The new developments would be bordered by Wayne, Harrison, Berry, and Webster streets and utilize nearly a full square block.<\/p>\n<p>The City of Fort Wayne has signed a memorandum of understanding with Ash Brokerage and Hanning &amp; Bean Enterprises for the two major projects. <\/p>\n<p>Ash Brokerage plans to build its corporate headquarters in downtown with 95,000 square feet of office space. The project would also include a parking garage and 21,600 square feet of first-floor retail space. More than 200 employees would be part of Ash&#8217;s move to downtown. Ash also anticipates increasing its local workforce with 115 additional jobs by 2017. The average wage is $60,000 plus benefits. Ash&#8217;s investment would be $19.6 million.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At Ash Brokerage, we&#8217;re all about creating opportunity for our partners, our employees and our communities,&#8221; said Tim Ash, Ash Brokerage President &amp; CEO. &#8220;We believe in Fort Wayne, and our decision to build our national headquarters downtown is a grand slam for all of us. We&#8217;re creating and retaining great jobs right here in a growing industry sector. We&#8217;re bringing private investment into the heart of our hometown. We flipped the switch for more business, housing and retail options through our partnership with Hanning &amp; Bean, the City of Fort Wayne and the State of Indiana. And best of all, we&#8217;re sending a mighty signal that this is an outstanding place to do business &#8211; a wonderful place to live, work and play.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hanning &amp; Bean Enterprises plans to construct a residential development, including apartments, condominiums, and street-front townhouses. The development would total 80 apartments (94,000 square feet), 10-14 condominiums (26,000 square feet), and six street-front townhouses (13,500 square feet). There would also be a rooftop park\/green space on top of the parking garage. Hanning &amp; Bean&#8217;s investment would be $32 million. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re in a great environment for growth and redevelopment in downtown,&#8221; said Bill Bean, VP, Hanning &amp; Bean Enterprises. &#8220;We&#8217;ve been investing for some time in downtown and see this project as an opportunity to continue that commitment. Housing units are a key ingredient in providing the three main components of a vibrant downtown &#8211; live, work and play. We look forward to partnering with Ash Brokerage, the City of Fort Wayne and the State of Indiana. This initiative demonstrates our commitment to revitalizing the city&#8217;s skyline and continuing to invest in downtown.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re seeing unprecedented positive momentum in downtown. The heart of our City has become a destination place for business growth, housing, and entertainment,&#8221; said Mayor Henry. &#8220;Ash Brokerage and Hanning &amp; Bean Enterprises are demonstrating a strong commitment to our community with this substantial investment. Proactive efforts to attract opportunities to downtown have positioned us for success.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The total public-private partnerships would result in $51.6 million in private dollars and $19.5 million being invested by the City of Fort Wayne. It&#8217;s anticipated construction would begin in March 2014 and take nearly two years to complete.<\/p>\n<p>The City would provide an incentive package to the development that consists of land acquisition, site preparation, tax abatement and participation in the construction and operation of the parking garage.<\/p>\n<p>Commitments by Ash and Hanning &amp; Bean complement the City&#8217;s Downtown Blueprint and BlueprintPLUS plans to have a thriving downtown with a corporate headquarters, housing, retail, and entertainment. <\/p>\n<p>These projects would serve a growing downtown that includes recent success stories such as Parkview Field, The Harrison, Courtyard by Marriott, the Anthony Wayne Condominiums, and the Randall Lofts.  <\/p>\n<p>In addition, Greater Fort Wayne Inc. and the Downtown Trust have been integral partners in bringing the new developments to downtown.  <\/p>\n<p>A timeline for necessary approvals from the Fort Wayne Redevelopment Commission and Fort Wayne City Council will be finalized in the coming weeks.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_1_placeholder\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_2_placeholder\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_3_placeholder\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_4_placeholder\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_5_placeholder\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71709.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Mayor Tom Henry announces call for referendum vote on the gaming issue during a press conference on February 27, 2009.\"\n\t\t\tclass='thickbox' rel='09ac948f33b2bdc9f708bc6cf983820a' data-image-id=\"199\" data-src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71709.jpg\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/thumbs\/thumbs_71709.jpg\" data-title=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\" data-description=\"Mayor Tom Henry announces call for referendum vote on the gaming issue during a press conference on February 27, 2009.\">\n\t\t\t<img title=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"199\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/thumbs\/thumbs_71709.jpg\"\/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71710.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Mayor Tom Henry shakes hands with Allen County Councilman Paul Moss after the press conference announcing his decision to seek a referendum vote on the gaming issue.
