Brenwick Realty, the real estate arm of Brenwick Development Co., is merging with Keller Williams Realty, a national real estate company that has seen consistent growth each year since its entry into the Indianapolis market five years ago.

Brenwick Development Co. developed The Village of WestClay neighborhood, which led the market area in new custom-home permits in 2008.

"We believe as we complete the build-out of The Village of WestClay, we will begin to see an increase in existing-homes sales there," said George Sweet, chief executive officer of Brenwick Development. "We think merging with Keller Williams, one of the top three real estate companies in the nation, will help The Village add agents and handle increased traffic to The Village's realty office as the market improves."

Brenwick Development launched the Village of WestClay in 2000.

The merger with Keller Williams is expected to bring an additional 20 agents to The Village by year's end. The office at The Village of WestClay will also handle commercial real estate sales.

Donna Park, who was asked to launch Brenwick Realty in 2005 by Sweet, will continue in the same role for the merged organization. Park has been with Brenwick more than 15 years, and as vice president of marketing, launched The Village and other upscale neighborhoods.

Kim Alexander, regional director of Keller-Williams Realty, said the merger "provides us with an ideal location as we expand our customer base in Hamilton County and the Zionsville area."
