Real estate carries the largest property-loss tail of any industry — a single weather event can exhaust a year of EBITDA. Beyond the building itself, every tenant relationship, every rental application, every common-area incident creates liability exposure. The line that surprises owners is fair-housing / discrimination claims. They're routinely underinsured.
Below is that profile under Indiana rules: Midwest perils, state statutes, and the market structure built around them.
The exposures that hit this class hardest, drawn from analysis of mid-market accounts. The structural ones cost more than the premium-driven ones.

The lines ARIA recommends for a well-structured program in this industry, in the order they typically attach.
The core stack for real estate & property mgmt typically starts with Commercial Property w/ blanket limits and stated values, Wind / Named Storm endorsement (coastal only), Flood (NFIP + excess private), Commercial General Liability w/ tenant-discrimination AI, structured in that order. Workers' compensation is required from the first employee. ARIA reads your operation against both the industry profile and Indiana specifics before any quote is requested.
Yes, from the first employee, with narrow exemptions. Manufacturing employers should treat experience-mod management, classification accuracy, and return-to-work programs as the cost levers they are.
For the industry itself: replacement-cost shortfall + coinsurance. Construction inflation has outpaced policy limit increases for most owners. A total loss can trigger 20-30% coinsurance penalties because the policy limit no longer represents 80% of replacement cost. Layered on top in Indiana: manufacturing property and breakdown. Heavy production lines concentrate values in equipment where mechanical breakdown is excluded from property forms. Equipment breakdown coverage sized to actual replacement and downtime reality is the difference between an outage and a crisis.
