Hendricks seems to be the most thorough and transparent high quality developer we’ve ever had in Indy! Good luck to them and the project!
Efforts to destroy the cities established interconnected network of skybridges and tunnels by arbitrarily eliminating and converting enclosed skybridges to “open air” is very misguided and nonsensical.
Indianapolis created this connected network to attract and retain business, conventions, & events to our city during the harsh weather seasons.
Having worked and planned events in downtown Indianapolis in the December thru March months, these enclosed interconnections are vital and necessary.
+1. Attended several of the large kids travel sports tournaments that take over the entirely of the Convention Center and LOS. Being able to stay indoors and go to the Convention Center is a positive that out of state folks look at as a reason to stay downtown.
Most urban designers will tell you those sky bridges are anathema to good urban planning. They kill the foot traffic at street level. They create dark dirty places underneath that never get any cleansing rain.
They are like the mullet haircut of urban design, useless and outdated.
I like Hendricks, but I’m wary of destroying the interconnected downtown walkways, which are a rare and appreciated amenity. If I can enter from the TJ Maxx near my office, I can get to my seats in Lucas Oil Stadium without going outside or needing a coat or umbrella. I can get within a few feet of so many other places, including Victory Field. I wish that system could have been improved and sanitized rather than given up.
You do this as you pass by businesses and store fronts that would welcome the foot traffic.
Might as well build an Interstate downtown… Oh wait we already did and it’s taken 50 years for the city to recover from that bit of “urban renewal”.
I’m hopeful that most of the entrances to the place are not like the rendering of the Illinois and Washington St. entrance shown in this article. If not, oxygen tanks and EMTs need to be located at them.
Your mobility concerns will be addressed with ADA compliance.
I guess “Wholesale Works” is out?!? That would continue the tradition of Iron Works and Bottleworks.
“Traction Yards” is a little bit of a stretch, since the original Traction terminal was a couple blocks away, but it is distinct.
Has there ever been a large scale multi-use development like Circle Centre that has had to be ripped down and rebuilt from scratch in less than 30 years?
The Hoosier Trolley Company has been restoring abandoned Interurban cars for years in northern Hamilton county. It would be nice to see one of them with its own permanent display within the property. Talk about authenticity!
Not sure why portions of the mall could be maintained. The glass arcade is beautiful design feature what a waste to destroy. The enclosed mall does provide the enclosed connection to all the hotels and convention center not sure why a portion of this could be maintained. We live in a cold climate and providing shelter in inclement weather conditions is a must. There needs to be a compromise in the design to keep portions of the existing mall to maintain the walkway systems in the downtown and not destroy in its entirety.
