Peru, Indiana: A Hidden Gem for Logistics Growth

Why Peru, IN Deserves a Second Look

When logistics professionals think Midwest distribution, major metros like Indianapolis, Chicago, and Columbus usually top the list. But smart site selectors are now looking just beyond the urban core—to high-access, low-cost markets like Peru, Indiana.

Located within the Grissom Aeroplex industrial park, Peru combines strategic access, scalable infrastructure, and economic momentum that make it a standout for 2026 growth.

Location That Works as Hard as You Do

Peru offers immediate access to U.S. 31 and State Road 218, providing fast north-south connectivity to Indianapolis, Kokomo, and South Bend—plus east-west routes into Fort Wayne and Chicago corridors.
For regional distribution, the location offers:

• Access to over 30 million consumers within a one-day drive
• Direct interstate connections to key Midwest and Great Lakes markets
• Reduced congestion and predictable freight flow

That’s why Keller Industrial Properties selected Peru for its latest 150,000 SF speculative warehouse development.

Grissom Aeroplex: Built for Industry

The Grissom Aeroplex has evolved from an air base to a thriving industrial park with multimodal potential. With existing utilities, rail proximity, and zoning advantages, the site delivers both speed-to-market and long-term scalability.

Tenants benefit from industrial-ready infrastructure, ample acreage for expansion, and pro-business development incentives from local and state partners.

Economic Development That Welcomes Growth

Indiana continues to rank among the top logistics-friendly states in the nation—thanks to low operating costs, central geography, and aggressive development support.
Local incentives in Miami County help accelerate site readiness, making Peru an attractive option for manufacturers, 3PLs, and food processors looking for build-to-suit or speculative space availability.
