The History Behind the Real Estate Mecca
An article by the Indianapolis Business Journal recently announced that PK Partners’ president Philip Larmen will be repurposing the old Champps restaurant building to make expansions to Duke Realty’s headquarter offices in Indianapolis. Philip Larmen seems opportunistic about new commercial prospects coming to Keystone at the Crossing. In response, we’d like to take a moment to share a little history about one of Indianapolis’ biggest commercial destinations.
known as “The Bazaar” in the early days. While Leonard was able to get the land and resources for Keystone at the Crossing, Philip is the one responsible for converting Keystone at the Crossing into a real estate empire. Connie Niessink, a principal at Niessink Commercial Real Estate, commented, “He has been careful with it [the area], because that real estate is such a valuable commodity. He’s taken his time and has done such a fantastic job and has developed every piece of it”.
Larmen has spent the last 25 years making Keystone at the Crossing what it is today: shopping and restaurants, as well as offices, hotels, and apartment complexes. Larmen’s father also played a major role for Keystone at Crossing. About 50 years ago, Leonard Larmen took over 200 acres of farmland and developed it into what is now East 86th Street, I-465, and Keystone Ave.
PK Partners has developed over 20 buildings in the area, including their most recent project River North at Keystone. However, the most excitable project for the company, especially for Leonard, was the birth of the Fashion Mall.
In the 1970’s, Leonard launched his first phase of development for the Fashion Mall,
In 1959, Leonard was working for Albert Frankel, 5
retail developer for the Indianapolis area. Ironically, Leonard took the position after Mel Simon left Albert’s company. Mel Simon and his brother Herb eventually became retail real estate tycoons, known for the establishment of Simon Property Group and for being the biggest shopping mall developer in the world.
room for a 600,000 square foot expansion to the Fashion Mall. Eventually Duke sold the property to a British pension fund, who then sold it to the Simon brothers property group. Since Simon’s purchase in 1997, the property has expanded to over 710,000 square feet today. After graduating college in 1981, Philip went to work for his father. However, Philip began to regret his decision, since Leonard had lost the Fashion Mall property. Although Philip loved his father, he was unsure if he could work for him anymore, saying “It was clear to me that he wasn’t going to be doing any more development.”
Together, Albert and Leonard obtained the farm land at Keystone at the Crossing to create a large shopping center for a luxury market. They planned to build the largest Indianapolis shopping mall, but were outdone by Edward J. DeBartolo Sr., the mall capitalist who built the Castleton Square Mall, in 1970.
Philip left the company to begin his custom home building business for the Carmel, Zionsville, and Geist areas.
After this defeat, Leonard decided to part ways from Frankel to build his own real estate firm. With his new firm, Leonard still planned to develop Keystone at the Crossing into a luxurious shopping center. After partnering with Indiana National Bank, the 60,000 square foot Fashion Mall along with “The Bazaar” opened its doors in 1974.
“I loved him, but I couldn’t stand working for him.”
TGI Friday’s restaurant, located where Crate and Barrel is now, was a popular place to visit when the mall opened. TGI Friday’s currently sits between P.F Chang’s and Maggiano's down East 86th Street, but is still close to the present Fashion Mall. This particular restaurant was the sixth location in the nation at the first Fashion Mall opening, and continues to be a thriving restaurant in the area today.
Leonard’s business eventually shrunk to only a few struggling retail properties in 1989, due in part to him becoming terminally ill. The following year, he died of a brain tumor at the age of 70. Philip and his sister Karen decided to step in and help their father’s business. They purchased the remaining assets and established PK Partners.
Shortly after the grand opening of the Fashion Mall and “The Bazaar”, Indiana National Bank was forced to pull out all financial backing for Leonard and his company, due to risky real estate deals and transactions around the Midwest. With no financial partner, Leonard lost his ownership of the Fashion Mall and “The Bazaar”, but was able to keep the land east of the property, known today as “River Crossing”.
As the new owner of PK Partners, Philip sought to get ahold of all 85 acres of River Crossing. Philip was ecstatic to acquire this commercial and residential zoned property in 1993, but eventually sold part of the land to another developer who established the River Crossing apartments.
