Update: Local developer Flaherty & Collins Properties to build 28-story glass tower on former site of Market Square Arena. The $81 million project would contain 300 luxury apartments, 43,600 square feet of retail space and 500 parking spots.

Earlier: Flaherty & Collins Properties selected to develop part of old Market Square Arena site, source says

The city of Indianapolis has picked a proposal to redevelop part of the old Market Square Arena site, and indications today were that local developer Flaherty & Collins Properties will be the latest company to take on the challenge.

Whoa, excuse me! ...and Indy steps in the ring. :cheers: It's about time we heard some proposals out of the country's 13th-largest city.

Gorgeous proposal! I do hope the rendering of the base is just kind of a place holder though, and is going to be redesigned.

Why oh why didn't they build the entire building out of concrete!! Penny wise dollar foolish!!!

You wouldn't see this in Mexico, as you can't even get insurance on a house, apartment building or motel built with wood down there! But then, if it was all built out of concrete, why would you need insurance anyway?

Wow way to go Indy. I stayed at that gross LaQuinta just across the street and these two projects will really transform that area.

City to get first look at $70M second phase of Pulliam Square

Quote:

The developer of downtown’s Pulliam Square apartment-and-retail project planned to submit a design to the city on Thursday for its much-anticipated second phase.

Dubbed The Park at Pulliam Square, the $70 million project would be built on the site of the former Indianapolis Star headquarters at 307 N. Pennsylvania St.

TWG Development LLC is set on July 28 to present its plans to the Regional Center hearing examiner, with construction starting in the fall. The project should be finished in spring 2018, TWG President Tony Knoble said.

The nine-story building would feature 334 apartment units and 4,600 square feet of office space, in addition to 7,000 square feet of retail space at the corner of New York and Talbott streets, which would be marketed for a restaurant.

Kite to build 2 hotels at Pan Am Plaza; city to spend $120M on attached meeting space

https://www.capitalimprovementboard....Renderings.pdf

Quote:

Indianapolis’ once-celebrated-but-now-underused Pan Am Plaza is the planned site of a $120 million, publicly funded addition to the Indiana Convention Center plus two privately funded Hilton-branded hotels that together would have more than 1,400 rooms.

The Capital Improvement Board voted on Friday to recommend construction of the convention center expansion and to work with Kite Realty Group Trust as the master developer on the project.

The resolution gives the CIB authority to work on a project agreement with Kite and an overall financing model.

The Kite plan was one of three submitted in March in response to the CIB’s request for proposals for another convention-style hotel with 800 to 1,000 rooms.

Mayor Joe Hogsett’s administration has endorsed the Kite plan.

A key component of the project is a 38-story, 800-room hotel that would be developed by Kite and branded as Hilton on the northeast corner of the plaza at Illinois and Georgia streets. It would be Indianapolis’ second-largest hotel, behind only the 1,005-room JW Marriott that opened in 2011.

Kite plans to build a second, 600-room hotel, as well, which would be on the southeast corner of the block at Illinois and Louisiana streets. It also would carry a Hilton brand.

Kite would oversee the construction of the ballroom building, as well, but wouldn’t own it. Indianapolis-based RATIO Architects is the architect on the project.

The project would involve tearing down the underground parking structure, building a podium to support the two-story ballroom and additional meeting space, as well as general property acquisition costs, Cook said. The city also would build the climate-controlled walkway over Capitol Avenue to connect the Indiana Convention Center with the new complex.

The city hopes to win approvals for the project within 12 months, setting the stage for groundbreaking in 2019. The construction is expected to take multiple years, but officials said it would not interfere with activity at the convention center.

Former GM stamping plant will be home to Elanco Animal Health headquarters
Alexandria Burris | Indianapolis Star
December 4, 2020

Elanco Animal Health plans to establish its global operations in Indiana, constructing a $100 million headquarters at the former GM stamping plant site, just south of the Indianapolis Zoo. State, city,and company officials announced the deal Friday that will include as much as $170 million in taxpayer-funded incentives. The new headquarters is part of a $300 million investment Elanco plans to make in Indiana, which will serve as the base for the company's consolidated global operations. The company will relocate its headquarters from Greenfield, about 25 miles east of Indianapolis. Friday's announcement finalizes the company's multi-state search to find a new site to call home...

Elanco Moving Global HQ to Indy
Alex Brown | Inside Indiana Business
December 4th 2020

INDIANAPOLIS - Greenfield-based Elanco Animal Health Inc. (NYSE: ELAN) is making a major statement about its future in Indiana. The company has announced plans to relocate its global headquarters to a new 45-acre campus at the site of the former GM Stamping Plant in downtown Indianapolis as part of a $300 million investment to make Indiana its base of operations. Elanco says the massive investment will retain more than 1,600 jobs and create more than 570 jobs over the next decade. Elanco, which became the second-largest animal health company in the world after this year's $7 billion acquisition of Bayer Animal Health, says the new site in downtown Indy will allow it to consolidate its global operations and more than 1,000 team members at one location...

That is certainly a massive improvement over the current state of the site, and it appears that early planning layouts are prioritizing an urban street grid over something that is closed off to the surrounding city.

Also, would anyone happen to know if the Hilton hotels at Pan Am Plaza, announced a few posts up in 2018, were jeopardized by the pandemic and its associated decline in tourism and events? I would hope that the convention center-adjacent location would work in its favor, as such hotels in other cities are currently still underway.

I had to Google where this was since I don't know the area - it is a suburb about 20 miles northwest of downtown Indy. The price tag is what initially caught my eye -

Indy is a very impressive little city. I like it better than Raleigh, Charlotte, Columbus, etc.
