The Trades District lies in a sweet spot of opportunity. It offers the last undeveloped real estate in the heart of downtown Bloomington—a location that will never be available in this pristine condition again. Its iconic historic structures set a cool vibe that has already drawn techies, entrepreneurs, and creatives to the startup community at The Mill. It taps into the pulse of the B-line Trail, the energetic multi-use path that runs through the City. Mixed-use parcels sit shovel-ready, steps away from a new parking garage and an award-winning brewery.
We’re looking for partners to create something special with us. Bloomington has long been recognized as Indiana’s maverick heart for arts and culture. In 2021, TechPoint also recognized us as a Rising Tech City. The Trades District sits at the heart of the Sci-Tech corridor that runs from Crane to Indianapolis. Bloomington is home to the Big Red Supercomputer and Indiana University’s programs in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and infomatics.
This is a timely, right-size development opportunity to take advantage of existing momentum and become an anchor partner in a regional center for innovation.
