Herron site might be used for new school: Charter campus proposed for soon-to-be vacated spot

January 10, 2005

Joanna Taft isn’t content helping to develop emerging artists. She also wants to help develop art patrons-and the historic neighborhood around what will soon be the former home of IUPUI’s Herron School of Art at Pennsylvania and 16th streets. So Taft, executive director at the nearby Harrison Center for the Arts, is working on plans for a charter high school to occupy a portion of the space IUPUI will vacate when it moves the art school to the campus proper…

Plan for psychiatric hospital revisited: Daniels team wants review of Larue Carter replacement

January 17, 2005

A plan to build a new state psychiatric hospital near the IUPUI campus might wind up back on the drawing board. The new administration of Gov. Mitch Daniels wants to take a hard look at the freshly minted proposal to build a replacement for Larue D. Carter Memorial Hospital off of 16th Street on the near-north side. The hospital currently occupies part of an old Veterans Affairs complex on Cold Spring Road. Last month, the state unveiled a plan to…

Partners bet on Capitol block: Shiel Sexton teams up with Gregory & Appel to redevelop old factory

January 24, 2005

An Indianapolis contracting company is deepening its near-north-side roots-and exploring another avenue of the real estate business-with a multimillion-dollar plan to renovate and rent out an 85-year-old building just blocks from its Capitol Avenue headquarters. Shiel Sexton Co. Inc. has agreed to spend more than $5 million on the 60,000-square-foot brick building at 1402 N. Capitol Ave., restoring the property to its former glory and transforming it from industrial to office use. The company also is seeking tenants for a…

Carmel’s Sunrise CafÃ© may be nearing sunset: Developer would raze cafÃ© to make way for retail, office

February 14, 2005

A longtime favorite spot to conduct business over breakfast on the far-north side will close if plans to sell the building that houses Sunrise CafÃ© come to fruition. Locally based Meridian Asset Development has the cafÃ© building and a surrounding 2-1/2-acre lot at 11450 N. Meridian St. under contract. The seller is an Omaha, Neb.-based trust that owns it and a nearby office building. If the sale closes as expected in the coming weeks, Meridian Asset plans to raze the…

Carmel Central Park project keeping contractors busy: $55M project on Monon won’t open until 2007

March 28, 2005

There won’t be skyscrapers, horsedrawn carriages or a subway stop, but come 2007, Carmel will have its very own Central Park. Officials broke ground in November on the 161-acre site bordered by College Avenue, 116th Street, Westfield Avenue and 111th Street. When completed, Central Park will be the largest in the Carmel Clay Parks and Recreation 280-acre system. The $55 million project isn’t anywhere near the scope of the New York City original, but construction manager Geupel DeMars Hagerman still…

April 4, 2005

A local investment firm hoping to capitalize on a resurgent near-north side is planning a 50-home, privately funded redevelopment project in the blocks surrounding Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Park. Homevestors LLC, led by husband and wife Jerry and Carole Jaquess, has applied for city approval to build 50 single-family homes between 16th and 22nd streets just south of Fall Creek Place. “It’s the next logical area” for redevelopment, said Jerry Jaquess, a general contractor. Jaquess’ partnership is not affiliated…

Hendricks Regional Health out to make name for itself: Hospital on promotional push in fast-growing county Growth spurs advertising

April 11, 2005

When the former Hendricks Community Hospital underwent a name change in 2003, executives embarked on an ambitious advertising campaign to promote the new moniker. Two years later, the modified Hendricks Regional Health has yet to abandon its marketing blitz, although the message has changed. The hospital is wrapping up a year-long promotional push, mainly to alert newcomers to fast-growing Hendricks County of the center’s existence, and will launch a follow-up campaign in the summer. Its efforts to muster additional name…

Stutz’s future includes condos: Developer envisions high-rise, nightclub as part of biz center

May 9, 2005

Stutz Business Center owner and visionary Turner Woodard last month rolled out a 10-year master plan for the Stutz that could bring condominiums, retail and a high-rise tower to the former auto-manufacturing plant at 10th Street and Capitol Avenue. Right now, Woodard concedes many of his plans are dreams. But with a blossoming life sciences corridor just to the west along the Central Canal, Woodard said he wants the 80-year-old Stutz to continue to be a hub of activity as…

JOHN KETZENBERGER Commentary: Time is ripe to heal racing rift

June 6, 2005

Roger Penske strode alone through Gasoline Alley 90 minutes before this year’s Indy 500. With 13 wins at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, The Captain certainly knows how to get his drivers around the famed Brickyard. In the next line of garages, a crowd of race fans and media gathered before doors numbered 12, 13, 14 and 15 where Rahal Letterman was encamped. Rookie phenom Danica Patrick arrived on a golf cart and disappeared quickly into the relative calm before the…

Taking the pulse of life sciences: Experts weigh in on whether Indiana is keeping up in the economic development race

June 27, 2005

IBJ: Is Indiana gaining ground against other states in the race to grow as a life sciences hub? What are some specific benchmarks that underscore your opinion? JOHNSON: Indiana is gaining ground, but Indiana already starts on really very substantial ground. There are a lot of outside validations of that and I think it’s important for this audience to hear a couple of them because there is nothing like having people on the outside pay attention to what we’re doing…

