Industrial real estate investment activity continues to concentrate around key logistics corridors in the Midwest, where proximity to interstate networks and major freight hubs remains a primary driver of asset value. That trend is reflected in a new acquisition by The Missner Group, which has expanded its industrial holdings through the purchase of more than 840,000 square feet of Class A logistics properties in Indiana.
The transaction, completed in partnership with Wylie Capital, includes three industrial facilities located in Merrillville and Whitestown. The portfolio consists of both multi-building and newly constructed assets positioned along major distribution routes connecting Chicago, Indianapolis, and broader national supply chains.
With this acquisition, The Missner Group significantly increases its footprint in the region, nearly doubling its industrial holdings to more than 2 million square feet. The expansion underscores continued investor confidence in stabilized, fully leased logistics assets in secondary Midwest markets that offer strong transportation access and tenant demand.
The Merrillville properties, built in the early 2020s, are fully leased to multiple tenants and are located near Interstate 65 and the I-80/I-94 corridor, providing connectivity to Chicago and surrounding distribution hubs. Meanwhile, the Whitestown facility, completed in 2023, is a modern logistics building designed for multi-tenant flexibility and positioned near Indianapolis International Airport, a major cargo hub supporting national freight operations.
For construction owners and developers, transactions like this highlight ongoing capital movement toward institutional-grade industrial assets, particularly in markets where new construction is limited but demand remains strong. These properties often feature modern specifications such as higher clear heights, increased trailer parking capacity, and enhanced loading infrastructure—features that directly support e-commerce and regional distribution operations.
From a broader market perspective, industrial real estate continues to outperform many other commercial sectors due to sustained demand for warehouse and logistics space, especially in centrally located states that provide efficient access to both coasts. Midwest markets like Indiana continue to benefit from tenant migration driven by operating cost advantages, transportation access, and regional labor availability.
As investors pursue stabilized, income-producing assets, portfolios such as this one reflect a wider strategy of scaling in logistics corridors where infrastructure, highway connectivity, and proximity to intermodal hubs align with long-term supply chain efficiency goals.
