North-side office building falls into foreclosure

Back to TopCommentsE-mailPrint

A nearly 100,000-square-foot office building on East 46th Street in Indianapolis has fallen into foreclosure after lenders found the owner in default on a $4.5 million loan.

LaSalle Bank and UBS Real Estate Investments Inc. filed suit on Aug. 15 against owners Keystone Corporation Square LP and Robert Ferree, claiming they owed a balance of $4.4 million on the loan as of June 20.

Keystone Corporation Square is an affiliate of Landmark Properties Group of Allison Park, Pa.

Landmark CEO Ferree resides in Valencia, Pa., according to court documents. He did not return a phone call seeking comment on the foreclosure.

Landmark owns more than a dozen commercial properties in five states, including Hawthorn Business Centre at 5060 E. 62nd St. in Indianapolis, according to its website.

A hearing has been set for Sept. 5 in Marion Superior Court to appoint a receiver to manage the property on East 46th Street, between North Keystone Avenue and Allisonville Road, during the foreclosure proceedings.

Tenants include ADT Security Services, City of Refuge Christian Church and Miller Coin Washer Co.

Building owners received a loan from UBS in November 2006. The lender notified them in June 2011 that partial payment was due, and UBS assigned LaSalle Bank as trustee on the loan.

With interest and other charges, UBS claims it is owed $5.2 million, according to court documents.

  • eastside
    Keystone is east of Meridian street
  • North Side
    Thank you for the correction.
  • Oh...
    to tell the IBJ Staff that 46TH & KEYSTONE IS NOT ON THE EAST SIDE! Don't they have a big map on the wall of the newsroom there that you could look at before printing such things?
    • Who cares?
      Big whoop! A commercial property being foreclosed on. Why is this news? It's at 46th & Keystone. Are we supposed to be shocked that a property is in foreclosure proceedings there?
    • Tip of the iceberg
      This is just the tip of the Commercial Property Iceberg. I am very concerned about Regional Banks currently holding the paper on multi-million dollar commercial property loans.

    1. these guys only skill was to steal from other's hard earned savings.

    2. I voted for him last time and it WAS the LAST time. He needed to to quit running around the world on useless trips, and giving our $$ away to sports teams. I'll vote for anyone but Ballard next time. BTW...we gave $40M to the Pacers and cannot even watch the games on TV.

    3. For the people concerned about traffic, you should know that mixed-use projects (like the one being proposed), actually allows for and encourages more people to walk and bike, thereby mitigating additional automobile traffic. If we continue to design and build suburban-type projects in the City (i.e. automobile-oriented projects), we are not offering anything different from what the suburbs offer, which means we will continue to lose jobs/people to the suburbs. The reason Broad Ripple is somewhat successful today is that people want to live in a place that offers the convenience of being able to walk/bike to restaurants, retail, nightlife, the Monon, etc. Why would you not want to support a project that is complimentary to what already makes the area desirable? The real argument with this project should be its lack-luster design and layout, not the density.

    4. It is unfortunate that there is a perception that celebrities validate an event. The Indy 500 stands on its own, especially for those coming in from out of town. It was always so disturbing to read the gushing descriptions of Ashley Judd threaded throughout the local coverage. Very happy that era is at an end.

    5. Good ole' Obamacare. Thanks liberals and those who didn't bother to vote.
