  1. Looks overwhelming for that neighborhood, and especially that particular spot, though I know that opinion may seem parochial to some. Wonder how much city incentives they got? Then trace back how much these developers gave in political contributions. Wonder how well these will sell if the police can’t tamp down the occasional shootings just 200 feet from the site.

  2. Another nail in the coffin of what was once the Village of Broad Ripple. It had so much character and charm. I was a small boy living on Haverford and remember my mother pushing a stroller along 62nd St. The train engine was still in Broad Ripple Park in those days and we used to play on it. Wow…that was a long time ago!!

  4. Things don’t remain the same. Yes, there have been shootings, but please identify any major city where shootings do not occur.

    One might note that recent mass shootings have not been in major cities by the way; shooting may take place anywhere.

    Certainly the project is not for everyone.

  5. Looks like a normal project for a city. And if one is familiar with peer cities across the nation, many much more pleasant and progressive and attractive for growth than Indy, the scale of this project is typical and not unusual.

    1. I think this looks great. Varying heights and facade colors throughout. Bring it on! BR needs more development like this. The proposed new office buildings look great as well. You don’t like it, move up to Disneyland in Hamilton County. Indy just trying to keep up with so many peer cities that are passing us up.

  6. Yes, often times communities that survive have to grow and evolve. Indianapolis and Mayor Hogsett have been gentrifying central Indianapolis, pushing people out into communities with food deserts and lack of public transportation. They may be “beautifying” Indianapolis, but they have been avoiding creating or improving programs to help our communities.

  7. Great project, implies confidence in the economics of the area, will make properties on the strip worth more. If these folks are willing to invest the capital, take the risk I will welcome it, personally.

  8. incentives drives tax base increases, building new to add density supports all businesses and infrastructure. long overdue for a “dead” spot in BR that’s not generating anything but problems (and barely nostalgia)