Duke Realty bought the land that was lost by Leonard, and demolished “The Bazaar” to make
PK Partners built the Shops at River Crossing three years later, and developed the popular Champps restaurant that became the essential nightlife spot for Keystone at the 6
Crossing. Sadly, the restaurant closed its doors in November of 2017. PK Partners went on to develop the office buildings known as River Crossing I, II, and III. River Crossing I and II were eventually sold to Franklin Street Property Co. for over $41.6 million in 2005. Once those 203,000 collective square feet of office space were sold, the bar was set high for office tenants moving into the area. Shortly after the sale, River Crossing III opened in 2007 where PK Partners headquarters was located until their move to their new location at River North. The company is also known for selling the land where the current Marriott Hotel North sits, in 1998. Instead of continuing the naming trend and going with Four River Crossing, PK Partners decided to name their new location at River North “Walker
Place”, in honor of a tenant called Walker Information. This area will have one of two office buildings. The other office is home to PK Partners and is simply named “8801 at River North”. In 2010, PK Partners bought the Five River Crossing, the office space located at the front of the Shops at River Crossing along East 86th Street. PK Partners transformed this space into a mix of retail, dining, and office space. Current residents include Ocean Prime, Diamonds Direct, Massage Envy, and Dottie Couture. Currently, PK Partners holds over $200 million in project developments, with only seven employees. While Philip is reminiscent of how his dad was able to begin the establishment of Keystone at the Crossing, he is a firm believer now that “there is no other property as important to Indianapolis as Keystone at the Crossing”. While he may be biased, there’s no debating the impact that Keystone at the Crossing has had on the north side, and we hope for continued success in the area.

CULTURAL TRAIL How Public Art is Transforming Home Values In an article by NewsTimes, local neighborhoods that were once struggling are now becoming revitalized, thanks in part to local public art being displayed. Indianapolis is known to house the “Cultural Trail”, which is an 8 mile path for both pedestrians and cyclists. Created in 2013, the trail connects downtown neighborhoods and features local artist works and hosts events throughout the year. The trail holds over 46 murals and flocks of civilians walk and cycle down this trail every day. In 2014, the Cultural Trail created the Pacers Bikeshare program, which gave Indianapolis locals a chance to experience cycling down the trail. The trail only features local and emerging artists, and the committee management team has stood by this rule since its creation. The committee team for the Cultural Trail believes that any art that is chosen to be displayed on the trail should be “focused on quality over quantity, have site sensitivity, engage both emerging and experienced artists, support innovation, and promote connectivity”. According to the Indiana University Public Policy, property values in and around the Cultural Trail have increased by $1 billion. Ryan Mullin, real estate broker with FS Houses, also states, “When the trail was built, it tied together all the ‘coolest and hippest’ neighborhoods. And now real estate prices have climbed”. Mullin adds, “You used to be able to buy a house for $35,000 to $40,000. Now, a vacant lot sells for that much and starter homes are selling for $220,000”. As the Indianapolis Cultural Trail continues to thrive and showcase more public art, the housing marketing is sure to skyrocket as well. The trail brings so much entertainment and culture to Indianapolis, which is why it continues to be Indianapolis’s leading urban trail and linear park virtuoso.

FOOD FOOD DESERT DESERT CRISIS CRISIS THE EAST SIDE OF INDIANAPOLIS IS STRUGGLING TO FIND FRESH PRODUCE NEARBY.
When I first moved to Indianapolis from Evansville by way of Bloomington in 2008, I knew I was starting a life in a much bigger city. What I didn’t know was how quickly this city would grow in the ten years I have been living here. I’m thrilled to have been here while what I now call my city has hosted a Super Bowl, NCAA Championships, and more conferences than I care to count, but I have also seen the less glamorous side of a rapidly growing major city.
Residents say the average distance to a grocery store near them is about three to six miles away. Indianapolis now ranks as one of the worst cities in the nation as a “food desert”. According to the USDA, a “food desert” is classified by “parts of the country vapid of fresh fruit, vegetables, and and other healthful whole foods, usually found in impoverished areas because of a lack of grocery stores, farmers’ markets, and healthy food
As an article in Indiana Public Media points out, the east side of Indianapolis has been continuing to struggle with grocery store accessibility.

