At Indie, we celebrate the different path, the colorful curiosity of bending conventions, and the spirit to make it all your own. Located at 190 Ottley Drive on the Armour-Ottley Loop, Indie Studios is part of an industrial evolution surrounded by amenities, the close proximity of beloved neighborhoods, and an urban landscape that is singular in style and purpose. Indie Studios is specifically designed for design focused tenants. According to Ortus Economic Research, an estimated 111,000 people worked in design occupations in Atlanta in 2016, equivalent to 4.3% of the total Atlanta workforce. This is a larger proportion than in New York (3.6%) and a larger proportion than the US average workforce (3.6%). The number of designers in Atlanta is growing at a faster rate than total employment and the importance of Atlanta as a US design hub has also grown, in tandem, over the recent years. In 2016 Atlanta’s designers generated $35.8bn in GDP, equivalent to 10% of total Atlanta GDP.
At Indie, picture a 35,000-square-foot former warehouse turned creative environment. Built in 1957, the original construction of the warehouse is unlike many around the city, offering a unique aesthetic and an entire roof deck made from wood. At the heart: private studios washed in natural light with thoughtful interiors, showers, bike racks, fiber internet, and afternoon cinnamon rolls served with complimentary coffee. Each of the 12 private studios is washed in natural light with expansive glass walls and up to 23% of each Studio’s leasable square footage is private outdoor patio space. And don’t forget the joy and camaraderie that come with a like-minded and engaged community to collaborate with and share good company.
The Indie offers a sophisticated, professional environment that’s laid back, balanced, and easy on the eyes. From our relaxed Lobby Bar and quaint Post Office, to our inspiring library and chill living room, we are unique in the world of culturally-based workspace. We have porches and patios, cultural conference rooms, private “Green Rooms”, plus an incredible front garden for watching the world go by.
