A local developer has a new plan for a prime Lockerbie
parcel where ambitious development proposals have fizzled in the past, IBJ reported in print and at IBJ.com. The Whitset
t Group wants to build a mix of 190 affordable and market-rate
apartments, 44,000 square feet of retail and office space, and more than 300 mostly underground parking spaces at the northwest
corner of College Avenue and Michigan Street. The $27 million project calls for three buildings, ranging from three to five
stories, on three-quarters of a city block. The project, which would take at least two years to build, would require approval
from the Indianapolis Historic Preservation Commission. Each of the buildings would have apartments and retail space and would
be oriented toward a newly reopened, tree-lined and pedestrian-focused Cincinnati Street. The architect is locally based A3
Design. Click on the renderings for a larger version. Read the full story here. (IBJ.com subscription required.)

I estimated about three-fourths of the block based on the project also taking over the unfinished foundations for the Lockerbie Park project, but in retrospect it may be closer to two-thirds of the block.
On your second question, the bus in the rendering is actually on Michigan. The tree-lined corridor is Cincinnati Street. But you did hit on something: the developer is exploring the possibility of making College two ways from Mass to Market.
