Helix is a unique development company that values people above all. We celebrate honesty, kindness, and selflessness, and we don't just talk about our core values - we live them out each day.

​

We work hard to ensure successful projects, but don't lose our humanity along the way. We value our clients, our lenders, our partners and our future residents so much that we work diligently to re-write the story of housing in Indiana and beyond.

​

The Helix story began in property management. Our founder, Ethan Fernhaber, began Renewing Management in 2003 by taking out a $20,000 home equity line of credit to purchase a double-wide trailer and turning it into a rental property. Today the portfolio includes 30 apartment communities with 4,200+ rental apartments all around the state of Indiana. Ethan eventually accomplished his monetary goals only to find it a deceptive mirage. Thankfully, God changed his heart and his priorities and gave him a new calling: to restore hope.
