“As an Indiana-based company, it’s always deeply rewarding to develop in our own backyard," said Ryan Clark, Senior Vice President of Development for The Annex Group. "With Central at Old Southside, we are transforming an underutilized infill site into an amenity-rich community. We’re excited to bring high-quality workforce housing to this neighborhood and help fuel the continued growth of the Old Southside area, with great connectivity to downtown Indianapolis and surrounding neighborhoods like Bates-Hendricks and Fountain Square."

Amenities for Central at Old Southside will include a community center, fitness center, business center, dog park, garden area, playground and picnic area.

“We know the need for affordable housing remains strong even as developers and neighbors come together to create more housing in and around the city,” said Kyle Bach, CEO for The Annex Group. “We’re thrilled to bring new construction housing to our hometown that will offer two four-story buildings with elevators and plenty of outdoor and indoor amenities like modern, functional kitchens and in-unit washers and dryers. This community has been designed to enhance the neighborhood and feel like a special place to call home for residents. As development progresses, we’re proud to engage with and offer opportunities for career advancement to people living in surrounding neighborhoods as well.”

The Annex Group’s partnership with the McKenzie Center for Innovation and Technology will create hands-on learning and career development opportunities for local people through Annex University, an initiative launched earlier this year that provides access to experiential training, applied learning and professional development opportunities for individuals seeking to improve their lives through stable employment and long-term career growth.

​​​​Additional partners on the project include BVH Architecture (architect), CEC (civil engineer) and Impact Housing Indiana, Corp., an organization dedicated to supporting residents of affordable housing communities within The Annex Group’s portfolio.

This will be The Annex Group’s third community in Indianapolis.
