Tuff Shed Indianapolis is a branch of a leading national manufacturer and installer of prefabricated storage buildings, garages, and recreational structures. The company required a new, strategically located facility to serve as its Indianapolis-area headquarters and primary showroom.
Tuff Shed & Allies Partnership
Allies Commercial Realty was engaged as the exclusive tenant representation partner. Our mandate was to identify, negotiate, and secure a property that met Tuff Shed’s precise operational and market-positioning needs.
Opportunity & Challenge
Tuff Shed needed to secure a 5,000–7,000 SF industrial space in the high-demand Hamilton County corridor within a strict 3–4 month timeline. Key challenges included:
Specific Location Requirement: A premium presence in or near Hamilton County.
Specialized Build-Out: A functional showroom for customer visits and product displays.
Aggressive Timeline: A seamless transition from their existing location without business disruption.

Analysis
Our team conducted a rapid market analysis of available industrial properties in Hamilton County. We identified a unique opportunity at 17265 Harger Court, Noblesville, a newly constructed building with unfinished suites. This allowed for a custom build-out that perfectly aligned with Tuff Shed’s showroom requirements. We targeted two adjacent 3,300 SF suites to create a consolidated 6,600 SF space.
