This balanced occupancy allows investors to benefit from in-place income while pursuing upside through re-tenanting, subdividing utilities, or building out speculative office suites for smaller industrial users.
Repositioning Potential
The building’s layout and mechanical systems provide multiple paths for value creation:
Gate and pave side driveway for outdoor storage or trailer parking (20’ × 148’).
Utilize crane bay or remove mezzanine to optimize warehouse usability.
Strong demand in the 10,000–25,000 SF range across the Airport submarket supports achievable lease-up within 6–12 months.
Strategic Location
Positioned less than 5 minutes from Indianapolis International Airport and the FedEx Express World Hub—the second-largest in the U.S.—6352 Airway Drive lies at the intersection of industrial efficiency and logistics infrastructure. The site offers direct access to I-70 and I-465, connecting seamlessly to downtown Indianapolis (10 miles), Louisville (119 miles), and Chicago (183 miles).
This submarket is home to national occupiers including FedEx, Amazon, UPS, XPO Logistics, Caterpillar, and Expeditors, driven by ongoing e-commerce, aerospace, and advanced manufacturing growth. Over 8.4 million SF of new industrial product was delivered from 2016–2021, with another 5 million SF planned or under construction as of 2025.
Market Context
The Indianapolis industrial market continues to outperform national peers due to its central location, multimodal connectivity, and lower occupancy costs. As of Q2 2025:
Metro-wide vacancy averages 10–11%, with tight conditions in small-bay assets (50,000 SF).
Quarterly leasing activity exceeds 5.5M SF, supported by strong absorption.
Speculative construction has dropped from 39M SF in 2022 to under 5M SF in 2025, improving fundamentals for infill product like Airway Drive.
Industrial users in Plainfield, AmeriPlex, and the Airport Business Centre continue to expand, pushing rents upward for smaller second-generation assets.
Investment Highlights
Value-Add Opportunity: Lease-up ±19,384 SF of functional vacancy.
In-Place Cash Flow: Long-term NNN tenant covers the majority of expenses.
Owner-User Flexibility: Option to occupy ±19,000 SF while collecting rent from existing tenant.
Functional Design: Mix of warehouse, flex, and two-story office space with modern mechanical systems.
Prime Location: Immediate airport access and proximity to I-70/I-465 interchanges.
Strong Industrial Fundamentals: Limited small-bay supply, robust user demand, and steady rent growth.
Summary
6352 Airway Drive is a well-located, flexible light industrial facility offering immediate upside for both investors and users. Its existing tenant provides stable income while the remaining space enables future value creation through lease-up or conversion. Positioned within Indianapolis’ most active logistics corridor and surrounded by institutional-grade developments, this asset stands out as one of the most functional mid-size industrial offerings available in the Airport submarket.
