But now a flood of new developments is turning downtown into an even more enviable place to live. Earlier this year, Downtown Indy released a project list tracking more than $1.3 billion in new or renovated commercial, residential, and mixed-use projects. As money continues to pour into the area, you may want to seriously consider the move to one of downtown’s hot new neighborhoods. “There is an urban energy that comes from downtown living, and I think people are surprised by how safe, how clean, and how vibrant our downtown is,” says Bob Schultz, senior vice president of marketing and communications and events at Downtown Indy. With an almost endless array of things to do, activities, and eateries, and a recent surge of residential development, that vibrancy is only growing stronger, making now a great time to move downtown. Why?

Indianapolis gained nearly 5,500 new residents in 2014, according to estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau.

because the plentiful housing supply continues to grow Downtown already boasts a variety of neighborhoods and housing styles from which to choose. Contemporary lofts and modern high-rises sit nestled between stately brick homes and quiet streets of historic areas. With nearly 30 multi-unit projects scheduled to be completed in the next few years, residents both current and new will have even more options. Schultz points to Mass Ave and Fletcher Place as two pockets that have traditionally attracted the most residents and are scheduled to see the most residential growth. Together, they’re bringing several new developments by 2017. But he’s also excited about projects along the Canal and near IUPUI’s campus. “And then you have 16th Street,” he says. “From the west side with 16 Tech all the way over to the east side, you see a renaissance of 16th Street taking place with what I see as the next wave of residential growth.” Plus, Indianapolis is one of the most affordable cities in which to live. “It really is across the board, but generally speaking, the cost of living is remarkably lower than most U.S. cities our size, and that makes Indianapolis an attractive place,” Schultz says. “You can earn a salary here where your dollar goes a lot further than it would in similar places.” Along with money, new residents are pouring into downtown as well, increasing economic activity and demand for amenities. By the time this new slate of residential development is complete in 2020, it’s estimated that downtown will gain more than 10,000 new residents. This might have something to do with the fact that Indianapolis keeps popping up on lists of “greats” and “bests.”
It was No. 22 on Forbes’s 2014 list of best cities for business and careers. Livability.com, which looks at factors like walkability, housing values, and entertainment options, ranked Indy No. 3 on its list of top 10 best downtowns.
because an impressive new look to our skyline is underway Downtown is also looking at an influx of new commercial developments that will drastically change the urban core’s landscape. Of the $1.36 billion in the pipeline, nearly half is going toward new commercial projects or renovations of existing structures that will offer residents more efficient public transportation, additional restaurant and grocery options, and state-of-the-art fitness facilities. A section of downtown’s near-east side, bounded by New York, East, and Delaware streets and the train tracks to the south, is currently occupied by old parking lots and under-utilized buildings. (Looking at you, Old City Hall.) That stretch has been renamed Market East, and the goal is to create a thriving area similar to the city’s six other cultural districts. “It’s cool when one project gets underway, and then right next door there’s a second project and then a third project,” Schultz says. “You have this project density, and that is what we’re seeing in Market East. What’s exciting is when you have an area that is ripe for redevelopment, and all of those pieces come together at the same time, and then all of a sudden you have a brand-new neighborhood that has emerged.” The anchor will be Cummins’s new global distribution

headquarters, situated where Market Square Arena once stood. The 10-story project broke ground in April and is slated to be complete in late 2016. Just east of City Market, a new 28-story tower called 360 Market Square is planned for a 2017 completion. It will include nearly 300 luxury apartments, a Whole Foods Market, and perks like a rooftop garden, a pet salon, a heated pool, and wine storage. Heading south on Alabama Street through the heart of Market East, you’ll find Old City Hall. Plans call to turn the landmark into a 21c Museum Hotel, a Louisville-based chain that combines a boutique hotel, a contemporary art gallery, and a culinary experience inspired by local food. Even the City-County Building—or at least its plaza—will soon receive a new look. After reviewing design submissions, a jury chose a project that features a splash pad to double as an iceskating rink, art installations, a cafe, and gardens overlooking the Cultural Trail along Washington Street. Construction should begin this November. On the southeast corner of Delaware and Washington streets is the new Downtown Transit Center, scheduled to open later this year (although the discovery of historic artifacts on the site will likely delay the project). The 14,000-square-foot publictransportation hub with a sweeping, canopy-like roof will transform what was once just a parking lot into a key feature of downtown. It will offer Wi-Fi, a small retail space, real-time arrival information, and public restrooms. Large crowds that used to huddle along Washington Street will now have plenty of space to wait indoors. The new transit center will also result in significant changes to the current bus routes in an effort to make the network more conducive to spontaneous travel. Most of the routes have been altered to connect at the DTC, and some parallel routes along less busy streets have been consolidated onto more main thoroughfares. Though it may mean users have to walk a few more blocks to their final destination, IndyGo hopes the changes will increase service frequency and decrease wait time between buses, making it easier for riders to hop on and off without a detailed bus schedule.
The opening of the Downtown Transit Center comes at a time when IndyGo ridership is at an all-time high. Last year, the system saw more than 10 million trips, and record-breaking numbers were set in seven out of 12 months.

