2019 AIA Indiana Citation Award (Preservation/Adaptive Reuse/Renovation)

Aptera is now in a space that helps attract and retain talent, where employees want to come to work, and is a true reflection of the company’s unique personality.

The loft-like space is in a historic building in downtown Fort Wayne that was once home to a Sears department store.

The renovated space promotes culture, increases visibility and flexibility, and has plenty of room for growth. Opening up the front of the building with full-length windows lets the hustle and bustle happening on each side become a shared experience and connection. The space also reflects Aptera’s laidback culture, featuring amenities like comfortable seating spaces, an employee kitchen, and a pool table.