By George: Speedway owner gains clout in Formula One negotiations

July 4, 2005

There may be a silver lining to the cloud that descended over Indianapolis Motor Speedway at last month’s U.S. Grand Prix: President Tony George has emerged unscathed from a public relations standpoint and has never had more control over the Formula One race his track hosts. Michelin, the French tire maker for the 14 cars that withdrew from the race because of tire-safety concerns, has offered to refund fans’ ticket costs. That’s a $10 million to $12 million expense the…

SPORTS: A history lesson for 21st century stadium critics

July 25, 2005

It is Oct. 20, 1971. I am standing near Market and Alabama streets, where the groundbreaking has taken place for a venue to be called Market Square Arena. The price tag is a salty $23 million, and the project has attracted critics and naysayers who wonder about the city’s priorities, especially since our mayor, Richard Lugar, is using federal revenuesharing funds to help pay for the arena. Plus, Lugar has this wacky idea about using the arena as a catalyst…

Wells Fargo sees city as ripe for expansion: Commercial banking, capital management key to Indianapolis plan

July 25, 2005

Wells Fargo & Co. took a couple of quiet but important steps earlier this year as part of a plan to build a major presence in the Indianapolis banking and financial services market. The San Franciscobased corporation in March opened a local Commercial Banking Division headed by longtime banking executive Lex Curry and a capital management office headed by well-known stock manager Tom Pence. The moves, by the nation’s fifth-largest bank in terms of assets, are part of a corporate…

IMS mulls hotel: Convention-level facility connected to track would diversify Speedway’s revenue stream

August 22, 2005

Sources close to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway say management is working on plans for a convention-level hotel on a 16-acre lot just south of the track’s 16th Street entrance. Under consideration is a multilevel hotel connected to the track via a skywalk and a new set of track-side suites and condos near turn two where the Brickyard Crossing Inn sits. The inn would be torn down to make room for the suites and condos, which will better complement the new…

Atlas tenderloin tradition lives on: Family pays homage to ‘sticker lady’ at Carmel deli

September 26, 2005

But her connection to the grocery runs deeper. Her mother, Debbie Davis, was an Atlas institution, earning her “sticker lady” nickname from children who received the treats she kept in a toy treasure chest at her register. Debbie died in June 2004 at age 52, following a prolonged battle with breast cancer. In her memory, husband Mike Davis created the “Debbie’s Make You Smile Fund” to benefit the Indiana University Cancer Center. It is supported by the sale of the…

Builders finding ways to go condo under $200K: There’s a ready market for entry-level housing downtown

October 3, 2005

Building bargain housing downtown isn’t easy. Ask Doug Jones, a principal in JLM Development, which is wrapping up its first downtown condominium project, a 26-unit community called Penn Square. Because they were working with multiple landowners, some out of state, it took Jones and his partners more than a year to acquire the single acre they needed for Penn Square, on the northwest corner of 22nd and Delaware streets. But once the developers cleared that hurdle, Penn Square went from…

TOM HARTON Commentary: Luring people with bricks, mortar

October 10, 2005

A parking garage is about to rise on a vacant lot at 120 E. Washington St. It’s ironic that a block or so west of the site, a group of architects, city planners, real estate developers and leaders of the city’s arts movement meet on a regular basis to plot against such garages. The garage in the works isn’t just any garage. In its current design, which is yet to be approved, it’s only a garage. No ground-floor retail. Just…

Born again: Old churches gain new life as commercial space

October 10, 2005

God may be eternal, but His houses aren’t. Congregations expand, move or fade away. When they leave a house of worship behind, sometimes they find a different congregation to take over the brick-andmortar expression of their faith. Sometimes they don’t. In the latter case, finding a new life for churches and temples-often solidly built and packed with unique architectural details-can be something like working a miracle. But a handful of developers have managed to give new life to old churches,…

Herron-Morton planning grows beyond art campus: Foundation hopes to redevelop 3 nearby buildings

October 10, 2005

Members of Herron-Morton Place Foundation Inc. are ecstatic that city planners chose their proposal to rehabilitate three vacant buildings as part of a larger redevelopment of the former Herron School of Art campus. The dilapidated structures, known as the Foundry buildings, are a block east of the campus. Under the foundation’s plan, they will be transformed into retail shops and should benefit from the foot traffic generated by the revitalization of the Herron property on 16th Street. But now comes…

State’s plans for Larue Carter remain uncertain: New hosptal ideas are still under consideration

January 9, 2006

A year after the administration of then-Gov. Joe Kernan proposed building a new Larue D. Carter Memorial Hospital, the future of Indianapolis’ lone state-owned psychiatric hospital remains murky. The Indiana State Office Building Commission bought an 18-acre site near the IUPUI campus in December 2004, during the waning days of the Kernan administration. State officials talked then about spending as much as $55 million to build a Larue Carter that would replace the existing hospital, which is part of an…
