American Place Trade Area & Sales Potential Analysis
Indianapolis, IN MSA
I. Executive Summary
v The purpose of this report is to assess the potential of the retail component of
American Place on the near west side of the Indianapolis, IN metropolitan area.
v The proposed location would be a new development project at the Sam Jones
Expressway exit & I-465 on the west side of Indianapolis, IN.
v American Place is planned to include a boutique hotel, casino, theater, multiscreen cinema, lifestyle-type retail and residential components.
v Indianapolis is the capital of the state of Indiana and is centrally located within the
state with a population approaching 2.0 million. This makes it the largest
metropolitan area in the state and on par with other regional metropolitan areas
like Cincinnati, Cleveland and Columbus, Ohio.
v Within Indianapolis, fashion/lifestyle retailing is sectioned off into 6 submarkets:
o North – This is the strongest submarket, covering the north side of Marion
County and Hamilton County.
§ There are four major fashion/lifestyle shopping centers: Fashion
Mall at Keystone (Nordstrom & Saks Fifth Avenue), Castleton
Square (Macy’s & Von Maur), Clay Terrace, and Hamilton Town
Center.
§ There are also five fashion department stores within this
geographic area – Saks Fifth Avenue, Nordstrom, Von Maur, and
two Macy’s.
o South – With Greenwood Park Mall straddling the Marion-Johnson
County line, this is the second strongest submarket.
§ The Greenwood Park Mall (Macy’s & Von Maur and Macy’s).
o West – with the decline of the Lafayette Square, The Shops at Perry
Crossing has risen as the only quasi-fashion center on the west side of the
Indianapolis region. This is an open-air lifestyle center that offers no
regional access and is not well-leased.
o East – like Lafayette Square on the west side, Washington Square on the
east side of Indianapolis has also fallen dramatically and is really more of
a power center at this point.
o Downtown Indianapolis – offers a rather strong downtown business
district with a major urban mall in Circle Centre (Carson’s). Already
located Downtown are such well-known eating & drinking establishments
as: Bourbon Street Distillery, Buca di Beppo, Capital Grill, Hard Rock
Café, Harry & Izzy’s, Morton’s Steakhouse, Prime 47, Rock bottom
Brewery, St. Elmo’s Steakhouse and Weber Grill & Bar.
o Anderson – The Mounds Mall (Carson’s) offers a very weak small-tenant
line-up and offers no real competition.

v Comparatively, when examined against other regional markets as St. Louis,
Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Kansas City, Columbus, Nashville, Milwaukee,
Louisville and Hartford the Indianapolis market is just about the norm of these
others in terms of population, income (per capita, average household, and median
household), and affluent target households.
v When one examines the specific retailers that might be attracted to either enter the
Indianapolis market, or add an additional units to their existing store location
network, a rather impressive list is generated. In order to be placed on this list, a
retailer had to either (a) be present in at least two of the three analog markets and
not yet in Indianapolis, or, (b) have an existing unit within the subject MSA but
also indicate the potential for the addition of another metro-wide unit.

v Because of the competitive forces found in the North, South and Downtown
submarkets, the primary retail trade area (shaded in green on the map presented
on the following page) for the proposed American Place is projected to be
confined primarily to the Western Indianapolis submarket areas.

v Beyond this primary retail trade area, a secondary trade area has also been
delineated that takes into account the enhanced attraction that this facility will
generate due to its overall focus on entertainment, major events and gaming.
American Place – Projected Primary Retail & Secondary Trade Areas
v The broad reach of the primary retail trade area will enable American Place to
reach a population equivalent to nearly 25.0 percent of the total metropolitan area
– with the secondary trade area extending this geographic reach throughout the
central and west-central portions of the state.
v The total 2015 primary retail trade area was estimated to be home to a resident
population of approximately 488,200 persons. The secondary trade area adds
another 1.3+ million persons to this total.
v This population is estimated to have increased at a pace that exceeded the metrowide norm over the period 2000 through 2015 – at 22.5 vs. 18.7 percent.

v Per Capita Incomes here are only slightly lower ($26,258 vs. $28,410) than the
metropolitan area but are above the state average.
v Using our database of nearly 1,800 shopping centers located throughout the
nation, a list of five (5) that are considered to be the most comparable lifestyletype venues were selected.

v Understanding that the subject location provides potential tenants with essentially
equal surrounding market support as is enjoyed at these five analog locations
brings one to the issue of what tenants might be anticipated to occupy space at
this location. In order to provide some level of guidance to this question, tenant
data were collected for each of the five analog properties.
v From the above information, the following observations are provided in regards to
the overall tenant/merchandise mix at these properties:
Ø The average overall GLA of these retail/dining/entertainment venues
comes in at approximately 525,000 square feet – ranging from the smallest
(ABQ Uptown) at 220,000 square feet to the largest (The Greene) at
800,000 square feet.
Ø Of these five properties, two are anchored by fashion department stores –
those being The Greene (Von Muar) and Uptown Village at Cedar Hill
(Dillard’s). Of these two, Dillard’s (estimated at approximately $27.5
million) at Cedar Hill far out-produces Von Muar at The Greene (+/-$17.5
million).
Ø With the average total number of tenants at nearly forty-six (45.8), and
these retailers, restaurants and entertainment tenants falling primarily
-5January 2016

within the B, C, D & E-classifications of tenants, it seems fair to suggest
that the overall merchandise mix could be described as Moderate to
slightly above Moderate.
Ø Finally, one very real advantage that looks to be apparent when
considering the American Place location is that it is located further from
its nearest mall competitor (Circle Centre in Downtown Indianapolis is
8.00 miles straight-line distance) than is typical for these other analog
properties – which come in at an average distance of approximately 4.30
miles.
v Seeing that only two of the five analog properties are anchored by fashion
department stores begs the questions as to what types of other major tenants are
included in the tenant mix at these centers to help create the necessary critical
mass to attract both small shop tenant retailers as well as consumers. What was
found was that there is quite a variety of mid-sized boxes to work on recruiting to
American Place. On average, there are nearly five (4.8) of these retailers at the
analog centers.

