Well said Keith Lash, “I would classify it as a career-legacy project. Not many people have an opportunity to work on that type of project. It’s a one-of-a-kind in the Indianapolis metro area, for sure.” I’m proud that work on the Village of WestClay is part of my career legacy too! It was the combination of Tom’s focus on correctness and detail with George’s energetic go-go-go. Definitely instructive for a young professional.
Truly a legacy for George & Tom. It is so often overlooked in today’s neighborhoods. The opportunity is still there and in many neighborhoods the resurgence is available. Great vision, with great execution.
Good story, nice to read this history. It is way above average for a community in Carmel, that’s for sure.
Upon moving to Indianapolis more than a dozen years ago, we checked out the development and thought it had all the charm of Peyton Place. We chose to buy elsehere.
There’s always a troll…
