MainSource Bank finds downtown Indy location

From Indianapolis Star: A high-profile Downtown location, once filled by Borders bookstore, will soon be home to MainSource Bank. This former Borders building has sat vacant for more than a year. Photo by The Indianapolis Star The Greensburg-based bank will fill 9,500-square-feet on two floors of the building at 11 S. Meridian St., which is 22,000 square feet. The remaining space has yet to be leased, but MainSource’s Chris Harrison says he would like to see his bank grow fast enough that it could eventually fill the entire space. “This is a prominent site for us because it’s on one of the busiest corners in both foot traffic and car traffic in the city of Indianapolis,” said Harrison, senior vice president of branch admininstration. The full-service bank, which will open in the fall, will provide an array of offerings, including commercial, wealth management, mortgage and a retail branch. Borders closed its doors on that location more than a year ago, and since has gone out of business shuttering all stores nationwide. The Downtown building has been a tough space to fill because it’s large and on two levels. “It’s a little bit of a funky layout,” said Eric Hillenbrand, a local commercial real estate broker. But for a bank? It’s a perfect location, he said. “It’s prominent and would be just great for a bank,” he said.
