Excellent news for a growing neighborhood
If the canal is ever going to come to fruition of its potential retail, food, drink, etc., and create activity for economic development, the canal frontage begs for that. The rendering shows 8 ‘signage’ banners. That would be great for retail, food and activity. Tenant amenities not so much.
Agree. The canal needs to be activated with waterfront retail and dining. The lack of vision for the canal has frustrated me forever. Finally this project appears to take a step in the right direction.
Impressive, build it!
Very impressive. I hope the project moves along without needless administrative interference. Something that would also invigorate an area needing it would be a 12+ story ‘business’ themed, non convention hotel on north Meridian between 1700-2400. Among other things, it would provide service for the new IU hospital and other business travelers wanting to avoid convention, and sports related congestion.
Need many hotels around the whole City!!! Many areas would do very well with hotels,it’s gonna happen eventually because the whole metro area is booming and will continue for years!!!
Indeed but let’s crank it up! Taller!! And many more areas are awaiting the Same! This is gonna be the new normal so let’s get to it!
So glad to see something new that actually responds to the historical context of the area. I like the height and massing as well for downtown. And please Indianapolis, no more approvals for anything in the urban core of the city that looks like The Hampton Inn on West St. or 1827 Lofts on N. Meridian.
Too bad the Buckingham project did not move forward it was the perfect project for the triangular shape site.
The Buckingham proposal compared to the reimagined proposal that followed it (which was created with community involvement) lacked a sense of being truly connected to place and history. I personally approved of the Buckingham design but liked the reimagining even better.
The proposed development on Indiana Avenue by white-owned companies is a stark reminder of who benefits from “urban renewal” – not the members or descendants of the displaced community, but developers only looking to profit.
We don’t need more monuments to gentrification that erase our heritage & deepen racial divides. It’s time for development that truly serves & enriches the community, not just the wealthy few!
I recently voiced concerns about the proposed development on Indiana Avenue, emphasizing the historical and ongoing challenges of urban renewal efforts and their impacts on historically marginalized communities. My intent was to highlight the deep-seated issues of gentrification and the erasure of cultural heritage, which often disproportionately benefit developers at the expense of the community’s original residents and their descendants.
In my commentary, I made a reference to the racial identity of the developers involved, assuming all were white. It has since come to my attention that this is not entirely accurate, and one of the lead developers does not identify as a white man. I apologize for this misidentification and any offense it may have caused. It’s a reminder of the importance of thoroughness and the complexities of racial identity, which I will be more mindful of in my future statements.
However, I believe the core of my message remains critical and valid. The essence of my concern is not diminished by this error—it’s about ensuring that development serves and enriches all community members, respects the area’s historical and cultural significance, and engages in practices that do not deepen existing societal divides. My hope is to see a future where projects on Indiana Avenue and similar communities nationwide are undertaken with a commitment to inclusivity, equity, and preservation of cultural heritage.
Let’s work towards development that genuinely considers and benefits the entire community, reflecting a diverse and collective vision for our urban spaces. I welcome the opportunity for open dialogue with all stakeholders involved in this project to explore how we can achieve these objectives together.
