  1. Looks like a solid plan. I would hope that Lots 13 and 14 on the riverfront be sub-dividable and designated as “hospitality” sites to accommodate restaurants, bars, and small entertainment venues. Considering most everything in the Levee District will be all work, there needs to be places to “play” after-hours while admiring the downtown skyline.

    1. Those lots sit about 30 feet below the current levee. Roof top dining might give you downtown views.

    2. If it’s in floodplain it’s probably going to be a park and greenspace. It’s too costly to build in those locations.

    3. The 30 foot levee everything sits behind that the “The Levee” is named after, obviates the flood plain requirements.

  2. After 4 names for this site since it was the original Chevy Plant in the early 20th century, the Levee is one of the worst names that could be proposed!
    Ambrose was the smart one by selling and running with the money.
    This plan by IEDC shows no creativity in design, or understanding of the context of the site. The archaic grid layout of streets appears as a classic suburban afterthought of isolation from the adjacent neighborhoods. Being behind and below the real levee brings out memories of the 1913 flood that devastated the Valley neighborhood.
    Good luck to Elanco!

  3. The name change is good.
    Sorry to say that it looks a lot like a traditional office park (anywhere).
    I miss the original multi use design approach…
    It offered a lot more to the Westside and downtown overall.

  4. Someone needs to explain to me why division St isn’t just straightened out so “Area B” is a buildable lot? Nobody is buying that. Maybe there’s a great reason. If not…

    1. Division St should be extended to Washington St (at the Zoo and future Blue Line stop), as originally planned.