v Of those identified, it becomes rather apparent that several specific
sectors/retailers should be targeted quite seriously:
Ø A Multi-screen cinema (located at The Greene, Saucon Valley and
Eastwood) is likely first among this list as they not only attract consumers
on evenings and weekends but are also a favored co-tenant for full0service
restaurants. On the entertainment side of the equation, another use that
might be worth consideration could be a comedy club such as Funny
Bones that has been quite successful at The Greene (Dayton, OH).
-6January 2016

Ø A large-format bookstore was identified in four of the five centers (Barnes
& Noble in two, with Books & Co. and Schuler’s Books & Music in one
each) and they are well-regarded by both cinema’s and restaurants as a cotenant.
Ø A larger apparel offering is another retail type that is worthy of serious
recruitment efforts. Within this sector the more common players include
Forever 21, H&M and Old Navy. Retailers newer to inclusion in these
types of properties are LL Bean and Nordstrom RACK.
Ø Another retail sector that should be mentioned within this grouping of
mid-sized boxes is the home-oriented retail group. Within the tenant
rosters that were included in this analysis the two that were seen were
Ethan Allen and Pier 1. However, although not technically mid-sized
boxes, retailers such as Pottery Barn and Williams-Sonoma could also be
included as smaller space users within this sector. In addition, other larger
space users within this sector might be Arhaus, Container Store, Crate &
Barrel and Restoration Hardware.
Ø Finally, yet another use that looks to provide added consumer satisfaction,
as well as strong co-tenancy, is a specialty grocery operator – such as The
Fresh Market or Trader Joe’s.
v The importance of the entertainment component, in regards to the tourist
component of retail that is associated with either adjacent or a nearby casino as
American Place will be, can’t be overstated.
v In the case of the four tourist/destination casinos that were examined in several
previous analyses undertaken by our group, whether looking at spas, multi-screen
cinemas, nightclubs or blowing alleys, these have all become common amenities
within today’s casino landscape.
Ø Within the bowling concept realm, two potential players that come to
mind as distinct possibilities might be Lucky Strikes and Pin Stripes.
Ø When considering cinemas, those that are of the cine bistro-type format
might prove of higher priority as they would match up well with the
adjacent casino/tourist consumer traffic.

v As can be seen from this information, there are only two (Bar Louie and
Bravo!/BRIO) that have been identified in at least two of the analog properties,
suggesting more regionality in the leasing within this sector. However, national
brands remain critical as such players as Fleming’s Wine Bar & Steakhouse,
McCormick & Schmick’s and P.F. Chang’s, etc. have all been identified.
v Also of note is the inclusion of fast-casual players such as California Pizza
Kitchen and Red Robin within this list, as well as a wide selection of pub-type
operators – e.g. Claddagh Irish Pub, Elephant Bar and the Pub.
v In today’s leasing world, it has become understood that a collection of four to six
full-service restaurants and bars can provide as much, or more, consumer traffic
than a traditional fashion department store. For example, while it is estimated that
while it is estimated that Von Muar generates in the range of $17.5 million ($145
per square foot out of their 120,000 square foot box) at The Greene, based on data
that we have been able to collect from various contacts, the estimated combined
sales at this property for Bar Louie, BRIO, Cheesecake Factory, Fleming’s and

McCormick & Schmick, come in at approximately $22.5 million, or, over $550
per square foot out of just over 40,000 square feet.
v With a collection of mid-sized anchors, full-service restaurants & pubs and
entertainment venues that come close to approximating the composite created
from the five analog properties, these analog properties also provide a list of
forty-six (46) retailers that show up in at least two of the five analog centers and,
therefore, provide guidance as to what might be anticipated as a merchandise
offering at American Place.

the selectivity levels of retailers in where they (a) locate and (b) what
other retailers they prefer to have as co-tenants. A full discussion of
the methodology used in this analysis is provided in the Appendix.
v On a very positive note, from a prospective tenant perspective, is the fact that of
the retailers listed in the above table – when cross-referenced with the results of
the MSA-wide retail tenant analog analysis results from Table 24 – it was found
that twenty (20) were identified as being both one unit or more short of
anticipated metro-wide coverage an well as being found on at least two of the five
specific analog properties tenant rosters.

v With the analysis that has been completed, as well as the data that has been
collected, it has been determined that the American Place location provides very
real potential for the development of a lifestyle-type retail/dining/entertainment
venue as a component of its overall master plan – which is to also include a major
casino facility as well as residential and hospitality offerings.

v When considering the overall sales productivity potential for this development
site – from a small shop specialty tenant perspective – it has been calculated that
should the developer be successful in attracting a similar line-up of tenants as has
been outlined in this analysis, a sales potential level of approximately $410 per
square foot is projected as a 1st Full-Year figure.

v In terms of small shop tenancy and merchandise offerings in these properties –
looking at the full-price centers listed above (The District at Green Valley Ranch,
Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun) – it was found that the average number of national
and large regional specialty tenants came in at twenty-six (26), ranging from a
low of eighteen (18) at Mohegan Sun – which also houses a 300,000 square foot
outlet center – to thirty-nine (39) at The District at Green Valley Ranch.
v The retail sectors that appear the most often include apparel (Activa, American
Eagle Outfitters, Anthropologie, Chico’s, Columbia Sportswear, DownEast

Pottery Barn, West Elm and Williams-Sonoma. Finally, full-service national
chain restaurants are clearly an integral part of the offering at these properties,
with the likes of Johnny Rockets, King’s Fish House, P.F. Chang’s and The
Cheesecake Factory, having been identified.
v When cross-referenced against the retailers that have been identified as being
potential candidates for American Place, through the metropolitan area and analog

III. Market Overview
3.1 Population
The eleven county Indianapolis metropolitan statistical area (MSA) is centrally located
within the state of Indiana. As the state capital, it is well-connected with the rest of the
region by a radial network of interstate highways. The location of American Place is in
western part of Marion County close to the Hendricks County line. Marion County is the
core of the Indianapolis MSA and encompasses all of the City of Indianapolis.
In terms of population, adjacent Hendricks County is the third most populous within the
MSA, with just under 153,000 residents (Table 1). Marion County is the most populated
with 936,000 inhabitants while Hamilton County (north/northeast of Marion) is second
with nearly 300,000.

