I love Circle Centre when it’s busy at lunch time, but most of us women at the office don’t feel safe going to shop there after work. There is some security but not enough. If young people are going to congregate in malls, they need affordable, fun activities in which to engage so they are not blocking and scaring shoppers.
I agree. This was not the case 10 years ago and before but even though its not popular to say, our current politicians are not too good at helping in this regard. I don’t know that we want to be political here but the current crop of City leaders seem a little tone deaf when it comes to the mall. Most of my out of town friends all have had pleasant memories of the mall.
We need to return it to that state where it was and when everybody could enjoy it.
Tower time!!!!
Keep up the good fight!
A small Casino would be great.
Wow. This state so doesn’t need another casino. The ones we have are struggling. A downtown Indy casino would simply bleed off customers from Anderson and Shelbyville.
Why limit the make-over of this site to just one development company? That seems a bit arbitrary and short-sighted. Surely more than one firm submitted a “wow” concept worthy of implementation.
With all the housing downtown, furniture and household retail is really needed. CB2 would be a great addition for toung professionals living downtown. TJMax should move into the old Carsons’ space and add a HomeGoods similar to the Castleton store. Downtown is lacking these type of retail spaces.
The space still needs to be public and an urban space and gathering center. We don’t need it to housing. There are plenty of places to do that, the least of which would be the old City County Building.
Housing at the CCB? I can’t think of a building less suited for residential space than the CCB.
So unfortunate that Simon could not make the mall in their home city function.
Regarding security, it is not the responsibility to provide security for a private mall. Pointing fingers at politicians because the mall ownership does not provide adequate security is misplaced blame.
Security and safety is paramount. Congregating youth is concerning for many people and unconscious bias plays a role for all people. Certainly a busier mall in later hours would create a most comfortable atmosphere – a benefit to mall visitors, downtown Indy, and the city in general.
In addition to security outside the mall (a city responsibility), a concerted effort to effect long term improvements related to schools/education, employment, and housing would significantly help the city. Luxury apartments (are there any other kind perhaps?) in central Indy are fine, but what about affordable housing, safe neighborhoods, good schools — key items that may attract someone to live in the city. An ever increasing population with little likelihood of employment and educational success does not bode well for Indy/Marion County.
I agree with most but not all of what you said, in particular, the security responsibilities and who it belongs to. The safety of the city should fall on the hands of city officials and leaders. The Circle Center is obvious crucial to downtown and so in that regard, security is important and should be a top priority considering all the attention it gets from visiting convention goers
Derek C — DMD owns the land the mall sits on, the empty anchor building that was most recently Carsons, as well as the mall’s World of Wonders parking garage. The city has a direct stake in Circle Centre ownership and could make a case for more security if they wanted to.

That’s not impressive enough! Think Vegas!!!!