providers.” Zach Adamson, an Indianapolis city council member who lives on the east side, says, “Obviously when you don’t have access to anything, it’s frustrating. It adds to the day to day struggle that people living in poverty have to deal with.”
other. Adamson remarks that retailers are to blame for their location selection. “But you come into the very dense parts of the city that are economically challenged and they won’t even put a grocery store in there,” says Adamson, “You can saturate some markets and totally deny others. That’s one of the reasons why it was important to pass our healthy food resolutions.”
While Adamson is able to commute to work and stop at a grocery store each day, many other east side residents do not have the same opportunity. A large portion of the community on the east side do not have cars, limiting their choices. Many have to rely on public transportation or ride services to get around, some can work out rides from friends and family, and others have to resort to walking to each destination.
In January of 2014, The Indy Food Council was established to find a solution to getting fresh produce and healthier options for people living in food deserts. The council suggests investing money in communities that are struggling with the food desert crisis, which would promote grocery stores to move in once the area becomes a special tax district.
Adamson continues, “You can probably find bread or milk or juice but Speedway doesn’t have baby formula or vegetables. When you’re financially challenged, you’re you’re looking for the most bang for your buck. Even when you’re dealing with Family Dollar or discount stores that have food products, I wouldn’t call them food because they’re so lacking in nutritional value.” Today, there are only five recognized grocery stores (Kroger, Walmart, ALDI, Meijer and Save-A-Lot) for east-siders to purchase fresh food. Unfortunately for them, most locations of these stores are closer to central Indianapolis. While some small areas on the east side may have a Dollar General or Family Dollar nearby, these stores do not provide fresh produce.
Cindy Stone, an associate professor at Indiana University, comments, “Grocery stores use a lot of criteria. They have enough density of population per square mile that is what the grocery stores are looking for. Because they are lower income that’s not as desirable, and because a grocery store in the area failed a while ago, that’s not so good.”
" It adds to the day to day struggle that people living in poverty have to deal with among many others."
So what is a probable solution? Moving closer to a grocery store? Adamson says, “When we’re talking about trying to encourage families to move back into our city center, nobody wants to live someplace, especially if they’ve been living in a [su]burb where they’re five minutes from a grocery store. You move back into the city and deal with higher crime, more density and more scarcity. That’s not an invitation and that’s not very inviting.” What about building more grocery stores? In Broad Ripple, there are multiple stores within blocks of each
Stone decided to conduct her own research on the east side in a neighborhood community called “Meadows”. This area in particular has dealt with the food desert crisis for nearly four decades. Unsurprisingly, her survey concluded that area residents were wanting more stores that had healthier eating options. “They identified certain foods like organic foods being available and higher quality meats and fruits and vegetables so they were quite concerned not only with the affordability but the quality of the food that would be available,” says Stone.
Many residents who filled out Stone’s survey also displayed interest in taking cooking classes. Kayte Young, a cooking class instructor for Mother Hubbard’s Cupboard food bank in Bloomington, says, “I definitely think that providing the fresh food is not
15
enough. If someone has not been exposed to that fresh food and doesn’t know what to do with it. Maybe they’ve seen green beans but they’ve only seen it in a can [and thought] eh what do I do is this too much trouble, but we say nope just stick it in some water. Sort of taking away the mystery of it and making sure people understand how simple and more delicious it is.” While working at Mother Hubbard’s Cupboard food bank, Young helps teach those in poverty how to cook with fresh, healthy ingredients. One resident in particular, Kaitlin Sowder, comes to Mother Hubbard’s often and finds the classes to be a valuable resource for her and her family. “I’m 17 and I’m taking over the cooking portion of my family because my mom’s disabled, my step-father’s disabled and my step-brother’s taking on a full time job at the nursing home, Garden Villa,” Sowder remarks. “My family hasn’t bought the fresh ingredients yet so far because we’re on food stamps and my mom’s a little set in her old ways and she does the grocery shopping, but I’m still trying to convince her fresh food would be better.” While Indianapolis’ Healthy Food Resolution realizes there are many ways for residents to obtain fresh, healthy produce, they also understand that grocery stores are not the only option. Fresh, local food can also be found at community gardens and farmers’ markets. Adamson’s neighborhood has developed garden beds, raised chickens and beehives, and even started a co-op to help other residents in need of fresh produce. “I think creation of food co-op is a testament to communities coming together and how that can really impact a lot of change,” Adamson suggests. “It takes a lot of time and effort. It’s expensive but we’re at nearly a thousand members now and I remember all of us coming together and many of us barely knew each other but we all realized that without us taking this action, we weren’t going to have access to healthy foods.”

