Ambrose Announces New Glick Partnership to Strengthen Downtown Indianapolis

INDIANAPOLISAmbrose Property Group today announced its new vision for the future which includes a new residential partnership at Waterside with the Gene B. Glick Company.

“As we look forward to the next 10 years, we are doing so with a powerhouse leadership team and a group of respected partners – like Glick – who are fully committed to our community from both a real estate and a philanthropic perspective,” said Aasif Bade, founder and president of Ambrose. “Community-involvement and charitable initiatives have always been core to Ambrose and we’re excited to increase our impact in these areas as the future unfolds.”

Ambrose will partner with Glick to build and manage apartment homes at Waterside – over 100 acres in downtown Indianapolis that will expand the urban core of the city for generations to come. Glick, which is headquartered in Indianapolis, is one of the largest real estate ownership, development and management firms in the country. Within central Indiana, Glick is particularly well-known for giving back to the community and for its association with Glick Philanthropies, a family of charitable initiatives, programs and organizations.

“Ambrose’s vision for this project aligns closely with our values relating to community development and creating opportunities to strengthen the neighborhoods of Indianapolis,” said David Barrett, president and CEO of Glick. “We view Waterside as a once-in-a-generation project and we are impressed by the Ambrose team’s desire to not just be developers of real estate, but to focus on the civic and philanthropic aspects of this important project.”

Ambrose also recently announced the finalists of the Waterside Design Competition. The finalists and members of their design teams will visit Indianapolis next month and give public presentations that describe their studio’s approach and design philosophy. The Waterside Finalist Introductions are free and open to the public, and will take place at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, June 12, at INDUSTRY (545 Kentucky Ave., Indianapolis, Indiana).
