Interesting building that could work in many places. It’s a shame, however, that the original cottage residential-style properties are being removed in BR. The point of BR was that it offered a more “home-grown” look and vibe. The “village” could have gone for a funkier version of Zionsville, keeping what was unique to the neighborhood while adding to it without destroying what made it interesting in the first place.
This is Precisely the positive development that Broadripple needs to support a rebirth of local restaurants and retailers to the area. Mass Avenue and fountain Square have benefited by the enormous daytime traffic within a mile of their location. On the other hand Broadripple, without sufficient daytime population, restaurants and retailers struggle in comparison. Approve this project and redevelop Broad Ripple HS into a Tech incubator and watch the village blossom into the Austin, TX of the Midwest!
Yeah, how is that “density” plan working for you Broad Ripple? Another idiotic development. It’s time to strip “Village” from the Broad Ripple now.
Based on the influx of office tenants, people to sustain businesses, and relatively healthy neighborhood economy, I’d say pretty great.
So funny, never heard of Greenwich VILLAGE in NYC?
Yes, another deal that will be pushed through without much thought given to it.
Make the Developer replace sideways on both sides of Ferguson Street, Re-pave Fergusion Street and repave the Alleyway -as part fo the Development Commitments.
Also -Lower the height &n Design the Exterior to look better.
So, Marcus would prefer we tell a developer to 10x their budget, do what a board of non-architecets thinks they should do, and tell people who want to spend their money making Broad Ripple better to deal with it?
This is why BRip is dying…. not because of the bars…
Those of you who are “anti more people living in your neighborhood”. I can understand that not everyone likes to live in a bustling city.
But can you just move to the suburbs? I mean, Indiana deserves to have at least on real city right?
This type of project is great for the village. It will open the door for more development of condos and high end users.
Oh boy, more condos and density. Fanning would support a two story outhouse, and the purpose of the BRVA is useless. Wasn’t Ms. fanning instrumental in the sell off of a portion of Broad Ripple Park? Yes, take the word “Village” out of the equation, that was lost long ago. Also, I see no way you can ever compare Broad Ripple to Fountain Ssqare.
Amen! Does she make Money off these getting this deals approved?
You are sadly mistaken and misinformed. And the personal attacks are inappropriate, shame on you.
More employees in the area, more people going to restaurants, bars, shops, no parking issues, cool design. Seems like a win to me. People will always complain about something. It’s 2020 y’all.
Can this building design be any uglier and non-distinct? Not against the development per se with some size, height, parking scale / restrictions… the aesthetics are just plain & boring…and with that size in the rendering, hardly appropriate for the neighborhood.
Progress proceeds with a few leading and others kicking and screaming behind. Design mods are possible, Ugly and beautiful are subjective. Indianapolis is not very dense. One building does not create density. More condos, more development and more traffic is perhaps not a bad thing. No condos, no development and no traffic means no growth, no life, no revenue and no future.
This is all about scale. This building would look great along 465 but doesn’t fit in in Broad Ripple, which is much more walkable and accessible than an office park. And what’s the point of building it out of wood if it looks like its built out of concrete and steel? Seems like if you want to make a statement (whatever the statement is), that the building should reflect what you stand for. This just looks like another glass and metal office building.
It is a shame we don’t have a local contractor who could source US timber.
