Pendleton approves $14 million complex
Westfield-based developer Klipsch-Card Athletic Facilities LLC has received approval to build a $14 million sports and health center in Pendleton, town officials announced.
The Pendleton council approved the project, along with a $3.2 million incentive package to help encourage the development.
The 115,000-square-foot building will include space for eight tennis courts, gymnastics, weight training, yoga and wellness. A café and day care facilities also are part of the plan.
The incentive package, according to the Pendleton Times-Post, includes 25 acres of donated land from the town, $1 million for construction costs, and $1.45 million paid in 180 monthly installments of about $8,000 each.
Another speculative building planned
Philadelphia-based Exeter Property Group has announced it’s developing land on the west side of Interstate 65 at Highway 267 for a huge industrial building in the Whitestown Business Park.
Indianapolis-based GDI Construction Group is slated to build the roughly 635,000-square-foot facility, which could later be expanded to more than 1 million square feet. Construction is expected to be completed in December. Exeter, who will be the building’s owner, hopes to have a tenant for the facility by then.
The building is part of Exeter’s Whitestown Business Park project. Overall, its plans to eventually build 1.74 million square feet at the location for a total investment of $45.6 million.
