Highrise time!!!!!!!!!! About time!!!!!
Go back to the 21C hotel. It was a wonderful design and use.
if I had a say in what should be developed on the site, I would go bold and unique. I would make city hall into a wax museum with characters mainly of Indiana Hoosier decent and nationally know figures. All from political, musical and sports figures past and present. Sort of like the wax experience in Las Vegas. Or it could be turned into a really cool life science museum of some sort that’s very interactive. Irsay also is looking for the city to support a place to showcase all his neat artifacts and collection of things. He said if Indy doesn’t provide a nice shiny building to show off, then he’ll look to our AFC rivals in the south Nashville! As for the parking lot, I would have some sort of anchor store like a Amazon store, Target or furniture store at the bottom, the next 4 floors would be a cafeteria of some sort, a daycare for workers who’s company occupies floors 5-8 then on top of all this, a residential tower of 15-20 stories. So a building about 20-30 stories tall with a true mix use with everything from living, working, cafeteria, daycare for employees and a furniture store on the first floor. Now that’s getting the most out of a building.
Too small!!!! 50 floors!
A wax museum but built in the style of Healer – *that* would be amazing. https://www.ibj.com/articles/funding-perpetuates-surprises-at-citys-most-unusual-venue?navigation=this-week-sidebar
If and when the city-county government vacates its existing 28 story home, it should move back into the old city hall with a mid-rise addition and underground garage on the site if that surface parking lot. With such a move, taxpayers are likely to save more than if the city builds an “all new” structure to house its necessary functions.
The best use is a new city county building with a connection to old city hall. Old city hall could be restored for the departments with the largest contact with the public and the new office building the remainder.
Really wish the 21C happened!
For an estimated cost of $36 to $55 million to stabilize and renovate the old city hall building, just tear it down and put up a nice new high rise building on the site in conjunction with the parking lot sale. It would be ridiculous to spend that kind of money on a building that old with limited use. Take a lot of pictures of it to hang in the new building to humor the preservationists.