The western counties (Hendricks, Morgan and Boone) combined for a total population of
approximately 285,000 for 2015, with that figure projected to exceed just over 300,000
during 2020. Both Hendricks and Morgan counties have shown strong population growth
since Census 2000 as well as being projected to continue that trend through 2020.
Morgan County has had the highest annual growth for 2010 through 2015 (at 2.35
percent) and is projected to continue to have the highest annual growth through 2020 –
with its annual growth projected to equal 2.13 percent per year.
Overall population growth in the Indianapolis MSA has been fairly steady since 2000
(Table 2). The total population in 2014 was nearly 2.0 million people, a little over
300,000 more than at year-end 2000 – representing an 18.9 percent total increase over the
Census of 2000. The majority of this growth has been fueled by Indianapolis’ natural
increase (Births - Deaths). However, being the economic and governmental hub of

Indiana, the region has also able to maintain steady inflows of domestic (migration) and
international (immigration) persons over that time. Net Domestic Migration has been
consistently positive throughout this time period. International Immigration has also
brought in close to 4,000 in each of the past four years.

The nearly 2.0 million residents of Indianapolis easily make it the largest metropolitan
area within the state as well as a strong economic center within the greater region (Table
3). While Chicago dwarfs all the other metropolitan areas in this region, Indianapolis sits
nicely among other solid middle markets such as: St. Louis, Cincinnati, Columbus and
Louisville. Furthermore, with the exception of Columbus, Indianapolis is growing at a
faster rate than all of the other metropolitan areas. Looking forward to 2020, Indianapolis
is projected to see its population increase by an additional 0.9 percent per year – pushing
it to over 2.0 million persons.

3.2 Single-Family Residential Building Permit Activity
As had occurred throughout the country, the Indianapolis single-family residential
construction market plummeted from its peak in 2005 (Table 4). Prior to this plunge,
there were six strong years of growth from 2000 through 2005. The number of permits
filed annually, during this earlier period, remained relatively steady averaging over
13,000 per year. By 2009, there were nearly 10,000 fewer than that average. Production
has rebounded slightly, averaging around 5,000 over the past two years. Of course, this
trend has not been local to only Indianapolis. Indiana and the United States as a whole
have experienced the very same decline and gradual recovery.
The average construction cost for these proposed homes within Indianapolis rose
gradually from 2000 through 2007. There was a minor setback from 2008 through 2010.
Pricing picked up substantially from the year 2012 onward, with the average cost in 2014
reaching a level that was some 30.0 percent higher than that in 2007.

Within this overall single-family residential development landscape, it has
been found that the Hendricks County portion of the metropolitan area has
maintained a relatively stable market share of the permits issued annually
throughout the period of study – ranging from a low of 11.4 percent (2001)
to a high of 16.8 percent (2009) – and averaging 14.2 percent (Table 5).
From a product pricing perspective, it appears that this part of the
metropolitan area has continued to offer consumers a slightly better-priced
alternative to metro-wide norms throughout the period 2000 through 2014,
with having been only one year (2010) in which the average value of singlefamily permits exceeded the metro-wide norm.

3.3 Employment
Along with a total population growth of almost 300,000 inhabitants since the year 2000,
the total employed population has also grown by 80,000 (Table 9). In 2000, the total
employed population of Indianapolis stood at 856,000 with an unemployment rate of only
2.6 percent. The total employment grew steadily through 2008. With the coming of the
recession, Indianapolis lost about 6.6 percent of its employed population by 2010. The
unemployment rate also peaked at 9.6 percent in 2010. Fortunately, things looked much
brighter by 2014 with total employment rising by more than 77,000 to an all-time high of
936.347 and employment dropping back to 5.7 percent, well below the national rate of
6.2 percent.

As was presented when offering information on the regions single-family residential
landscape, employment data were broken down to the Hendricks County level as well –
in order to determine if this geographic portion of the metropolitan area has evolved over
time as more than just a bedroom community and into an area that also is home to a
growing percentage of metro-wide employment. From the above data that is indeed what
appears to have occurred, with Hendricks County’s share of metro-wide employment
having grown form 6.6 percent in 2000 to the latest year-end figure of 8.2 percent – an
increase in its share of employment of 24.5 percent. This growth in employment has
right in-line with the county’s population growth/share level, which grew from 6.3 to 7.9
percent, or, 26.1 percent of overall metro-wide population.
Table 10 provides the historical employment data for Morgan and Boone Counties. The
three western counties compare well from an unemployment rate standpoint versus the
MSA. Both Hendricks and Boone have been consistently better than the MSA since the
year 2000.

3.4 Indianapolis Retail Landscape
According to the most recent quarterly report published by the local office of CBRE, the
Indianapolis retail market presents the following summary characteristics:
Ø Demand remains strong for newer properties within the metropolitan regions
major trade areas, while older buildings in less desirable areas keep overall
market fundamentals in check,
Ø The market-wide availability rate declined by an impressive 140 basis points from
the previous quarter as a result of robust leasing activity. There is some level of
caution as speculative building – although less than in the past cycle – continues
to elevate vacancy rates.
Ø Geographically, several sub-markets have vacancy levels that have dropped below
4.0 percent. These include Fishers, Noblesville and Greenwood.
Ø Net absorption increased slightly to almost 190,000 square feet during this past
quarter, which is nearly double the five-year quarterly average.
Ø Among product types, lifestyle centers and malls (which this report will analyze
in detail) posted a decline of almost 30 basis points while power, neighborhood,
community and strip centers remained relatively unchanged (Table 11).

footage under construction fell slightly to in the range of 350,000 square feet.

Ø Sales of existing retail properties increased in terms of the number of deals and
square footage; however, the average price per square foot fell as fewer deals
were focused on credit tenant net leased assets.
Geographic Sub-Market Summaries
North
The North sub-market continues to see a substantial portion of the metro-wide leasing
activity, with thirty-five (35) of the ninety (90), or 38.9 percent, lease deals that occurred
north of 86th Street during this past quarter (Table 12). While construction activity is up
this year, it isn’t nearly as high as it was seen during the pre-recession years. This is
causing some notable supply restraints, particularly in the Fishers/Noblesville sub-market
area where vacancy rates have declined to only 3.2 percent. The sub-market also saw
several significant build-to-suit deliveries during this past Quarter with the completion of
Cabela’s in Noblesville, Market District by Giant Eagle in Carmel and Fresh Thyme in
both Carmel and Fishers.

