  1. It’s there own private land. You’re not screaming at the hotels for building 4-7 stories in the stadium area. You want this gathering source to sit on 23 floor high stilts or something. Until we change our residential living habits, remove parking development car ordinance requirements, and have more people overall in this state…we’re not getting minimum 10 story buildings let alone 25. Hahaha.

    1. Everything you said isn’t totally accurate. Nashville’s metro population is similar in size to Indys metro. The entire population of both states are not too far apart as well, yet Nashville continues to build skyscrapers all over downtown. Nashville makes a demand to build large hotels and residential properties to accommodate the robust tourism industry there. Indy needs to take a page out of Nashville’s play book and build large mix use developments to entertain tourist. There needs to be more to do downtown after attending conventions or sporting events than just going out to eat or a few bars. More live entertainment and even some adult entertainment is much needed downtown Indy. Building high rises attracts people and gives the city a cool factor and BIG city feel.

      High rise buildings being built ( 400 feet or taller ) gives the city a
      cool vibe. It shows progress, Pride, and commitment to our city.
      People always remember a city’s skyline. Always!!

      ** Also agree the downtown needs more entertainment and exhibits.
      Downtown Nashville has an abundance of both.
      A sizable portion of Circle Center should have been turned into
      exhibit space. Flee markets, inner active Indy Car exhibits, arts & crafts,
      Beer and Wine distillers. Many more possibilities.

      I remember when downtown Indianapolis had a very vibrant
      entertainment & bar scene. It was awesome.

  2. Kevin agreed. But you only focused on my population comment..none of the actual policy stuff that would allow, push, urge, force more developers into building denser.

  3. Kevin P., when you say adult entertainment what are you referring to? I hope you don’t believe we need more strip joints, I believe the Red Garter meets those needs.
