The city's Metropolitan Development Commission on Feb. 20 approved a Wisconsin developer's plan for a $30 million apartment and retail project to be built on the site of the former Woodfield Centre retail strip at 86th Street and Keystone Avenue.

The proposal from Hendricks Commercial Properties calls for 36,000 square feet of ground-level retail space and 120 high-end apartments. It had met resistance from the Nora-Northside Community Council, which objected to the building's height and its closeness to 86th Street.

Dubbed Ironworks at Keystone Village, the project should come out of the ground this year if the City-County Council approves the plans at its March 25 meeting, said Mike Young, the local attorney representing Hendricks.

Young said the vacant Woodfield Centre was demolished in the last 30 days.

    I can understand some of the concerns of the Nora Council, but this project is a step in the right direction for this property and area.

  1. Saw the Indy Men's Chorus "Music of Gilbert & Sullivan" at the Indiana Historical Society on Sunday evening.

  2. Temporary workers are not "tools" they are people and companies that keep large amounts of temp staff are cheating.

  3. I miss having them around. I hope one of their stores is in the general Meridian/86th Street area. I will make good use of it.

  4. The Fringe! Plus, the simple fact that there are so many local faves in such close proximity to each other.

  5. I remenber, watching the toll road, being built, through South Bend, when I was 10 years old. I believe, back then that it was estimated, that the toll road, would be paid for in 20 years and then it would be free. I am now 71, what happened? Since the power is in the people, by that, I mean that, we the people are in total control of everything. I, suggest that no one ever use the toll road again, let it go broke. We the people can control the price of everything, from groceries to gas, if we would just do it. If we don't pay the asking price, the sellers will lower the price and if we wait awhile, they will lower the price to what we accept as reasonable. I would like to know why a highway like interstate 94, is so well maintained, a much better highway, than the toll road, but has no tolls. I would also like to know why, a sitting governor, with a term limit, maximum of eight years, can lease, public property, for 75 years. Even though I have transponders in both of my trucks and will not be affected by the increase, I have been and will contine to avoid using the toll road. I make many trips from northern Indiana to Chicago, every year, and I prefer the better highway, I94!