South
This sub-market area is also proving to be an area of strong activity. The SouthportGreenwood trade area has seen more than 260,000 square feet of positive net absorption
this year and just saw the delivery of a new Kroger Marketplace this quarter. In addition
to several new grocery stores and a Costco in the works, this quarter also saw the
announcement of a planned major retail development in the SE quadrant of County Line
Road & I-65 called Greenwood Town Center – proposed to include a cinema, boxes,
restaurants and specialty retailing that will encompass approximately 580,000 square feet.
Downtown (Central)
The Downtown trade area (which is imbedded within the larger Central sub-market),
although suffering from a 12.0 percent vacancy rate, is considered to be a bright spot, as
in less than two years this figure has dropped by 140 basis points. Meanwhile average
asking rents have increased by up to 32.0 percent during this same timeframe to nearly
$17.00 NNN per square foot annually. Restaurants, brew pubs and personal services are
taking advantage of new residents and employees within the central business district and
adjacent neighborhoods. With more than 1,300 new housing units currently under
construction and an increase in office occupancies, this trend is anticipated to continue
into the foreseeable future.

American Place Trade Area & Sales Potential Analysis
Indianapolis, IN MSA
West
This is the geographic sub-market in which the proposed American Place will be located.
The dominant retail trade area within the West sub-market is centered on the community
of Plainfield – which his located about 5.00 miles to the west of the subject development
site – where the west sides premier lifestyle-type fashion-oriented property (The Shops at
Perry Crossing) is situated. With a total retail center inventory of nearly 6.9 million
square feet (13.5 percent of the metro-wide total), this sub-market enjoys a vacancy level
that is below the metro-wide norm – at 5.2 vs. 6.2 percent.
3.5 Indianapolis Fashion Retail Landscape
The fashion retail scene in Indianapolis can easily be divided into four main submarkets
along with two minor submarkets (Map 2). The four main submarkets are North, South,
West and Downtown. The east side of the Indianapolis market is insignificant when it
comes to fashion retailing while the city of Anderson also offers very little fashion
content and is rather distant from everything else in the region (about 35 miles from
downtown Indianapolis).
The North Submarket is the clear-cut dominant fashion submarket. Over half of the
market’s fashion/lifestyle brand stores are found within this submarket (Table 13).

Indiana’s most upscale fashion shopping center is located in the heart of this northern
submarket. The Fashion Mall at Keystone is anchored by Saks Fifth Avenue and
Nordstrom and is the only site for the most upscale A+ fashion brands (Table 14). These
include Burberry, Cole Haan, Michael Kors and Tiffany & Company. Castleton Square,
also located within this North Submarket, is in close competition with Greenwood Park
Mall (from the South Submarket) as the metropolitan areas second most fashionable
shopping mall, and more reasonably as the most main-stream regional mall. Despite
being just over two miles east of the Fashion Mall at Keystone, Castleton Square still
attracts a decent number of Class A-classification tenants (Pandora, Skechers, Teavana
etc.) along with an abundant supply of Class B & C-class retailers (Fossil, Aeropostale,
American Eagle Outfitters, Forever 21, H&M, Limited and many other mall regulars).
This property achieves the ability to provide this level of fashion content on the backs of
a strong fashion anchor line up of Von Maur and Macy’s.

Two of the more recent fashion-oriented property additions to the market are the open-air
lifestyle centers Clay Terrace and Hamilton Town Center. Both of these are found
further north of Keystone and Castleton in suburban Hamilton County. Clay Terrace is

about 6.00 miles due north of the Fashion Mall at Keystone. Following in the mold of
early lifestyle centers, it has no major department store anchors but features Whole Foods
Market and Dick's Sporting Goods. Hamilton Town Center is the newest fashion
shopping center in the greater Indianapolis region. Like Clay Terrace, it has no fashion
department store but does offer JCPenney to go along with Dick’s Sporting Goods, Stein
Mart and an Imax Theater. Because of the relative affluence of this northern submarket,
both of these shopping centers have been able to attract a good number of Class B & C
tenants.
The South fashion/lifestyle submarket has just one fashion shopping center: Greenwood
Park Mall. With no competition anywhere within the southern half of the Indianapolis
MSA, this mall has remained quite strong, particularly after adding Von Maur as an
anchor several years ago. It is now home to the likes of The Cheesecake Factory, Coach,
Express, Forever 21, Hollister, White House | Black Market, Chico’s, Francesca’s
Collections, Charming Charlie and Carhartt.
The West fashion submarket is the third largest submarket, but it is quite a ways behind
the South. While it was once an adequate shopping mall, Lafayette Square has fallen
onto hard times. It lost Macy’s as an anchor in 2008 and now has just Burlington Coat
Factory as its major anchor. This has allowed The Shops at Perry Crossing to rise as the
only fashion shopping center on the west side of the Indianapolis market. Like the other
lifestyle shopping centers developed a decade ago, The Shops at Perry Crossing has no
fashion department store anchor. It has, however, offered surrounding consumers a very
strong JCPenney, as well as Carmike Cinemas, Dick’s Sporting Goods and Barnes &
Noble, as its primary anchors. Within the mid-sized box category are such players as
DSW Shoes, Old Navy and ULTA Cosmetics. In addition, this property is home to
several other key retail tenants that include: American Eagle Ann Taylor LOFT,
Outfitters, Bath & Body Works, Charlotte Russe, The Children’s Place, Jos. A. Bank,
Kirkland’s, Lane Bryant and Victoria’s Secret. Finally, within the full-service restaurant
sector there are such players as Claddagh Irish Pub, Panera Bread and Stone Creek
Dinning Company.
The fashion/lifestyle content of Downtown Indianapolis is similar in size to the West
submarket. However, the quality is somewhat higher – being driven in large part to he
added sales dollars being spent here by the markets large tourist (professional sports and
convention) and office markets. Despite losing Nordstrom as an anchor, the Circle
Centre remains a fairly successful downtown fashion shopping center. This is a
relatively rare feat for a city the size of Indianapolis. The strength of the downtown
scene is best illustrated by the list of national restaurant chains that have located there.
These include Buca di Beppo, Hard Rock Café, McCormick & Schmick, Morton’s
Steakhouse, Shula’s Steak House, The Capital Grille, Champs Americana, P.F. Chang’s,
Palomino and Ruth’s Chris Steak House.
The West Submarket (Hendricks, Morgan, Boone counties) is more populous than the
South submarket (Johnson, Shelby) with a 2020 projection of 300,000 residents versus
200,000. The West is also projected to grow at 1.2 percent per year through 2020 as
- 23 January 2016

