Wellll…I say best of luck, truly. Not sure why they ever bothered putting fresh (and not attractive) paint on the outside of this dinosaur. This project has been and still sounds like it’s all over the place. Talk about spaghetti on the wall — maybe something will stick. So far it has not. One good sign here is the plan to take down all or some of the anchor stores — great start really. Given the retail landscape and demographics of the area it NEVER made any sense to try to repurpose the bulk of the bulky mall space– here or any other traditional super mall. Clear it out! Now THAT’S a start. I live 10 minutes away so my comments are truly heartfelt and not meant to be snarky. While the Lafayette Square area isn’t lifeless, it sure has a long long ways to go given many challenges: retail, residential, crime, and perception, which may be the biggest hurdle of them all. This latest plan still sounds like big dreams and big talk chasing reality. Again, best of luck.
This project could really be beneficial for the city. I would hope that the Hogette administration would see the vision as a must need to revitalize the area. There’s lots of TIF handouts to downtown Indy and surrounding neighborhoods but the Lafayette is a very unique neighborhood with lots of International flare. If the city backs this project to its fullest potential, this could actually be a tourist draw if done correctly. Lots of bigger cities have a Little Italy, Greek Town, China Town ect ect but if Indy could built a International entertainment district with loads of activities and development, this could be a game changer to attract talent, tourist and more economic development. The city should support this 100%
Its gonna be Great!!!!
Glad they added a housing component to the project because it would’ve never got off the ground without it.
Love the idea. When I first moved to Indy in the early 80’s I lived in the Deer Cross Apartments and it was a fun and lively area all the way down 38th to Lafayette Mall but that area, like many, has declined a lot since then. Hopefully, this along with other improvements along 38th can return it to its former glory.
I’ll believe it when I see it, but I’d be thrilled to see it.

This is going to be a fantastic laundering operation for some criminal enterprise.
Seriously, are Mickey and the IBJ a paid PR firm for this guy? This isn’t “news” or “journalism”. It’s National Inquirer UFO and Bigfoot territory. It was an amusing story the 1st time or 2. This guy is a pathological liar spouting whatever trendy thing he saw on TicTok last night, and there is Mickey “reporting” away.
This is a scam. Anyone remember the old airport project 6-7 years ago?
I would expect a “business journal” to press the owner to explain the wildly missed deadlines and concepts. Can he document exactly what paid cash upgrades he has put into the project so far? Are taxes and insurance current? Most importantly what taxpayer funded programs is this guy angling for?
