Mitsch Design Expands Carmel, Indiana, Headquarters

04/21/2017
Mitsch Design, a commercial interior architectural design firm, plans to expand its headquarters in Carmel, Indiana. The company expects to nearly triple its office space and create up to 43 new jobs by 2021 in Hamilton County.

The company will invest $2.38 million to expand its headquarters in the Indiana Design Center to cover 8,824 square feet. Updates to the office are currently underway, which include new spaces for its commercial office furniture showroom and branding operations, as well as new high-tech work stations and common areas to encourage collaboration. The company’s expanded office will also include a virtual reality studio to help clients visualize design options.

“Indiana has an abundance of talented and knowledgeable individuals graduating from its universities, so it makes sense for Mitsch Design to attract and hire forward-thinking individuals from our own state to maintain our leadership as innovators in our field,” said Jeryl Mitsch, President of Mitsch Design. Working with the city and the state will help us to hire and train the high caliber talent that our clients deserve. Our thanks to the city of Carmel, the state of Indiana and the Indiana Design Center for partnering with us to make our new design studio and commercial furniture showroom an impressive reality.”

“As Mitsch Design has been busy creating spaces for its clients across the country, here in Indiana, we’ve designed a top-ranked business climate poised for growth,” said Elaine Bedel, President of the Indiana Economic Development Corporation.

"Indiana’s small businesses provide more than 1.2 million jobs, supporting hardworking Hoosiers and their families across the state. To take Indiana’s economy and workforce development to the next level, we must continue to champion and support our entrepreneurs and small business owners,” she added.

As an incentive, Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) offered Mitsch Design Inc. up to $75,000 in training grants and up to $225,000 in conditional tax credits based on the company’s job creation plans. These tax incentives are performance-based, meaning until Hoosiers are hired, the company is not eligible to claim incentives. The city of Carmel supports the project.

“We are happy to share in the success of Mitsch Design, which moved its headquarters into the Indiana Design Center five years ago," said Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard.

"Our vision for the Design Center was to provide a home for the best and brightest designers and their clients from all over the Midwest. We are thrilled to see Jeryl Mitsch and her team expand their operation and we look forward to watching them grow,” he added.
