We’re eager to put our experience with creative, mixed-use developments like this to work.”

Founded in 1961 by Al Zacher, The Zacher Company has established itself as one of the leading commercial real estate firms in Northeast Indiana. Today, the firm lists, sells and leases more industrial and commercial real estate in northeast Indiana and the surrounding region than any other brokerage firm. Zacher features a team of real estate professionals known for its depth of knowledge, technological capacity and breadth of experience.
