    1. Sounds like the size of entertainment space at Eleven Park, that looks like won’t be happening. Wonder if Live Nation would have been the operator of that and have now moved on as well?

  1. Bummer to see the planned apartments disappear entirely but that is a gorgeous rendering and if it looks half as good once built, it’ll be a great addition to that area.

  2. Beautiful rendering. A bit disappointing that it’s been downsized height wise, but overall looks like a great addition. Georgia Street should be a pretty incredible corridor when the Signia, Circle Centre and this development come to fruition.

    1. They could go higher and add 10 floors of apartments (I would argue for 3-bedroom units designed specifically for the downsizing boomers who still need larger walk-in closets and want to be downtown).

    2. I agree. I was overall disappointed to see that the residential component was removed.

    3. I also wish they would add 10-12 floors and incorporate residential into this project. Combining residential and hotel space is done all the time. More residents downtown means more business for downtown establishments.

  3. Great for the development. Not great for the lack of residential. Downtown need more 24/7 life attributable to residents! Fortunately, downtown Indy has not been as hard hit as some other much larger well known cities — believe or not.

    The rendering of the “HOTEL’ is unappealing. One hope for more interesting architecture. Granted, the design should be appropriate for the historic context of the area, but it need not be a perfunctory effort.

    1. I’m not sure the rendering gives it justice – it’s apparently going to be the second ever Shinola hotel and they plan to model it after the existing one in Detroit, which has a gorgeous terracotta and brick exterior that I think will both fit the neighborhood and bring genuine architectural interest

  4. Nice project. The mid-size concert venue is a wonderful addition, perfect size too. Expanding over and south of those ugly and freight-train only tracks is a bonus. Looking at photos of the Detroit hotel it looks like it would be a perfect architectural fit, assuming the Indy project has a similar look and feel (yes, the rendering is a little bland.) Throw in an MLS team and stadium next door and you have one heck of a district. Go team!

  5. Booooo! Liked the previous proposal much better. It would actually have added significantly to the skyline. This development will not. And do we really need yet ANOTHER mid-size performance venue? No.

  6. Let’s all write Simon group to express the publics interest in this project and what we all would like to see. Adding 10 more floors of residential would be awesome. I was actually looking for a more sleek glass and modern design. Lets all email The Simons
