Was in home building and Residential Development business, in the late 1940s and into the '50s, and was key and instrumental in starting and developing numerous subdivisions on the Northeast side of Indianapolis along with Chapel Hill on the Westside.

    After graduating high school he went to work as a civilian contractor for Allison Engineering. In the mid 1940's Bill folded his work experience into serving our country in WWII as an engine representative for the Allison Engineering Overseas Division in Noumea, New Caledonia in the South Pacific

    In an effort to capitalize on the "Suburban Boom" that was trending shortly following his return from active service in WWII, Bill borrowed $2500 from his parents to begin developing a plot of farmland in the Castleton area of Indianapolis. One year later he repaid the loan (plus interest), gave his parents two adjoined lots in the new neighborhood and built them their forever home on that land.

    In the late 1950's Bill switched his focus from residential to commercial real estate and began construction on what is now the Schmoll Industrial Park at 65th Street and Binford Boulevard. The complex grew quickly to include 20 structures, 15 of which still remain in Schmoll property holdings today. Its home to an eclectic mix of businesses ranging from metalworking to microbrewing.

    Bill also developed some build to suit commercial properties in the downtown Indianapolis area. He wound down his development push in the late 80's and spent the remainder of his career leasing and maintaining the commercial properties that remained within his portfolio - Schmoll Developement . com