compared to 0.9 percent in the South. The addition of American Place in western Marion
County alongside I-465, between I-70 and Hwy 40, would draw from these growing
western counties of the Indianapolis MSA as well as other areas due to easy access.
American Place will allow this submarket to ascend toward the direction of Greenwood
Park Mall.
3.6 Fashion Department Store Competition
There are currently five (5) fashion department store brands in operation within the
Indianapolis market (Table 15). These brands operate a total of nine (9) stores,
comprising over 1.4 million square feet. Five of these nine stores are concentrated in the
North submarket. Saks Fifth Avenue and Nordstrom are the only high-end fashion
department stores in the region, and they are both located at the Fashion Mall at
Keystone. Von Maur, positioned somewhere in between traditional fashion department
stores (like Carson’s and Macy’s) and high-end players (e.g., Saks and Nordstrom), has
taken a two-store approach to the market with a North store at Castleton Square and a
South store at Greenwood Park Mall. Macy’s is the largest department store brand in the
region with its three stores totaling over 700,000 square feet. However, like Von Maur,
Macy’s has split its stores between the North and the South submarkets. Macy’s operates
stores at both Castleton Square and Greenwood Park Mall, but its third store is found
fairly close to Castleton Square – just 4.00 miles to the southwest at Glendale Mall. In
terms of square footage, Carson’s is the third largest brand. Its two stores are found in
downtown Indianapolis at the Circle Centre and in far northeast of the market at the
Mounds Mall in Anderson.

IV. Analog Market Analysis
4.1 Analog Market Demographics
In order to better understand the Indianapolis retail market in terms of relative supply and
demand for fashion department stores, a list of ten (10) comparable metropolitan areas
were used to generate a composite market with which to index Indianapolis against
(Tables 17, 18 & 19). These markets are Columbus, OH; Kansas City, MO-KS;
Nashville, TN; Cincinnati, OH-KY-IN; Cleveland, OH; Milwaukee, WI; St. Louis, MOIL; Louisville, KY-IN; Pittsburgh, PA; and Hartford, CT. Following is a summary of
how the demographic and income characteristics of the Indianapolis metropolitan area
compares with these ten other markets.

Ø The average of these analog markets’ populations is just about equal to that of
Indianapolis. Half of them are larger –St. Louis being the largest with 2.8 million
residents – and half are smaller – Hartford is the smallest with 1.2 million people.
Ø Indianapolis’ population is expected to increase at a faster rate (4.4 percent) over
the next five years than the analog average of 2.1 percent.
Ø The Median Age is also considerably younger, two years below that composite
norm of 38.8 years of age.
Ø Key incomes levels for persons and households living within the Indianapolis
MSA are each within 10.0 percent of these other markets.
o Per Capita Income is only 6.0 percent below the average of $30,322 – at
$28,410.
o Average Household Income is close – 3.0 percent below – to the analog
average of $73,352, with $70,834.
o Median Household Income is 5.0 percent under the $54,639 average at
$51,846.
o There are also8.6 percent less households earning more than $100,000
annually in Indianapolis – at 166,816 vs. 182,391 of these households.
Ø In contrast, the proportion of target households for traditional fashion department
stores is well above the average. Thus, even though there are slightly fewer total
households in Indianapolis, the number of target households is 6.0 percent above
average.
Ø Overall, Indianapolis compares fairly well with these ten markets. And, where it
fall’s a little short in income levels, it makes it up with its slightly larger
population and target household base.

4.2 Fashion Shopping Center Space Analysis
Translating this analog analysis data into potential supply/demand figures, each market’s
total fashion shopping center GLA totals were collected (Table 20). The average square
footage of these ten markets was approximately 6.1 million square feet across 8 shopping
centers. Indianapolis has about 150,000 fewer square feet across its seven (Castleton
Square, Circle Centre, Clay Terrace, Fashion Mall at Keystone, Greenwood Park,
Hamilton Town Center and The Shops at Perry Crossing – Table 21) fashion shopping
centers. On a per capita basis, Indianapolis has 0.15 fewer square feet per person. If one
were to apply the indexed per capita level for this type of retail GLA (calculated to be
1.06 times the analog per capita norm – by combining the ratio’s for per capita, average
and median household incomes as well as both the number of >$100,000 and target
households), then it would be found that the per capita market support level for fashionoriented retail GLA would actually come in at 3.35 square feet. That means that there
could be the potential for approximately 670,000 square feet of additional fashion
shopping center GLA within the Indianapolis MSA.

4.3 Fashion Department Store Space Analysis
Employing the same methodology in regards to fashion department store square footage
that was employed in examining the fashion shopping center space of Indianapolis MSA,
it has been calculated that it is under-built by more than 1.0 million square feet of fashion
department store GLA (Table 22). This comparative analysis indicates that the market
could support a per capita fashion department store inventory of 1.21 square feet vs. the
existing 0.64 square feet per capita.

