INDIANAPOLIS (February 18, 2026) – The Annex Group®, a leading impact housing developer that creates affordable, workforce and purpose-built student housing communities, announces today it has been named to the 2026 Best Places to Work in Indiana list. This is the 21st edition of the program from the Indiana Chamber of Commerce.
“We aim to deliver housing that creates a positive impact on its residents and communities but being able to do that work while also creating a positive place for our team members to thrive is meaningful,” said Kyle Bach, CEO of The Annex Group. “Within the last year, we have invested in our team in many ways. Moving to a new office in Fishers with a social hub, wellness room, on-site IT, height-adjustable working stations, fitness center, walking trails, balcony community center and outdoor areas for grilling has been the most notable move. Another notable add is our Employee Assistance Program (EAP) to offer more robust support for stress, anxiety, depression, financial and legal outreach. These additions reflect the value we place on our team members, and this accolade is a nice indicator that the team is in full support.”
Companies from across the state entered the two-part survey process to determine the Best Places to Work in Indiana list. Each nominated company's workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems and demographics were ranked along with overall employee experience. The combined scores determine the top companies and final rankings. Workforce Research Group managed the overall registration and survey process in Indiana, analyzed the data, and determined the honorees and rankings.
“The Best Places to Work program is a great way for organizations to take the temperature of their culture and how it’s resonating with today’s workers,” says Indiana Chamber President and CEO Vanessa Green Sinders. “We salute each of this year’s winners for their commitment to displaying best practices in their workplaces, which are enabling them to attract and retain employees, as well as drive increased productivity and overall success.”
This recognition is The Annex Group’s first award win of 2026. In 2025, The Annex Group was recognized across multiple industry rankings and award programs, including NMHC’s Top 25 Developers; MHN’s Top Multifamily Developers (No. 26); the AHF 50 (No. 11); and the Indianapolis Business Journal’s Commercial Developers list (No. 12). The company was also a finalist in two categories in the Midwest Real Estate Awards.
