helps companies build and implement real estate strategies that align with and are complimentary to their operational needs and goals, typically resulting in cost savings of 10-20% or more. Having completed some of the largest and most complex projects in Indianapolis and across the country, we have consistently been recognized as one of the top brokers in the area.

Real estate is typically the second or third largest expense for most companies – therefore it can significantly impact their success. Unfortunately, most real estate transactions are an “operational” function and often reactive in nature. Our role is to assist our clients with each phase – strategic, tactical, and operational planning – in order to set out a plan that is proactive and achievable. In turn, our clients realize increased flexibility and operating efficiencies, reduced risk, and better opportunities to grow revenues and generate profits.
While other commercial real estate firms represent both landlords and tenants, Cresa Indianapolis represents only tenants and companies who own and use real estate. We do not represent any third party owners. By only representing users of real estate, Cresa Indianapolis uses its proven expertise to serve its clients while eliminating the conflict of interest present in full service brokerage firms.
Our specialized approach not only eliminates a conflict of interest, it also makes us better at what we do because it is all we do. By representing users only, we have an unbiased and objective point of view. We are subject matter experts focused on providing exceptional client experiences.
Cresa Indianapolis serves occupiers of office, medical, industrial, and retail space locally and nationally, assisting in the acquisition and disposition of real estate. We do so with a commitment to retaining strong values, maintaining a positive corporate culture, and a dedication to serving the communities we touch.
