UTEC Signs Lease Bringing Jobs

United Technologies Electronic Controls Inc (UTEC) has recently signed a long-term lease for 53,246 square feet in the Indiana Office Center building located at 111 E Wayne Street in downtown Fort Wayne. The company will occupy several floors of the building. Brad Sturges, President of Sturges Property Group, handled the transaction for the Landlord. Sturges Property Group will also coordinate the construction of the Tenant Improvements led by Senior Property Manager, Tammy Canfield, CPM.

UTEC, a global manufacturer of electronic controls for the HVAC, food service, and RV industries, plans to bring up to 140 engineers, research, and development staff to the new space later this summer.

Sturges remarked about the upcoming move,

“We are excited that downtown Fort Wayne has lured in another large employer. UTEC’s decision to locate this business unit right into the middle of our Central Business District has a direct correlation to the culture and environment that has been created by the investments in downtown.”  

Built in 1994, Indiana Office Center is an 8-story building with a penthouse and a skybridge that connects to the City Center parking garage. Other tenants in the building include Flagstar Bank, Wells Fargo, and Elevatus Architecture.