By this time next year, the Walnut Street basin of the Central Canal will have a new look. A playscape with a slide and climbing features is slated to break ground this summer. It’s one step toward improving public spaces, a key aspect of Downtown Indy’s five-year Velocity plan for boosting the urban core.

Wander just a few blocks south, and you’ll find yet another new project. CityWay, a strip of residential and retail along Delaware Street, and the YMCA of Greater Indianapolis are bringing downtown residents a $22 million fitness facility by the end of 2015. This three-story YMCA will offer nearly every wellness amenity you can dream of. Two indoor swimming pools, three full-sized gyms, an elevated indoor running track, medical offices, and even a culinary studio where people can learn about preparing healthy meals are all features of the new Y.
because indy’s culinary and entertainment epicenter is only getting better Downtown continues to be a hub for the best dining and libations, with options to please any palate, and entertainment, such as concerts, museums, and special events. For many downtown residents, such perks are within walking distance—or just a short bike ride away via the Cultural Trail. So many new downtown restaurants are earning praise, including Milktooth, Spoke & Steele, Plow & Anchor, Tinker Street, and Union 50, to name a few. In fact, all of those were honored as an Indianapolis Monthly Best New Restaurant this year. These modern spots with creative combinations are joined by more traditional options that are just as mouth-watering. A revamped Illinois Building will feature deep-dish pizza
purveyor Giordano’s and Hyde Park Prime Steakhouse as eateries. Georgia Reese’s (also a Best New Restaurants honoree) recently opened its second Indy location, dishing out ribs, fried chicken, and other Southern staples on Washington Street. “I think we used to be somewhat embarrassed by our agrarian roots,” Schultz says. “Well, we have some incredible agricultural gems here in our community, and we have claimed that with locally sourced food and locally sourced beverages. These are some James Beard–level chefs that are seeing opportunity to work with some of the great resources of Indiana agriculture.

Sample gin, vodka, rum, or mixed drinks in Hotel Tango’s cozy tasting room, or stop by 12.05 Distillery for tastes of its corn-based gin and vodka. Its neighbor, Repeal, offers small bites and craft cocktails. With venues like the Lawn at White River State Park and Old National Centre hosting national acts, and more intimate settings like Theatre on the Square and IndyFringe providing a stage for local thespians, downtowners are never at a loss for entertainment on any night of the week. Residents are just minutes from alwayschanging cultural and educational exhibits at landmarks like the Indiana State Museum; the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis; the Indianapolis Zoo; the NCAA Hall of Champions; and the Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana History Center. The Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art just debuted an installation of four canopies that provide shaded respite along the Central Canal. “On any given night if you live downtown, there’s a major-league sporting event or two, there’s professional theater and amateur theater, there are bars and nightclubs with local acts, and there’s national talent coming in for concerts,” Schultz says. “Then you have these episodic major events coming in and out of downtown: the Final Four, the International Violin Competition, Heartland Film Festival. You couple all that with this vibe of First Fridays, local clubs, and the indie music scene in Fountain Square. It is the antithesis of couch potato–land. The thought about what to do takes much longer than how to get there because it’s all so close. And I think that is what’s driving the vibrancy.” We could go on and on. For those that hold the view that downtown is still the Naptown of old, we point to the thriving businesses, growing retail and commercial spaces, and excellent food and entertainment as proof that people love to live here. Indy has been booming, and it’s only getting better. So to anyone looking for a fresh start or a new home, we say: Won’t you be our neighbor?

The IPS Education Foundation receives a major boost from local tech giant Salesforce.

