Interesting! We have high hopes for this building, if done right! Total demolition and a new 21st century design is the best solution. All retail on first floor is the other. The 1980’s facade is so dated and lacks aesthetic! The structure is a 1949 redo that restricts modern innovation.
Good luck Ersal
I agree I think this should be a total demolition and a nice redo with a mid to high rise with lots of retail on the first floor.
We definitely need more residential high-rise properties downtown.
I have always thought it was odd that Ersal as a developer has been so harshly criticized by a large number of people in this town. As a developer, he operates exactly like every developer in this city, yet he is routinely attacked with particularly vicious venom that other developers don’t receive. Could it be he is an immigrant?
I’m just impressed the big time developer has finally started paying his home property taxes on time consistently the last few years.
No. It’s because he was among the first to expect the City to fund everything for him…now everyone does that.
I’m rooting for Ozdemir to convince the City to stop closing the Circle to traffic.
If you need to use the Circle to get around downtown you should probably not be driving downtown.
You are correct Chris!
Why? It’s not a major thoroughfare and the foot traffic skyrockets every time it’s closed to cars. If you’re using the Circle as a key thoroughfare to get around Downtown, you’re doing it wrong.
Y’all have apparently never driven south through downtown at evening rush…especially since Capitol is down 2 lanes south of Maryland and Penn is down 1 south of Ohio. West, East, Penn, and Capitol are all rush hour parking lots.
Sliding around the Circle and down Meridian in light traffic at 15-20mph was heavenly by comparison.
1) Penn isn’t “down to one lane” south of Ohio. There may be some temporary restrictions from construction, but that’s not a normal condition. This is a bad-faith talking point.
2) Capitol is three lanes south of Maryland, not two.
3) There’s never going to be a situation in which Downtown because an easy place to drive through and a lovely place to walk in. These are mutually exclusive. At worst, Downtown traffic gets mildly inconvenient for about 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the evening. People really need to suck it up and stop thinking that the City owes them a fast commute back to the suburbs. It doesn’t.
This building takes up a quarter of the frontage on Monument Circle and has no real streetfront activation. This is potentially very good news.
Rooftop bar, restaurant, and mixed space on the ground level? Yes please.
it should be another 40-50story building preferably all hotel and retail. 35 years is long enough for one america tower about tallest building.
The Salesforce tower is the tallest building in the city.
