Milhaus starts its third year

It's hard to believe that Milhaus has entered its third year today. The last couple of years have zipped by and we have been pushing hard into a lot of areas and with a lot of new projects. We settled into our office at the Maxwell in March and now feel at home on the east edge of downtown Indianapolis. Penn Circle Apartments in Carmel, IN started construction in November and should have units available this upcoming Summer. We purchased University Square in Muncie, IN and continue to enhance its significance to Ball State University. We've also recently been selected to work with the City of Michigan City, IN on the redevelopment of two downtown blocks. Look for more information on that project in the coming months. In Indianapolis we received city approvals for the Mozzo to begin construction this Spring. We're working on further growing our portfolio there with the redevelopment of the former Renaissance Bay community near Keystone at the Crossing in 2012. Finally, we have entered the Houston market and are working on a project to be announced there in the next few months.
