Our Story

Adrien and Andy met at Indiana University where they were teammates on the varsity track & field and cross country teams. After graduating from Cornell, Adrien joined the IU team for his red-shirt senior where he and Andy were both ranked in the top-5 nationally for the 3,000M Steeplechase. After collecting multiple All-American, Big Ten, and Academic All-American certificates, our founders went their separate ways after graduation before joining up again 3 years later to work for a real estate development company in Southern Indiana.

Working together during their early careers, Adrien and Andy, focused primarily on developing, constructing, and triple-net leasing senior housing projects across the country, with projects in markets from Las Vegas, NV to Port Royal, SC. After collecting the knowledge and skills to manage the various aspects of development and construction, they decided to head out on their own to establish Millstone. They sold their homes, moved to Indianapolis, and in January 2017, founded Millstone while working from coffee shops and couch surfing with friends and family.

Since then, Millstone has constructed over $30 Million in commercial construction projects and, after opening the development arm of their company in 2020, Millstone has pipe-lined over $100 Million in multi-family and self storage development projects.

A Millstone is one of a pair of stones that grind together to turn raw grains into products that support and sustain a community, and that is the goal and the character of this company: Working together, Millstone turns parcels of raw ground into places that support, enhance, and establish communities. Grinding together Adrien and Andy have built up Millstone from a kitchen table business plan to a vertically integrated and professional development shop. These two know hard work and value the entrepreneurial and results-oriented culture that they have created as they have built this company from the ground up.