With barely more than half the square footage of the analog average, it shouldn’t be
surprising to find that total fashion department store sales are estimated to be in the range
of $56.0 million below the analog market average. This works out to a deficit of $32 per
person throughout the Indianapolis MSA. Distributed across the entire metropolitan area,
it is estimated that between $60.0 and $65.0 million in fashion department store sales are
being left on the table.
4.4 Fashion-Oriented Retail Content
Understanding that the Indianapolis MSA clearly loos to be in a positon to support the
addition of further fashion-oriented and fashion department store GLA – based on the
preceding comparative analysis of the subject metropolitan area with the ten analog
markets – the critical question as to whether, or not, there exists market demand for the
inclusion of further specialty tenants needs to be addressed. When the higher-end retail
content that has been identified within the subject MSA is compared with that for the
three larger, and more comparable, markets – Cleveland, Pittsburgh and St. Louis – it was
found that Indianapolis comes in well below the anticipated levels of higher-end retailers
(Table 23). In this comparative analysis, the total number of A+, A, B & C-classification
retailers came in at 308 for Indianapolis – some 20.0 percent below the number for these
three other markets of 385 retail units.

When one examines the specific retailers that might be attracted to either enter the
Indianapolis market, or add an additional units to their existing store location network, a
rather impressive list is generated (Table 24). In order to be placed on this list, a retailer
had to either (a) be present in at least two of the three analog markets and not yet in
Indianapolis, or, (b) have an existing unit within the subject MSA but also indicate the
potential for the addition of another metro-wide unit (by having a (0.7) or greater in the
Variance column on Table 25).

V. American Place: Trade Area and Sales Potential
After reviewing the Indianapolis metropolitan area in terms of retail supply & demand on
a macro level, attention will now focus on American Place’s sales potential. Issues to be
addressed are:
Ø Defining the trade area for this proposed facility
Ø Estimating the sales potential for this proposed 600,000 to 700,000 square foot
retail, dining and entertainment facility.
5.1 Trade Area
Because of the competitive forces found in the North, South and Downtown submarkets,
the primary retail trade area (shaded in green on the following map) is primarily confined
to the Western Indianapolis submarket areas. The secondary retail trade area accounts for
the outsized capital investment and additional gaming and non-gaming amenities being
proposed and extends into the area shaded in yellow (Map 3).
Map 3: American Place – Estimate Trade Area
Please note that these retail trade areas have been partially defined using Point-of-Sale
(POS) data that has been collected from several of the major retailers that currently
operate at various centers within this defined geographic area. This trade area begins in

Ø The broad reach of the primary trade area will enable American Place to
serve a population equivalent to nearly 25.0 percent of the total
metropolitan area. The total 2015 primary trade area was estimated to be
home to a resident population of approximately 488,200 persons.
Ø This population is estimated to have increased at a pace that exceeded the
metro-wide norm over the period 2000 through 2015 – at 22.5 vs. 18.7
percent.

Ø The secondary geographic trade area that is anticipated to support
American Place – which is likely to be attracted to not only the retail
component of this development but also to its entertainment and gaming
components – will include another 1.3 million plus persons.
Ø The racial make-up of this suburban primary trade area essentially mirrors
that of the entire Indianapolis MSA, while that of the secondary trade arae
looks to more mirror that of the entire state.
Ø The Median Age of this trade area is higher than the metropolitan area and
the state of Indiana. It’s Median Age of 39.4 is just over 3 years older
than the Indianapolis region.
Ø Per Capita Incomes within the primary retail trade area are only slightly
lower ($26,258 vs. $28,410) than the metropolitan area but are above the
state average (Table 27). Within the secondary trade area Per Capita
Income levels are actually higher than any of these three other geographic
areas – Indiana, the Indianapolis MSA, and the primary retail trade area.

Ø The reason for this increased level of Per Capita Income within the
secondary trade area is that this geographic region encompasses the
northern suburbs of the Indianapolis MSA, which are home to some of the
state’s highest income neighborhoods.
Ø Similar geographic scenarios are uncovered when considering both
Average and Median Household Income levels as well as the number and
percentage of the highest-income households – those generating greater
than $100,000 in annual incomes.
Ø Educational attainment levels, whether within the subject primary retail or
the secondary trade area, look to be in-line with metro and state-wide
norms, as do labor force characteristics (Table 28).

Ø Within the primary retail trade area the percentage of households within
the most affluent Mosaic lifestyle group (Power Elite) comes in below the
MSA levels; however, as has been seen within each of the various
demographic categories that have been examined, when one goes beyond
the primary and into the secondary trade area this situation rapidly
changes – with more affluent households becoming the norm (Table 29).

subject primary geographic retail trade area actually exceeds the combined
norm, with 31.4 vs. 28.1 percent of these households.
Ø Overall, the primary retail trade area is oriented toward the more mature
household groups (Booming with Confidence, Thriving Boomers and
Autumn Years) and younger families (Promising Families, Family Union
and Families in Motion). Within the secondary trade area, the tone is
more towards affluence – with 36.1 percent of all households being
identified within the five top income cluster groups (Power Elite,
Flourishing Families, Booming with Confidence, Suburban Style and
Thriving Boomers).
5.2 Sales Potential
5.2.1 Analog Properties: Population, Income & Psychographic Comparison
Using our database of nearly 1,800 shopping centers located throughout the nation, a list
of five (5) that are considered to be the most comparable lifestyle-type venues were
selected. The basis for inclusion in this group of properties was that the 8-mile radius
area supporting these centers had to be relatively similar, as did the three key income
measures – those being per capita, average and median household. In addition, the
number of the highest-income households (those that generate greater than $100,000
annually) had to be in the ballpark of the number identified potentially supporting
American Place. Finally, the psychographic cluster groups that appear to best define the
affluence of the American Place support area were used as a final comparative set
(Table’s 30 & 31). The five lifestyle-type retail venues that were selected for this portion
of the analysis were: The Greene (Dayton, OH), The Promenade Shops at Saucon Valley
(Allentown, PA), Uptown Village at Cedar Hill (Dallas, TX), Eastwood Town Center
(Lansing, MI) and ABQ Uptown (Albuquerque, NM).

When the index values of each of these variables were combined, it was calculated that
the 8-mile support area surrounding American Place provides for per capita/household
market support equal to approximately 0.98 times the composite norm – essentially the
same support that the composite for these five centers is afforded by their surrounding
populations.
5.2.2 Analog Properties: Retail Content Summary
Understanding now that the subject location provides potential tenants with essentially equal
surrounding market support as is enjoyed at these five analog locations brings one to the issue of
what tenants might be anticipated to occupy space at this location. In order to provide some level
of guidance to this question, tenant data were collected for each of the five analog properties
(Table 32).

