Great location for a major satellite community with a rail connection to the central business district. The rail right of way is already there. It would be a huge public/private development.
It would be too expensive for the people who would live there to afford, and poorly located for the people who could afford it to want to.
Take out the rail component, and you have a run of the mill slum.
This might be a great ovation for a prison or criminal justice center. Centrally locate…on a bus route and close to 2 interstates. Just sayin’…
Justice campus is already being built which will have a jail and courts. No longer need a space for this need.
Given its location along the Interstate, proximity to downtown, along 38th Street – this needs to be a regional development. Whether commercial or institutional, I dont know. But its a generational opportunity that Im sure will be squandered.
Make half of it a solar farm and offer free electricity for 15 years to businesses that re-develop the area and hire/train locals in need.
I can’t think of a better place in central Indiana (the International Marketplace) where a sporting complex featuring a sport with significant international appeal (soccer) could play a pivotal role in revitalizing the area. If this site is not being considered for Indy Eleven’s $500M investment, I’d love to know why.
I 100% agree with Adam. This would be a perfect location for the Indy Eleven development.
From a transportation perspective of getting thousands of people into one spot, this location is terrible. Minimal public transportation service, no sidewalks on the major thoroughfare, etc. etc.
Agree 100% Adam C. The majority of the people who live or frequent that area grew up with soccer or football as they refer to it in their native countries. Infrastructure could definitely be improved or established like new sidewalks. Don’t let that stop them from considering it.
Indy continues to grow as a midwest technology hub. …I’m thinking it would be a perfect spot to create a ‘technology’ campus. It’s easy access from most areas of the city. The increase in the employment pool would be a boost for area businesses.
I also agree with Adam C!
I believe it is in Atlanta where a developer took a declining mall and turned it into an international shops/stores with restaurants and even entertainment. Jungle Jim’s would be perfect for one of the anchor stores.
The Burlington there closed a few months back. They should really update their website. Shoppers World is the last remaining anchor.
I also agree with Adam. Given the proximity to 465 and 65 along with Indy Go bus service and access from 38th street and Lafayette road, it would make sense for the Indy Eleven to invest in this location. Lots of room to expand as well.
Roger Penske?
I have long thought that Lafayette Square needs to be redeveloped. That area is becoming an international center thus the bigger building could be turned into an international market.
As well lets build the new soccer stadium there. Plus a couple of hotels. This would add to the attraction that IMS brings as well. Penske might be one to do this.
I think offices or the Indy Eleven is a great idea. Obviously, retail isn’t successful there anymore. It’s also a great place for churches who don’t want to own and or/buy a building of their own. Several yeatrs ago I went there and it felt like a ghost town. An indoor playgound would also be awesome but I don’t know if the people in that area could afford it.
What is with this Indy 11 pipe dream?
Sad to remember this was once a thriving mall.
How much is it going for I have a wide of ideas the the community need and would want
Indy overall needs more jobs, especially higher paying jobs. This is a prime location for access to all major cities in the Midwest. I think our city officials need to do more to draw more quality businesses here. Leveling the mall and redeveloping it for a top rated company or companies would be great. But they’ve even struggled with waterside.
Better yet, let’s lure an international company. We really need to grow in that area. The international footprint would be a draw

I want to buy this mall cause God has already gave me the vision to build a church and a pantry. Also give services to battered women and men and also help with out reach to make the community better. I will also give youth something to do as far as worship and helping feed them and helping with school. I just need to find out how to reach the owner within the next two weeks. Also I’m preparing to bring a Bojangles chicken franchise to help with jobs. It time for change on the Westside. This will be a non denomination church that is fully funded from myself where tithes and offerings go to the pantry. There are so many churches that rob God by pocketing money taking from the poor. I hope i can at least get a Amen!
I don’t look at poor I believe in rebuilding and if you can’t see the capabilities of that area then I don’t know what to tell you. I hoping to work with IMPD to be able to bond together to make the westside better
How can the owner be reached? This mall is ripe for people who want to revolutionize people’s lives in this area!! Without changing people’s lives and their thinking, it’ll be difficult to maintain whatever businesses come in here!
