NASCAR PlazaLocally based Lauth had a big week. They announced plans for a 7.1-million-square-foot distribution park on 555 acres at Interstate 70 and State Road 39 near Plainfield. But lately the company has been getting more attention for its projects outside Indiana. The company broke ground this week on a 187,000-square-foot, LEED-registered office building in Las Vegas. And they've begun construction on NASCAR Plaza (shown here), a 20-story, LEED-registered office tower in Charlotte, N.C. What do you think of their work? Would you like to see a building like NASCAR Plaze here?

    I'm glad to see they are doing LEED registered buildings. Hopefully they can start doing that around here as well.

    I second Tony's comments... glad to see the LEED usage. Does anyone know what level of LEED they are aiming for? Since we have not seen much LEED activity locally, I am guess there aren't many tenants asking for it. Hopefully that will change in the very near future.

    From that angle, NASCAR Plaza looks as thrilling as the JW Marriot.

    The curvy part might have potential, but the tower is about as bland as you can get.

    Someone please tell them the 80s are over.

    Indy's lucky to have the headquarters two of the largest developers in the country: Duke and Lauth. Hopefully after the market lightens up they can do some large-scale hometown projects we can be proud of.

    Is one requirement of the LEED program that the building be unimaginitive and dull?

    Indy needs more visionary developers like Jaron Garrett.

    LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design.

    Jaron Garrett isn't a visionary, he takes the ideas of others (turning torso) and modifies them slightly.

    Wow, is Indy now exporting our brand of unimaginative, boring and bland architecure? Is there a name for it yet? How about the Indianapolis School?

    Lauth Rocks?!? WTF? Lauth's buildings are uninspired, lack quality craftsmanship, and they treat their subcontractors as disposable (ask anyone whose worked for them). In fact, ask anyone who is an employee. Lauth Sucks.

  1. These higher rates Co. e about only because physicians are now hospital employees. otherwise physicians couldn't charge these rates and share the windfall with the hospital. Community/rural hospitals probably not buying physicians practices and thus weren't getting the windfall anyway.

  2. The incentive for poor people to get themselves off public assistance and "no longer be poor" is even with help...they're STILL POOR! Being poor, even with some assistance, isn't all that pleasant. (I speak from experience) It's a stubborn myth that poor people, who are on public assistance, are sitting in the lap of luxury. You should try living on just those "freebies" that you mentioned and see how meager they actually are. By the way, I didn't mean you had to buy/own a puppy...just pet one. :)

  3. As near as I can tell the minority has ZERO constitutional obligation to offer a quorum to the majority. A requirement for quorum was inserted into the constitution so that tyrannical majorities could not simply shove through odious and objectionable legislation (which is exactly what they did.) By allowing a tyrannical majority to charge fines against the minority for exercising their constitutional prerogative to deny quorum the court as made a mockery of constitutional governance in the state of Indiana.

  4. The voters elected the Reps to make a vote not walk out on the vote. They had to the right to exercise their opinion and vote "no" to the bill. Let me ask you this if you walked out of your job for 5 straight weeks would you get paid? Would you even have a job to go back to? If any elected official walks out on the people they should be arrested for stealing tax dollars from the public. They were elected to do a job and not leave when the job gets stuff.

  5. I have been to several of their locations in Pennsylvania and always go in for 1 item and leave with a basket full of things. I'm very happy they decided on Indiana, now if only they would put the other store in eastside.