From the above information, the following observations are provided in regards to the
overall tenant/merchandise mix at these properties:
Ø The average overall GLA of these retail/dining/entertainment venues
comes in at approximately 525,000 square feet – ranging from the smallest
(ABQ Uptown) at 220,000 square feet to the largest (The Greene) at
800,000 square feet.

Ø Of these five properties, two are anchored by fashion department stores –
those being The Greene (Von Muar) and Uptown Village at Cedar Hill
(Dillard’s). Of these two, Dillard’s (estimated at approximately $27.5
million) at Cedar Hill far out-produces Von Muar at The Greene (+/-$17.5
million).
Ø With the average number of tenants at nearly forty-six (45.8), and these
retailers, restaurants and entertainment tenants falling primarily within the
B, C, D & E-classifications of tenants, it seems fair to suggest that the
overall merchandise mix could be described as Moderate to slightly above
Moderate.
Ø Finally, one very real advantage that looks to be apparent when
considering the American Place location is that it is located further from
its nearest mall competitor (Circle Centre in Downtown Indianapolis is
8.00 miles straight-line distance) than is typical for these other analog
properties – which come in at an average distance of approximately 4.30
miles.
5.2.3 Analog Properties: Retail Content Breakdown
Seeing that only two of the five analog properties are anchored by fashion department
stores begs the questions as to what types of other anchor tenants are included in the
tenant mix at these centers to help create the necessary critical mass to attract both small
shop tenant retailers as well as consumers. What was found was that there is quite a
variety of mid-sized boxes to work on recruiting to American Place (Table 33). On
average, there are nearly five (4.8) of these retailers at the analog centers.

American Place Trade Area & Sales Potential Analysis
Indianapolis, IN MSA
Of those identified, it becomes rather apparent that several specific sectors/retailers
should be targeted quite seriously:
Ø A Multi-screen cinema (located at The Greene, Saucon Valley and
Eastwood) is likely first among this list as they not only attract consumers
on evenings and weekends but are also a favored co-tenant for full0service
restaurants. On the entertainment side of the equation, another use that
might be worth consideration could be a comedy club such as Funny
Bones that has been quite successful at The Greene in the Dayton, OH
MSA.
Ø A large-format bookstore was identified in four of the five centers (Barnes
& Noble in two, with Books & Co. and Schuler’s Books & Music in one
each) and they are well-regarded by both cinema’s and restaurants as a cotenant.
Ø A larger apparel offering is another retail type that is worthy of serious
recruitment efforts. Within this sector the more common players include
Forever 21, H&M and Old Navy. Retailers newer to inclusion in these
types of properties are LL Bean and Nordstrom RACK.
Ø Another retail sector that should be mentioned within this grouping of
mid-sized boxes is the home-oriented retail group. Within the tenant
rosters that were included in this analysis the two that were seen were
Ethan Allen and Pier 1. However, although not technically mid-sized
boxes players such as Pottery Barn and Williams-Sonoma could also be
included as smaller space users within this sector. In addition, other larger
space users within this sector might be Arhaus, Container Store, Crate &
Barrel and Restoration Hardware.
Ø Finally, yet another use that looks to provide added consumer satisfaction,
as well as strong co-tenancy, is a specialty grocery operator – such as The
Fresh Market or Trader Joe’s.
Referring back briefly to the importance of the entertainment component in regards to the
tourist component of retail that is associated with either adjacent or a nearby casino, as
American Place will be, in previous analyses that we have undertaken it was found that
these types of uses are becoming quite prevalent in today’s gaming industry (Table 34).
In the case of the four tourist/destination casinos that were examined, whether looking at
spas, multi-screen cinemas, nightclubs or blowing alleys, these have all become common
amenities within today’s casino landscape. Within the bowling concept realm, two
potential players that come to mind as distinct possibilities might be Lucky Strikes and
Pin Stripes. When considering cinemas, those that are of the cine-bistro type format
might prove of higher priority as they would match up well with the adjacent
casino/tourist consumer traffic.

Another critical sector for targeting is the full-service eating & drinking (Restaurants and
bars) group of tenants. In examining the rosters of the analog properties, it was
calculated that the average number of these tenants is in the range of just over five (Table
35).

As can be seen from this information, there are only two (Bar Louie and Bravo!/BRIO)
that have been identified in at least two of the analog properties, suggesting more
regionality in the leasing within this sector. However, national brands remain critical as
such players as Fleming’s, McCormick & Schmick’s and P.F. Chang’s, etc. have all been
identified. Also of note is the inclusion of fast-casual players such as California Pizza

Kitchen and Red Robin within this list, as well as a wide selection of pub-type operators
– e.g. Claddagh Irish Pub, Elephant Bar and the Pub.
In today’s leasing world, it has become understood that a collection of four to six fullservice restaurants and bars can provide as much, or more, consumer traffic than a
traditional fashion department store. For example, while it is estimated that Von Muar
generates approximately $17.5 million ($145 per square foot out of their 120,000 square
foot box) at The Greene, based on data that we have been able to collect from various
contacts, the estimated combined sales at this property for Bar Louie, BRIO, Cheesecake
Factory, Fleming’s and McCormick & Schmick, come in at approximately $22.5 million,
or, over $550 per square foot out of just over 40,000 square feet.
A representative collection of small shop specialty retailers that come close to
approximating a composite created from the five analog properties has been compiled in
order to illustrate what might be anticipated at American Place (Table 36).

On a very positive note, from a prospective tenant perspective, is the fact that of the
retailers listed in the above table – when cross-referenced with the results of the MSAwide retail tenant analog analysis results from Table 24 – it was found that twenty (20)
were identified as being both one unit or more short of anticipated metro-wide coverage
an well as being found on at least two of the five specific analog properties tenant rosters.
These retailers are presented in the following graphic and include several very important
brands in today’s retail environment – such as Apple, J. Crew, Banana Republic,
Lululemon Athletica, Sephora, Victoria’s Secret and Williams-Sonoma (Table 37).