Their reactions were priceless. Some teachers cried. Some shouted for joy. But all of them were thrilled by the message they had just heard. On May 14, Salesforce Marketing Cloud CEO Scott McCorkle and officials from Indianapolis Public Schools and Donors Choose, a crowd-funding website, visited the Center for Inquiry School 27 to announce that Salesforce would donate more than $100,000 to fund every IPS project listed on Donors Choose. “We definitely won the Salesforce lottery, that’s for sure,” says Robert Shula, executive director of the IPS Education Foundation. “This amazing gift is going to do so much for our students and teachers. It helped us end the school year on a high note and will infuse a lot of energy and excitement into the upcoming year, knowing that someone cares about our classrooms and wants our kids to succeed.” The IPS Education Foundation will receive 100 percent of ticket-sale proceeds from the Downtown Living Tour. The Salesforce donation will cover 150 classroom materials and projects, including books, science equipment, field trips, technology, art supplies, and musical instruments. The funds will be spread across 32 schools and will affect thousands of students. It’s no secret that teachers have an unending list of must-haves and wouldlike-to-haves that would make their classrooms more productive places to learn. In some cases, they use their own funds to get what they need, but when the need is great, they turn to outside help. That’s where Donors Choose comes in. Similar to GoFundMe and Kickstarter, Donors Choose helps public-school teachers solicit financial support for specific classroom needs. Donors can cover entire projects or provide a portion of the requested funds. When the full amount is raised, the supplies are then sent to the school so the wish can be fulfilled. Shula says Donors Choose is a great way for teachers to raise money for their classrooms. Because of matching grants
provided by the IPS Education Foundation, projects are not only funded faster, but the foundation’s resources actually go further. “When folks make that investment through Donors Choose, their contribution is doubled thanks to the generous support of our community partners such as Eli Lilly and Co., Citizens Energy Group, IPL, Salesforce, and more,” Shula says. “These crowd-funding sites really are the future of fundraising. There’s less paperwork and red tape, and donors can be assured that the money they’re giving is going directly to the project they want to support. That gives them a sense of ownership as well. It helps them know how they made a difference in one classroom.” Allison Brownlee is one teacher who uses Donors Choose whenever a need arises. As a first-year special-education teacher at the Center for Inquiry School 27, she has few resources to help make her lessons authentic and engaging.
“The children in IPS need to know they are cared about by the people in their community. Because it takes a village to raise a child.”
“My students are risk-takers, thinkers, mathematicians, and leaders of our future generations,” Brownlee says. “My job as a teacher is to guide students in their growth, not only of the skills that they have mastered, but those in need of development. This is why I turn to Donors Choose to write grants for the resources that will enhance the learning already happening in my classroom.” At the time of the Salesforce announcement, Brownlee had two projects on Donors Choose: One was for whiteboards and dry-erase markers, and the other was for a MacBook Pro laptop. Brownlee requested the whiteboards and markers for small-group instruction, where kids can display their work in a fun and engaging way. Students love using
markers and whiteboards because their work is easy to see and can be changed easily, she says. The laptop is critical for testing purposes and to help students further develop a variety of skills. Her school has a limited amount of technology, and she was making do with an old and unreliable PC. The cost for both projects was $1,865, more than she could obtain on her own. Now, she has the money she needs to ease her students’ anxiety over testing, help them practice their skills, and allow them to type out work that might not otherwise be written down due to challenges with fine-motor abilities or dyslexia. “To have a local organization support our schools makes our entire community stronger,” she says. In addition to the financial support, Salesforce employees have committed to donating 500 hours of their time to local schools. It’s all part of the company’s philanthropy initiative known as the 1-11 model in which it contributes 1 percent of its product, equity, and time to improve communities. To date, Salesforce has tallied $80 million in donations and 960,000 in volunteer hours. “It runs through our veins to serve and to give back,” McCorkle says. “Each of our employees is given six days a year to do some kind of community service. We believe that’s very important. “Some of those projects had been on the Donors Choose site for over a year, and we were able to come along and take care of a lot of those things all at once. It was wonderful to be part of that and see their reaction.” When one of Brownlee’s students heard about the Salesforce donation, he said he wanted to work for Salesforce someday because the company cared about him and his school, “and I want to help them for helping us,” he told Brownlee. “The children in IPS need to know they are cared about by the people in their community,” Brownlee says. She thanks Salesforce for showing that the company believes in kids. “Because it takes a village to raise a child,” she says. To make a donation toward an IPS Donors Choose project, visit ipsef.org.
