  1. Very good density and it’s a good buffer on a site next door to a huge office complex/parking garage. It’s just steps from the Red Line, and there is lots of public greenspace nearby…the CC basketball court complex and the South Street Park. With all due respect to Ms. Williams, it doesn’t need to look like a suburban development with lots of yard.

    1. The site is not flat by any means, so the level elevation shown is probably not going to be typical. A more responsive plan that acknowledges existing (historic) street alignments would be a good start.
      Since many trees will need to be removed – a comprehensive landscape plan would also be welcome.

    2. Would love for the developers to get creative and find a way to keep the mature trees along the roadway as much as possible

    1. I agree with Bill Browne also. We should expect more from the developers and their architects. This is just a typical suburban look – bland, uninspired and totally monotonous.

    1. But why the devil can’t we have anything blasted nice in this darn town? For crying out loud, this is one block from Elevance, the country’s #2 health insurance company, and 2 blocks from the headquarters of the world’s largest and most successful pharmaceutical company as measured by market cap, with 12k employees and thousands of them millionaires! Adjacent to the popular Virginia Avenue, a few blocks’ walk in one direction to downtown Indy and likewise in the other direction to the popular Fountain Square business district, and this is the pathetic garbage they are actually going to build! What on earth?
      This is so maddening! This ain’t blasted Whitesdown! Cheap cheapskates! What the heck is wrong with them? Where is the darn leadership? What about the blasted C-suite execs at LLY and Elevance — are they totally asleep at the wheel? Do they not know how badly this junk keeps them from attracting the best talent to Indy? This is exactly how Indianapolis wastes its best opportunities: we celebrate that something is finally being built, then quietly accept a low-ambition product that permanently undercuts the value of the site. Would Apple let this garbage get built next to their headquarters? Where is the Mayor?
      “You may have a good job here, but you will not have a great urban life here.” Put that on a billboard next to the turkey and on two more…one each next to Elevance and the Lilly headquarters buildings. Do we want to ever be a real city again? Apparently we lack the standards, confidence, taste and design leadership to demand better. Why do the civic leadership clowns not demand excellence? The question is not whether this site should be developed. Of course it should. The question is whether Indianapolis has enough civic self-respect to require something worthy of the location, or are we all just clowns? Seriously!

    2. Have you not seen Chatham Park apartments/condos a short way north on East Street? Or Wesley Place in the 1700 block of North Illinois? We do have local developers who built decent looking buildings in the past few years.

    3. We should fast track this! Possibly, we add a basement since the property will need dug up.

    4. Paul, I’m reading this and thinking about old man Smithers who runs the haunted amusement park and would have gotten away with it if it wasn’t for those Blasted! meddling kids

  2. It would be nice to see something more like the quality condos on St. Joseph between Alabama and Ft. Wayne or even the quality look of the ones at 12th and Alabama. Please something better than something so ordinary.

    1. The condos along East St off 10th are gorgeous… I could see something similar selling out immediately in this spot
