Fort Wayne, Indiana

The towers that set the tone of the core, and who holds them. A price is the price a document states, on the date it states — not an estimate of what the building is worth now.

The most valuable ground in the city, and what the public record says about it.

At this scale the significant owner is rarely a trust or a fund: it is one or two local holding companies, a family in its second or third generation, and often the land around the town rather than the buildings in it.

Inside the city the big holders are public: the City itself, its redevelopment bodies, the school district and the airport authority. Two hospital systems follow, then the I&M utility and Norfolk Southern. Acres are as the roll states them, and many platted lots carry 0 acres, so acreage understates holdings. Exempt public parcels mostly carry $0 assessed value (673 of the City's 1,515). Counts include each owner's name variants and cover the ten city taxing districts only.

New-home building in this market: the volume, and the firms behind it. Ownership of a builder matters as much as its volume — a private-equity platform and a family firm behave differently.

Fort Wayne itself builds little new housing on fresh land. The subdivisions go up in the unincorporated townships around it, mainly Perry/Huntertown, Aboite, Cedar Creek and Eel River, and the city annexes them later. The Census Building Permits Survey has no separate Fort Wayne row for 2025: one Allen County permit office reports 1,300 single-family units and 88 units in 5+ unit buildings for the whole county. No league table exists. The figures below are parcels held in each builder's own name on the Allen County roll (lots and unsold homes), county-wide, with the number inside the city's taxing districts. Builder names are given only as companies.

The commercial side, counted separately from housing: who holds the office, retail and industrial floor area.

No listed REIT holds much in Fort Wayne. Net-lease REITs own scattered single stores: Realty Income entities 7 parcels ($6.7M), STORE Master Funding entities 6 ($8.2M) and NNN REIT/National Retail Properties 8 ($6.5M). The large commercial holdings are a regional mall bought out of receivership, an open-air centre, the big-box chains' own stores, and local office landlords who hold each building in its own LLC. 'c/o' means the roll sends the tax bill to that firm; it shows who manages the parcel, not who owns the LLC. The largest single-family rental owner on the roll is PR ARC Borrower 1 LLC, with 49 houses and a New York mailing address; its parent was not checked.
