A suburban motel “the building’s design, which called for the structure to be complementary to the Emrich Plaza convenience store and Marathon gas station located on the lot directly to its south” without any urban context. One hopes that at the very least there may be a sidewalk for the price conscious traveler to use; if not, they may have to drive to Lucas Oil Arena or other downtown venues so close but without a pleasant walking path oh so far.
The intersection of Morris and West Street, at I70 is a nightmare already. Both sides of Morris narrow to one lane when cars park in front of the homes on Morris, all while that one lane, if east bound, is at a standstill if somebody is trying to turn into the gas convenience store. They can’t turn due to stacked/stopped cars at the light, trying to turn north, trying to get onto I70, while its at a stand still. And they are going to add a hotel that enters and exits there too? I get it Mr Alexander has a stake in the area, but he of all people should know whats going to happen. They are making a nightmare for all who live in the area. People already fly down the neighborhood streets to try to get around the grid locked traffic during rush hour. I am all for progress, but lets do a bit of forward thinking too. We all know, they are going to jam it thru, and suffer consequences later. Just like the apartments at S. Meridian and Morris, that were built so close to the corner of the intersection, where they made the lanes too narrow for two wider vehicles, and made it impossible to turn south if somebody ignores that white line (meaning don’t pull forward of this line). Like I said……progress with NO forward thinking. Ugg
If I plop the little Google guy down at the West/Morris intersection, you can barely tell that you’re even in a city. West Street was engineered to be a mega-highway. In fact, I might be wrong, but I think at one point it was going to be another freeway, completely boxing in downtown Indy.
You seem vastly more concerned about cars getting through in an area that is barely one mile from Monument Circle. If you live in the area, do you think that parking lots, high-speed traffic, and hotels that look like they would sit at the side of the freeway in Lebanon are going to make that neighborhood more desirable? If you wanted to go everywhere by car, why not move to Fishers or Avon or about 90% of metro Indianapolis?
What Lauren said. I know that neighborhood is trying to reboot and is making some progress, but to be frank, it’s going to be really hard to do that without burying the highway below grade or some sort of major project that we all know the state of Indiana wouldn’t either pay for or allow.
Who am I to tell investors how to spend their money but this project isn’t appealing at all. Im not arguing that Indy doesn’t need more hotels to accommodate visitors for events in the city but Lucas Oil Stadium lacks true mix use development around the surrounding area. Lucas Oil Stadium seems slightly outdated in design compared to the new stadiums built in other markets. Besides the retractable roof and large retractable window, the stadium lacks a true sports district surrounding it. It literally just sits to itself with nothing of true significance around it but the convention center to the north is where everything is located.
1) It was built in the midst of a brown filed area.
2) I understand why they cocked it diagonally on the site, but it wastes a lot of space making it dead and empty right around the stadium.
Ugly as hell, good lord. We should have a great, walkable sports district around the stadium, not cheap garbage.
100 percent agree. This is not an attractive build around stadium. Looks very suburban. Could have dual branded this hotel in a design congruent that of a downtown stadium district and this is not it.
This is south of the freeway. North? Yes.
Shame on all involved in this monstrosity.
This is as ugly as the Tru by Hilton at Illinois and Russell, opposite the main post office and Lucas Oil. It too is a Prince Alexander design project – cheap and ugly!
This is one ugly part of town, sad because Lucas Oil generates so much traffic and convention/even business. Stadium already getting outdated, and the neighborhood around it is and always has been quite sad — parking lots that are mostly empty, minimal landscaping, and absolutely no “urban” feel or vibe. It is extremely utilitarian, and, did I say, a pretty ugly space? Out. Dated.
The house I was born in back in the 1950s had the same kind of fence as depicted in this rendering. Mom hated it, said it lacked “class.”
LOL. Downtown is the new suburb. When you build something like this, it kills any real urban development in the future.
Ugly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
