IU IncubatorIU is breaking ground today on a $10 million life-sciences and Internet-technology incubator in Bloomington. The new facility will be 40,000 square feet and is scheduled for completion by July. It will be built at 10th Street and the State Road 45/46 bypass. The school already has a 67,500-square-foot incubator downtown on the Central Canal. That facility is 98 percent occupied, with 23 tenants. What do you think of the new facility, which was designed by Indianapolis-based BSA LifeStructures?

    I don't get downtown as much as I used to. Do you have a picture of the building on the canal? I'm assuming the picture shown now (12:33pm 11/18) is the building planned for Bloomington.
    Thanks.

    BTW, the IUETC building on the canal was not designed / built for them -- It used to be Office Works, a commercial furnishings business.

    It is Indianapolis news becuase they have a current building on the Canal and it is being designed by BSA. Also, it's not like there is currently too much news to digest in Indianapolis that we can't have news from surrounding areas.

    As a contractor in Indianapolis it is nice to see current projects in surrounding areas.

    This is not meant to serve as an EffKay comment, rather is my take on seeing building news from areas surrounding Indianapolis and their impact on our local business environment.

  1. RKW's comments read like a modern "Chicken Little". As a Raintree resident for many years, "Yes, I'm ready for this." Matter of fact, I welcome The Farm because it's a development that compliments our town, brings new and desirable shopping & dining closer (specialty grocer, upscale shops, micro brew pub, etc), offers upscale condos for empty nesters who want to stay in Zionsville, is being planned and constructed by local, well-reputed firms and, of course, provides desirable non property tax benefits. We all knew the Pittman's were going to develop their property sooner than later. That one of the Pittman's will continue to live on the property helps assure The Farm will be everything promised. This also sets a standard for other developers as to the quality of future developments - which should keep an ugly Walmart at bay for decades. As we've no meglomaniac mayor, I seriously doubt Zionsville would ever aspire to over-priced statues or subsidized retail rents. And we already have a very nice public theater, the Zionsville Performing Arts Center, that meets our cultural needs quite nicely.

  2. Do we add (or subtract) these from the bounty we recieve from RTWFL, Daylight Savings Time, corporate tax giveaways, and the crack job IEDC is doing?? Or is Mike going to blame these on Mitch?

  3. Who makes Tater Tots? They would be a good sponsor, because $3 Million for the alleged "Greatest Spectacle In Racing" is taters. Tiny, tiny taters. But at least they are making up something of the losses accumulated over the years in this dying sport. Buttock in seat is certainly not doing it, nor eyeball on TV, as evidenced by the lack of both.

  4. We loved lakehouse and think the Arbor Village would be a great location. It is less than 2 miles from over 1000 rooftops in the 225,000 to over 1 million range. Many people could use the great fishers trail system to bike or walk there. Just an idea Scotty -- but maybe something closer to 3 Wiseman would good. The only microbrew in area is Ram (boring)

  5. True, it's an ESPN production, but ESPN is just another name for ABC Sports, or what used to be ABC Sports since ABC Sports no longer exists as a name. ESPN=ABC Sports= ESPN. ESPN is, according to Forbes "the world's most valuable media property" worth $40 billion. Despite that, they fired 400 people this week.
