Indianapolis-based engineering firm VS Engineering plans to open a new office in Merrillville.
The company recently signed a lease to occupy about 3,500 square feet of office space in an eight-story office building in Merrillville.
“We are delighted to welcome VS Engineering to our building,” said Antony Miocic, Latitude Commercial Real Estate’s director of the office group, in a press release. “Their decision to establish a presence here underscores the attractiveness of Merrillville as a business location and the quality of our office spaces.”
Miocic and Brian Edgerton of NAI Hiffman represented the landlord of the property at 8585 Broadway in the transaction. Tom Hadley of Colliers represented VS Engineering.
