Angie's List to expand Indianapolis headquarters
Rumors have been circulating that Angie's List was to be bought out, but such rumors appear to be unfounded.
According to an Indy Star article, rather than turning over its operations to someone else, the rating service will instead spend approximately $40m expanding its headquarters in Indianapolis. It also intends to add as many as 1,000 jobs in the next five years.
A spokesperson said the company planned to buy a disused Ford plant, currently owned by the Indianapolis Public Schools, turn it into an office complex, and build a garage with space for 1,000 cards nearby. The site of the new construction is at Southeastern Avenue and East Washington Street.
In addition to the new construction, Angie's List plans to relocate 800 employees from two locations it currently leases to the new site. The company currently has employees working at the Landmark Center, a mid-rise office building in the downtown area; and at another building at Shadeland Avenue and 30th Street.
Among the new jobs will be positions in sales, member service, and technology, as well as other unspecified jobs.
New jobs will include information technology, sales and member service positions, the company has said. Angie's List CEO Bill Oesterle said the expansion reflects the company's commitment to Indianapolis.
Company officials could work with stationery printers to make sure they have new, up-to-date letterheads when the new campus is complete.
