Tenants lining up for Cole

The Cole Apartments downtown, which saw its first residential tenants move in a month ago, has landed two major commercial tenants that are likely to anchor its ground-level retail space — German American Bancorp and the Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt chain.

An Indianapolis-based franchise group, Yummy Yogurt Indy LLC, plans to occupy nearly 2,000 square feet in The Cole, putting an Orange Leaf yogurt shop there by early May.

Meanwhile, $2 billion-in-assets German American Bancorp has signed a letter of intent to move into The Cole with a 7,200-square foot branch, said Clay Ewing, head of commercial and retail banking with the Jasper, Ind.-based institution.

"We will occupy about 80 percent of The Cole's retail space," Ewing said.
