This is a really exciting investment for the Downtown area. Nice redevelopment of a former industrial site. Great location.
Ditto
At least it will be an easy adaptive reuse when it inevitably fails.
Why would you think it would fell?Its always some local person being the most negative about anything the city tries to do that’s positive.Indy gets major conventions and sporting events and to have something extra to do after the events besides walk around the monument or the canal, this is perfect for added downtown amenities.I have no idea where you’re getting your stats from that something like this will fail downtown Indy……
Show me where on the doll that I hurt you. Similarly, I don’t know where you’re getting your stats from that it will be successful. By the way, convention economies are a joke.
This seems to be a land use upgrade from what was previously located on this land, but let’s be clear: this is destination entertainment, not an element of a neighborhood. Just look at where it is, completely boxed in by the river, Lilly Tech and major transportation arteries. The idea that it will “connect the river to the Old Southside and Stadium Village neighborhoods just to the east” is non-sense. Connecting those neighborhoods to the river would at least require this project to be on the same side of the river.
The designers don’t even seem to take seriously the project’s riverfront context. The siteplan shows a portion of the parking lot located between the river and the building. Cities that are serious about engaging their riverfront don’t allow design decisions like that.
So much negativity on Westside development. This is a great project that WILL help the area. Get some ambition people!
This project is definitely an upgrade on the current land use, but get real: ambitious this project is not. It’s a parking lot and a golf/entertainment center that barely relates to its riverfront context at all. Go look at what other cities are doing with their riverfront areas to understand what ambitious riverfront development looks like.
fyi: Indy DPW out for bid this fall for multi-million dollar upgrade to West Morris corridor running from Harding W to Eagle Creek; to include curbs, sidewalks and landscaping for neighborhood to the W of Lilly Tech
I hope the operator will resist the likely impulse to cut down all the riverbank trees in this vegetated riparian zone. That’s what the private operator of the public Coffin course did in 1994 along White River south of 30th Street because he wanted golfers to have a less obstructed view of the Indianapolis skyline. Some years later the CIty had to come in and install expensive riverbank retention because those dozens of beautiful mature trees had anchored the riverbank and held the soil w/ their root systems. Another one of Mayor Goldsmith’s privatization failures. I believe that both the Coffin and RIverside courses were both closed by the City last year due to poor utilization.
Murray R,
Since when do out of towners spending thousands of dollars correspond to convention economies being a “joke”. Obviously you are not a downtown business owner. BTW, I’ll take fries with the meal your serving.
I disagree with Murray on most things, but he’s right on this one. Convention and tourism-based economies are really fragile, as we’ve experienced with the COVID-19 pandemic. For a city that doesn’t have the ability to collect sales tax (we’re largely limited to property and income tax), we’ve spent an awful lot on attracting out-of-towners rather than making Indianapolis an attractive place to live. We’ve also replaced a lot of unionized, high-paying jobs with low-wage service industry jobs while simultaneously sprawling outward instead of making ourselves denser. This has been a one-two punch of declining income tax revenues and low property values.
