We are so ecstatic to share this issue of the Indianapolis Business Journal covering Box Factory and The North Mass District which was published late last month.

The North Mass District is located just Northeast of downtown Indianapolis and situated between the Monon Trail, the I-70/I-65 split and the bustling Mass Ave/Brookside Corridor. Within North Mass, the Box Factory delivers over 135,000 square feet of office, recreation and restaurant space. The Box Factory campus includes on-site parking, greenspace, as well as 20+ acres for redevelopment.

Stenz Corporation has been captivated with Massachusetts Avenue and its potential for redevelopment for the past 50 years.  Our fascination started back in the Seventies, when we made the decision to renovate a ramshackle building which was once the home of Iva’s Wishing Well Tavern. This historic triangular building was located at the beginning of Mass Ave. near the heart of downtown. When we moved our offices into the building, we were called trail blazers.

That title suits us just fine.  To this day, we diligently search for up-and-coming trends and endeavor to stay ahead of them.  As stated by Beau Ansty, the President of Stenz, “We really feel like the epicenter of downtown is shifting out to the northeast along Mass. Avenue.” Subsequently, Stenz Corporation is investing, developing, building and moving there.

By October, our Headquarters will be in the Box Factory. In essence, we are moving full circle, from one end of Mass Ave. to the other end.  This, however, is not a story about endings, it is a story about new beginnings, not only for the North Mass Ave District but for Stenz Corporation as well.

Stenz Corporation is a full-service general contractor, construction manager and real-estate services firm.

Sometimes you have to see the before to really app Sometimes you have to see the before to really appreciate the after. 

Basement at 429 N Pennsylvania was serving full-on 90s nostalgia—from the dated floors and lighting to the floor-to-ceiling mirror.

The glow-up was refreshingly simple: fresh paint, new lighting, new floors, and some wall coverings. That’s it. And suddenly, we’re in the present day.

Progress at 21st & Central 🏡 We’re building 21Fl Progress at 21st & Central 🏡 

We’re building 21Flats — transforming an older structure into 17 homes for foster youth aging out of care, complete with on-site support services.
Here’s where things stand:

 ✨ In-wall and drywall are wrapping up
 ✨ Finishes are about to begin
 ✨ New exterior siding and trim are nearly complete and ready for paint

Each unit includes a private kitchen and restroom, and the building will also feature a community kitchen, laundry room, bike room, and gathering space — designed to support both independence and connection.

Owned and operated by Firefly Children and Family Alliance, this project is moving closer to becoming a place of stability, dignity, and new beginnings.

While these may not be the largest projects happen While these may not be the largest projects happening in Indy, we believe the projects that quietly serve people, neighborhoods, and daily life often add up to the greatest impact. 

Right now, we have 14 projects under construction in downtown Indy—each one contributing in its own way to the city’s momentum.

📍 14 Pins on the Downtown Map:

Early Learning Indiana
Emergency Homeless Shelter
Department of Child Services
550 N Meridian Spec Suite
Foster Success

1255 Roosevelt Ave.
Firefly Children & Family Alliance

Individually, these projects may seem modest. Together, they strengthen communities, support families, and help shape a downtown that works for everyone.

Grateful for the partners and teams helping bring each of these to life—one project at a time.

Successful projects don’t happen by accident — the Successful projects don’t happen by accident — they start with alignment. 💡

When the Project Manager and Field Superintendent review drawings together, planning meets execution. These early conversations help catch conflicts, confirm sequencing, and ensure the design is ready to be built before crews ever step on site.

Pictured here: Donna Tarr and John Frain. They’ve led numerous successful projects together and have spent the last two years partnering on the Indianapolis Central Library as Project Manager and Superintendent. That continuity matters. When leadership stays consistent, communication is stronger, decisions are clearer, and the entire project benefits.
Strong teams are built on shared understanding — from day one to closeout. 🏗️📐

From a humble woodshop in Broad Ripple to the Box From a humble woodshop in Broad Ripple to the Box Factory downtown 🛠️🏙️

For 50+ years, we’ve built and cared for buildings that hold stories, memories, and communities.

Looking back fills us with gratitude. Looking forward fills us with excitement.

Here’s to what’s next—and to building it together.
