Several major real estate developments in Carmel are expected to be completed in 2024, adding to the city’s lineup of projects combining residential, business and retail spaces.
The new construction continues Carmel’s rapid redevelopment over the past two decades.
Here’s a look at what’s coming to the Hamilton County suburb.
1st on Main
Expected completion: January or February
Location: northeast corner of Range Line Road and Main Street
Details: The 1st on Main mixed-use redevelopment project includes a 73,000-square-foot office building with first-floor restaurant space and a private rooftop terrace, eight luxury condominiums ranging from 3,000 to 3,340 square feet, 35 upscale apartment units, a 310-space parking garage with public access, and a community plaza.
The 1.7-acre project, which was announced in late 2021, is being developed by Carmel-based Lauth Group at a projected cost of $47 million.
Restaurateur Chris Evans, who owns and operates Sangiovese restaurants at the Ironworks at Keystone complex on the north side of Indianapolis and in the Yard at Fishers District, plans to open a 5,300-square-foot restaurant called Tre (three in Italian) at 1st on Main.
The Signature
Expected completion: February
Location: northeast corner of Old Meridian Street and Main Street
Details: Indianapolis-based Tegethoff Development’s planned debut in Carmel is a $78 million apartment, condominium and retail mixed-use project called The Signature.
The Signature will feature 295 luxury apartments, eight condominiums and 15,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space. The development also includes an interior 374-space parking garage and more than 20,000 square feet of space dedicated to resident amenities.
The project’s amenities will include golf simulators, a resort style infinity pool, pickleball and shuffleboard courts, outdoor fire pits, a 3,500-square-foot indoor/outdoor fitness facility, a hot yoga room, private event space, a community lounge, a dog park and more.

The ground level of The Wren will have offices on the street level, and restaurants and retail on the lower plaza level.
Proscenium II
Expected completion: August
Location: 1215 S. Rangeline Road

The $85 million first phase of Proscenium was completed in 2021 on the northwest corner of South Rangeline Road and West Carmel Drive.
Proscenium II is being built on the site of a former Walgreens store that Birkla used as offices for the Proscenium project.

The top two floors of the building will house office and mixed-use space.
The development by Indianapolis-based developer LOR Corp. will also include 12 three-story, for-sale town homes with rooftop patios on the eastern portion of the site.
A construction issue in November led to the demolition of two elevator towers, but Carmel Redevelopment Commission Director Henry Mestetsky told the Carmel City Council this month that construction should still be complete by the fall.

Impressive list, impressive projects, and a bunch of luxury apartments!
A bunch of luxury apartments not affordable to most ordinary working people and certainly not for low income families. We wouldn’t want any of that in Car-Mel now would we?
You don’t build used cars, and you don’t build cheap apartments. But when you build MORE, prices overall come down. That is the most basic supply and demand at work.
