Warrick County office park filling up
By CAROL WERSICH Courier & Press staff writer, June 28, 2005

Interstate Office Park along I-164 in Warrick County is filling up with tenants. Employees of Energy Systems Group (ESG) are presently settling into a new national headquarters building in the park.

Though just one-story tall, a vaulted atrium which extends 16 feet in the air makes the building look taller.

ESG, which is a full energy provider, left its former headquarters in Executive Park East on Evansville's East Side for the new, larger location in recent days. Jill Adams, ESG office manager, said the company had outgrown space in Executive Park East.

In a recent company newsletter, ESG founder Jim Adams, explained that after five expansions over 10 years at the location it was time for a fresh start. "It's no longer practical to expand," he said.

ESG's new 12,000-square-foot contemporary headquarters includes space for 45 employees, Adams said.

The company also has locations in Chicago; Indianapolis; St. Louis; Saginaw, Mich.; Raleigh and Roanoke, Va.; Atlanta; Johnson City and Nashville, Tenn.; and Clearwater, Fla.

Delta Properties, a realty holding company of Woodward Commercial Realty, is the office park developer and owner of the ESG building, said Evan Beck, Woodward president and chief executive.

He said Mental Floss, another holding company of Woodward, also owns another new office building which is now complete in the park.

The building - located next to Woodward's headquarters -will be occupied by Dr. Louis Cady's Cady Wellness Institute - Integrating Mind and Body for Peak Performance.

Cady said his staff of about six currently is packing for the move into the 4,200 square foot space.

A specialist in psychiatry and age management, Cady said they expect to open in the new building July 5.

Cady will vacate his present location in the Doctors Plaza Building, across from Deaconess Hospital. Another large building under construction in Interstate Office Park will be both owned and occupied by Morley & Associates.

Jim Morley Sr. said he and about 50 associates expect to be moved in by Aug. 5.

The company provides civil engineering, land surveying, and architectural and construction management services.

Morley & Associates will vacate its current location at 600 S.E. Sixth St., near Welborn Clinic, for the new 15,020-square-foot building.

The new building cost approximately $1.75 million, according to Morley officials.

Morley also has locations in Henderson, Ky., and Jasper, Ind.