American Place Trade Area & Sales Potential Analysis
Indianapolis, IN MSA
5.2.4 Analog Properties: Retail Content Breakdown
With the analysis that has been completed, as well as the data that has been collected, it
has been determined that the American Place location provides very real potential for the
development of a lifestyle-type retail/dining/entertainment venue as a component of its
overall master plan – which is to also include a major casino facility as well as residential
and hospitality offerings.
When considering the overall sales productivity potential for this development site – from
a small shop specialty tenant perspective – it has been calculated that should the
developer be successful in attracting a similar line-up of tenants as has been outlined in
this analysis, a sales potential level of approximately $410 per square foot is projected as
a 1st Full-Year figure (Table 39).

American Place Trade Area & Sales Potential Analysis
Indianapolis, IN MSA
This is the sort of trend that has been happening over the years, where gaming facilities
have been trending to add more non-gaming amenities so that they can offer more wellrounded experiences. Many are becoming much more all-inclusive resorts rather than
simply casino facilities.
An important note to make in regards to overall revenues at these facilities – nationally –
is that non-gaming revenue, which includes money that patrons spend on food &
beverages, lodging, shopping and entertainment at gaming facilities, grew nearly three
(3.0) percent in 2012, from $3.3 to $3.4 billion. In Oklahoma, where all of the gaming is
Tribal Nation related, non-gaming gambling revenue grew by a slightly more rapid rate
of 3.4 percent to $510 million. For the state of Oklahoma the total amount of revenue
that the state received from tribal gaming compacts increased by approximately $5.0
million from 2012 to 2013 – from about $123.9 million during 2012 to $128.1 million
during 2013.
In terms of small shop tenancy and merchandise offerings in these properties – looking at
the full-price centers listed above (The District at Green Valley Ranch, Foxwoods and
Mohegan Sun) – it was found that the average number of national and large regional
specialty tenants came in at twenty-six (26), ranging from a low of eighteen (18) at
Mohegan Sun – which also houses a 300,000 square foot outlet center – to thirty-nine
(39) at The District at Green Valley Ranch (Table 41). As seen from this information,
there are five retailers that have been identified in at least two of the three centers – those
being Bath & Body Works, Brighton Collectibles, Brookstone, Chico’s and Coach. In
addition, the retail sectors that appear the most often include apparel (Activa, American
Eagle Outfitters, Anthropologie, Chico’s, Columbia Sportswear, DownEast Basics,
Gymboree, H&M, Hard Rock Store, Janie and Jack, Jos. A. Bank, Kate Spade, LOFT,
Soma, Tommy Bahama, Under Armour, Vineyard Vines and White House | Black
Market), accessories and jewelry (Brighton, Bulgari, Charming Charlie, Chopard, Coach,
Fossil, Francesca’s, Landau, Lux bond & Green, Pandora, Swarovski and Tiffany & Co.)
and cosmetics/fragrances (Aveda, bareminerals, Bath & Body Works, LUSH and
Sephora). In addition, there looks to be a solid representation of home-oriented retailing
as merchandise offerings at these properties – e.g. Anthropologie, Brookstone, Pottery
Barn, West Elm and Williams-Sonoma. Finally, full-service national chain restaurants
are clearly an integral part of the offering at these properties, with the likes of Johnny
Rockets, King’s Fish House, P.F. Chang’s and The Cheesecake Factory, having been
identified.
When cross-referenced against the retailers that have been identified as being potential
candidates for American Place, through both the metropolitan area and analog property
investigations presented in Sections 4.4 and 5.2.3, this comparative data appears to
indicate that the concepts and merchandise opportunities laid out earlier provide solid
guideposts for retail tenant targeting.

Appendix: Introduction to Fashion/Lifestyle Retail
Classification
An analysis of 1,169 different retailers and their locations across the United States was
undertaken. These retailers have been found to be the driving forces behind the overall
sales productivity of the shopping centers and independent shopping districts in which
they are located (over 2,700 total shopping centers and independent shopping districts –
such as Rodeo Drive in Los Angeles and Soho in New York City – were included in this
analysis). Applying some concepts of social networking theory (in which the value of an
individual can be judged in part by who that individual chooses to associate itself with),
each retailer was assigned a score based on the level of selectivity it uses when choosing
its locations. Selectivity is determined by a retailer’s choice of co-tenants and is relative
to those co-tenants selectivity levels. The highest score for any brand was 2.24 for
Marina Rinaldi and Audemars Piguet while brands such as Boot Barn and Five Below
have very low scores. The average score was 1.00 with brands such as Alex and Ani,
P.F. Chang’s, and Tradehome Shoes hovering around that level. Based on these
selectivity scores, each retailer was then assigned to one of six groups – A+, A, B, C, D,
or E (Table I.1). Those with the highest scores (e.g., Oscar de la Renta, Christian Dior,
Giorgio Armani, and Cartier) were each assigned to Cluster A+. As should be expected,
these fashionable brands are not only the most selective, but they also tend to be the most
productive on a sales per square foot basis. On average, these retailers operate only 12
stores within the United States each while many of them operate as few as 2 or 3. In
total, 299 different retail brands with over 3,600 stores fell into this category and had
average selectivity scores of 1.79. Landing in Cluster A were the next 141 retail brands,
including Kate Spade, Marmi, and Pratesi. Combined, these brands occupy over 7,400
storefronts and have an average fashion score of 1.50. Cluster B contains 159 brands and
almost 11,000 stores. These include Abercrombie and Fitch, Trina Turk, Pottery Barn,
and Columbia Sportswear. There average selectivity score is 1.32. The third tier of
stores, Cluster C, is comprised of 194 retail brands operating over 22,000 storefronts.
These stores include such common mall and lifestyle center tenants as Gap, Macy’s, and
Victoria’s Secret. These stores had an average selectivity score of 1.13. Cluster D
contains the second most retail brands with 220. These brands operate over 14,000 stores
from brands like Claire’s, Justice, and Talbots. The remaining 158 retail brands make up
Cluster E. These retailers had an average selectivity score of 0.30 and operated over
15,000 stores. Similar to Cluster D, these stores are commonly found in traditional
enclosed malls throughout the country. Examples from this group are rue21, Eastern
Mountain Sports, and Dick’s Sporting Goods.
