A California water bottler has purchased a Plainfield distribution building for its first Midwestern outpost.

Niagara Bottling LLC bought the 441,000-square-foot building at 1250 Whitaker Road in Plainfield from Mesa, Ariz.-based Arcus Private Capital Solutions. Neither party disclosed a sale price for the building, which in 2007 sold for $14.7 million as a brand-new building.

Niagara is taking about half of the building. The other half is occupied by Brentwood, Tenn.-based supply-chain management firm OHL, which will lease the space from Niagara.

The company plans to invest about $35 million into the water treatment and bottling plant, its eighth across the country, and buy about 300,000 gallons of municipal water per day from the city of Plainfield. It will employ about 37 people.

Brokers from the local office of Colliers Turley Martin Tucker represented the seller, while the buyer was represented by Ontario, Calif.-based Lee & Associates and Carmel-based Stephen M. Becht Co.

  1. If a television station wants to improve viewership, get rid of the local blackout. I was born by the brickyard, and have attended 15 or more races. I have children now, I won't attend unless circumstances are perfect. As those with growing families know, they never are. I'm always impressed that upwards of 250,000 people attend the 500. However, as a growing, or, more apt, sprawling city, Indianapolis and its immediate suburbs count almost 2.2 million. Show the race live, let the venue get a kick-back on revenues, and open-wheel racing might have a fighting chance to be relevant again. Just in time for those tax-payer lights to make sense.

  2. John Moore, I too have had the same issue recently. A property next to my house was on the Land Bank and I was interested in purchasing. When I tried to contact Reggie, I got back emails that had nothing to do with what I asked about. Actually my latest response from him was on this past Friday. I had asked about how to buy the property and if it was still available. His response to me was to contact the mayor's office to get the schedule of his appearances. (???) Hopefully the city is able to do something to fix what this guy has done, it would be nice if they would take the properties back and sell them properly so land owners like me and you mother would have a fair chance.

  3. I too work in the industry, with over 25 years of experience and your political spin has probably nothing to do with any rebranding. "Let's dress it up" would have nothing to do with the government "telling us how and what to eat." Give it a political rest. And being a producer for a radio show doesn't mean you've been involved in advertising and branding for 30 years.

  4. Ms. Morris did not understand the ways of the business world, otherwise, like the IMS, she could have petitioned the State Legislature for a handout of State Funds for her charity work. Ms. Morris should consider becoming a state lobbyist for Lemonade Stand Operators.

  5. David Copperfield!
