Eagle LandingTwo local developers are pitching retailers on a proposed 700,000-square-foot power center in Brownsburg. The massive project seeks to capitalize on a growing population center and the newly constructed Ronald Reagan Parkway. It would sit at the northeast corner of Interstate 74 and Ronald Reagan Parkway. Plans call for retail including three anchors of more than 100,000 square feet each, several restaurants, office space and two hotels. Local developers Eureka! Ventures and Thompson Thrift are partnering on the project, which is tentatively called Eagle Landing. Plans call for groundbreaking next summer and completion by Fall 2010.

  • How exciting!! Brownsburg can have their very own Applebees, Bed Bath & Beyond and Old Navy!
  • Well, this is the first good news that we've seen in a while for people who love sprawl, so I guess that's something...
  • It's about time someone develop that area. It's been overlooked for a long time. O'Reilly speedway is a stone's throw away from this. Plus, from Lafayette square to Brownsburg there is now retail. I believe this development will be highly successful and the whole area around it will boom.
  • The traffic on 56th street, a two lane road, is already out of control. Why must every corn field be developed in this area? Is it so difficult to drive 10 minutes to Avon to shop?
  • I agree Tony, but hate to see the farm land go. Maybe the announced development will get the highway contractors to finish that interchange and 56th st so we can finally be finished with construction on 74. It will also take pressure off 267 interchange (horrible traffic).

    BTW- Why do all westside road construction projects always happen in May???
  • Hey now, Sophia...we already have an Applebees in the Burg :)

    The sprawl is inevitable, but I will gladly welcome some new shopping and eating establishments in Brownsburg.
  • There are plans to develop 56th into 5 lanes. But, somehow the Hendricks county powers have progressed slowly on this.The county has needed a north-south road for decades. And, yes it is very very difficult to drive to Avon from anywhere north of 56th.
  • I'll believe five lanes when it happens - I've heard about it since 2001. I believe this will be finished 2 years before that project is supposed to be finished unless they have moved up the deadline to meet this sprawl.
  • I would stay as far away from Thompson Thrift as posable. If it's the same compeny. there Robbing Terre Haute blind. them along with the Gibsons. there the new Mafea in Terre Haute.
  • Really more shopping? I welcome the tax base, but hate the fact that we cannot drive more than 30 min to go anywhere. Are we all that lazy?
  • Bob,

    Take your time when you type.

    Translation of typo's ....

    posable = possible
    compeny. = company,
    there = they're
    them = Them
    there = They're
    Mafea = mafia
  • Looks like I'm not the only one who hit the sauce tonight! :lol:

    That or Bob is as dumb as Tony George, sho also was borned in Terre haute.

    :gomers:
  • I don't mind farm land going away. If any developer is spending money in this economy, then we better welcome the investment. That farm land was probably just bringing a Fed subsidy anyway.
  • You may have noticed that the siteplan says Eagles Landing, instead of Eagle Landing. The developers now are leaning toward the singular eagle... Which do you prefer?
  • Cory, does anyone really ever pay attention to a(nother) big-box shopping center name?
  • Nah, just me. When I was in Florida, I wrote a story about subdivision names after some developer called their project Redneck Acres. Classy.
  • LMAO. Put that story up sometime...we all need a good laugh.

    Maybe some developers will get jarred out of Olde Towne Station Eagle Centre Highland Woods Parke Place Cherry Creek Landing mode. (Did I hit 'em all?)
  • I think either...

    The Promenade Shoppes at Eagles Landing Harbour Towne Centre

    or

    High Street Marketplace Eagles Landing at The Avenues Streets Esplande

    have a nice ring to them.
  • OK Cory...you're NOT the only one paying attention.

    How about a Property Lines reader contest for the lamest strip mall/power center/big box acres development name?

    Here's my entry: Asphalt Acres Big Box Power Center

    Oh, wait. That's too descriptive.

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

  2. 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!

  3. Coming from her background,she should be used to those kinds of advances! Menard probably figured it was ok to tuck a buck!

  4. I'm still waiting for the list of available, high quality apartments in the Village.

  5. This criminal masquerading as a lawyer obviously has serious issues. He’s been proven by his own testimony to be a pathological liar and probably has a personality disorder as he seems to be constructing a reality around himself. He places no value on truth, honesty or loyalty as evidenced by what he has done to his clients and his own family. And by the demands and lies he has made in court, it is evident he feels entitled to do and say whatever suits his purpose and everyone else is expected to nod obediently and believe him because he is, after all, Bill Super Lawyer; or BS lawyer for short. This millionaire wanna-be no longer owns anything of value; he squandered it and put everything he had into foreclosure. He has no money, house, car, boat or vacation home left to show for what he earned or what he stole. He’s just another loser without morals who will be doing time. I’m certain all of his courtroom shenanigans are antagonizing his poor victims. As Lamar said, his behavior and claims in court have been outrageous. The judge needs to be more than concerned; he needs to be judicial and end this nonsense.
