The fire’s out at The Flats at Fishers Marketplace.

Been out, since shortly after it started, earlier this year.

Yeah, it did some damage.

So what’s it take to get the developer, Ackermann Group of Cincinnati, to smile like this? (that’s COO Greg Long, left to right, with Vice President Ginger Collins and President/CEO Dobbs Ackermann):

• a successful rebuilding program, on the same site, building with the same people in the same community;
• a really, really good insurance company;
• opening another wing of the same project last month – The Flats at Fishers Marketplace – offering the same unique, live-work-play environment and atmosphere;
• leasing up about one-third of that new wing, which brings 84 new apartments to this booming suburb northeast of Indianapolis.

“This is a major milestone for the Ackermann Group and for The Flats at Fishers,” said Dobbs Ackermann, president and CEO of Cincinnati-based Ackermann Group.

“We were able to restart construction after a devastating fire of an unoccupied building, which will result in the delivery of a new building on the same site in early 2016.”

Ackermann Group designed The Flats at Fishers Marketplace with an eye on integration of services for the community within a lifestyle center, Fishers Marketplace.

“The Flats is able to provide grocery shopping, restaurants, bars, retail and a host of amenities that are all within walking distance, as part of the service-based environment we’ve built around our residents,” Ackermann said.

“After we had the fire in January, the community response was just unbelievable. We received tremendous support from the Fishers and surrounding fire departments, and people were literally calling us every day wishing us encouragement, and continuing to welcome us to Fishers,” Ackermann added.

“We were able to get cleaned up pretty quickly and get back to work on construction. We feel extremely grateful that nobody was hurt. We feel as if all that community support will lead us to a very bright future, for us and our partners and the whole community here at The Flats.”
