Fran Haring Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Maybe it's just me.... but what's the big deal about an organization moving its HQ to a different building in a different part of the same area? Not sure this is such a major event here. LOL. The spice company McCormick has been headquartered in Baltimore County, MD, not far from where I live, for decades... they recently moved into a new HQ building a few miles from their old one, in the same county. And the world didn't end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a lot of businesses playing location hopscotch west of the city. Number 1 reason given is cost of rent.

Exactly. It would be a bigger deal if they were moving to another city or state... but this is same town, different address. LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lead Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 21 hours ago, Tim K said: I can think of two good points that would not be deal breakers, but are bonuses. One, I don’t know how many people work at DCI Headquarters, but my guess is that in Downtown Indy, that means paying for parking. I would see this as a free parking zone. If they did start having to pay for a lease, this looks less lavish than a downtown office suite and far less than what they have today. Appearances are important and often speak volumes. This looks more appropriate for a nonprofit. Regarding noise, I live near railroad crossings with about twenty inbound to Boston and another twenty outbound trains out of Boston, and after a while you barely notice. I've heard that the downtown space they have is woefully inadequate, in addition to being in a horrible building (I think they lost their A/C for most or all of last summer), and in the basement of that building no less. The parking thing is probably a lot of it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeD Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I am trying to figure out why there are three pages of posts discussing why DCI has moved its office a few miles. I guess "offseasonitis". 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
