Press Release

Fort Wayne, Ind. (January 14, 2009) Swiss Re, in conjunction with the City of Fort Wayne and developer Bill Bean, today announced plans for the construction of a new, environmentally-conscious office building in Fort Wayne. The three-story, 80,000 square foot office building at 1800 Magnavox Way will be adjacent to Swiss Res current office location at 1700 Magnavox Way.

Swiss Re and its predecessor companies have been part of the Fort Wayne business community since 1912 and the company employs approximately 250 people in its Fort Wayne office. The new building will be constructed to meet Swiss Res needs in the coming years.

Swiss Re highly values the team here in Fort Wayne, said Tracy Choka, Head of Life and Health North America product management for Swiss Re. The new building exemplifies Swiss Res commitment to its employees in Fort Wayne, and to the local community as well.
Swiss Re worked closely with the City of Fort Wayne and the Alliance, the Citys local economic development organization, in analyzing numerous sites and existing buildings in the area. The project is scheduled for completion in early 2010. Swiss Re employees in Fort Wayne will remain in their existing office location until the new building is completed and ready for occupancy. At an upcoming meeting the Fort Wayne Common Council will act on phasing in property taxes on the new facility. The overall cost of the project and lease terms have not been disclosed.
