    1. Agreed. Greater density and mixed-use are essential for more affordable housing that people actually want to live in. Bonus points if located near one of the new BRT lines!

  1. I think the last high rise built in Indy was on the old Market Square site and “required” massive taxpayer subsidies. I’m highly confident we won’t be seeing high rises on any of these sites that are all a couple miles outside the Mile Square. These neighborhoods would benefit more from well designed and properly located low- to mid-rise buildings than a tower surrounded by open space.

    1. Thanks Leslie. I found this in the 24th & Winthrop RFP: “ The Site is currently zoned I-2 Light Industrial, a legacy of past uses that would be
      incompatible with current desired end-uses. The City is requesting proposals for 1-,
      2-, 3- or 4-unit residential redevelopment of the Site that will align with existing
      plans.” So, the City is asking for proposals for residential development, which is currently illegal per the City’s zoning ordinance. Why wouldn’t the City change the zoning to allow the type of development that they desire for the property before asking developers to submit proposals?

    2. It may be because there is a pretty wide range of zoning categories, with lots of options even within subcategories like “mixed-use.” Whatever that site is rezoned as depends on the specifics of the chosen developer’s proposal.
