Harley's Out, Indian's In; Leases 18,500 SF for New Showroom

Indian Motorcycle, one of the first motorcycle manufacturing companies in the US, is leasing 18,500 sf in the former Harley Davidson showroom at 6310 N. Lamar Blvd.<pIndian Motorcycle plans a dealership in the space and will its doors early in September, according to Stephen Yamin, Jr., president of the company. "The Hill Country is the prettiest riding in Texas," he contends.

Eric DeJernett, a retail specialist at NAI/Commercial Industrial Properties’ Austin office, who has been involved in the transaction, says the space encompasses a retail showroom as well as service and warehouse space. “A major advantage for Indian is that this building was renovated and added onto Harley Davidson specs,” DeJernett says. “The building is in excellent condition for their desired use.”

With more than 200 dealerships in the country, Indian Motorcycle continues to grow and brokers say the Austin location should prove popular. “The North Lamar area has historically been Austin’s motorcycle equivalent of the ‘motor mile,” DeJernett says.
