Indy Realtor's Blog: Zionsville Real Estate

Local home builder Hansen and Horn has been selected as THE home builder for the much anticipated Anson project located just outside of Zionsville Indiana.  Prices, floor plans, and all the details have not been released yet, but the initial phase of the residential development will include 168 homes with the whole project slated for 680 homes over 8 – 10 years.

Brenwick Development, most known locally for their massive West Clay project, is seeking to annex 115 acres on the Northwest corner of Eagle Township along County Road 875 for an area of new high end custom homes.   Brenwick wants to build 166 high end custom homes that would average more than $600,000 each; however they are being met with opposition from neighbors declaring that the new project would ruin their country feel.

On the heels of Medco’s big announcement to locate their mega warehouse in the Anson project, Amazon.com has recently announced that they will also add a distribution facility to the project and become the project’s newest tenant.  Amazon’s new distribution center promises to employ 1,200 workers at an average wage of $12.50 per hour and will surely galvanize the Anson project and induce more and more tenants into the area. 

Both Amazon and Medco are big catches in an effort to really get Anson off the ground.  Although the major building hasn’t even occurred yet, CVS has opened a pharmacy and both Meijer and Lowes have agreed to occupy the site as major anchors of the Anson project.  The new Amazon announcement should accelerate the growth and make it…