OPPORTUNITY ZONES Making Their Way to Northwest Indiana
Indiana Real Estate News headquarters is located in the heart of Indianapolis, so it’s easy to get into the habit of focusing our coverage solely on central Indiana. However, when I started this company, I purposely chose to make the “I” in “IREN” stand for Indiana. With that in mind, we’re happy to share some good news coming to northwest Indiana. According to an article in the NWI Times, a new federal program that has been introduced into this year’s new tax reform law is showing opportunities for investment in low-income areas. According to the IRS, Opportunity Zones are
OP•POR•TU•NI•TY äpərˈt(y)o͞onədē/

workforce, an international airport and a port authority financing option, developers will see the value of joining us as we rebuild Gary”. Gary’s opportunity zones will reach from the lakeshore south all the way to Gary/Chicago International Airport, as well as downtown near City Hall, Metro Center, Genesis Center, near interstates 80/94 & 65, and into the Miller’s business district. At the end of May, five communities will have opportunity zones available, including Hammond, East Chicago, Valparaiso, Michigan City and LaPorte. Thomas McDermott Jr., mayor of Hammond, said the city’s new opportunity zones are “prime real estate for growth”. He adds, “Whether it is in the area of our potential data center campus on the lakefront, our downtown district, or near the South Shore station ready for transportation oriented development, this program makes Hammond even more attractive to companies wanting to locate in our city.” Hammond’s opportunity zones will reach the shore of Lake Michigan to Wolf Lake and Lake George. The zones will also include downtown areas from the state line to eastern city limits near Grand Calumet River. “economically distressed communities where new investments, under certain conditions, may be eligible for preferential tax treatment and localities qualify as opportunity zones if they have been nominated for that designation by the state”. The IRS states that opportunity zones were established after the passing of the Tax Cuts and Jobs act of December 2017. With the establishment of Opportunity Zones, the IRS hopes to see a spike in economic development and job creation in distressed communities. This can be done by investors receiving tax benefits on gains, solds, or exchanges for investments that are then reinvested into the Qualified Opportunity Fund (partnership or corporation for property eligible inside the opportunity zones). So far, 20 proposed opportunity zones in Northwest Indiana are now applicable for this program. Gary Mayor Karen Freeman says she is “excited about the favorable outcomes that Opportunity Zones will provide”. She continues, “When this tool is added to our natural advantages of location, an eager and trainable
In Indiana alone, over 156 sections (in over 58 counties with over 500,000 residents) are becoming opportunity zones for the state. Governor Eric Holcomb stated that “this new program provides one more tool to attract investment and help more of our Hoosier communities succeed”. While opportunity zones are based on U.S. Census tracts, State representatives are permitted to nominate 25 percent of their low income areas (determined by gross family incomes as well as poverty rates) to the opportunity zone program. In Indiana alone, over 156 sections (in over 58 counties with over 500,000 residents) are becoming opportunity zones for the state. Governor Eric Holcomb stated that “this new program provides one more tool to attract investment and help more of our Hoosier communities succeed”. In order to delegate which areas are applicable for opportunity zones, a committee of five people, including former Mayor Leigh Morris of La Porte, reviewed over 2,000 proposals and recommendations sent to the governor’s office. The committee wanted to make sure that these sectors were not bunched together, but rather that they were more spread out across the entire state of Indiana.

Multiple communities within Lake County, Indiana collaborated with Lake County Economic Alliance (LCEA) to submit opportunity zone applications. President and CEO of LCEA Karen Lauerman declared opportunity zones “another tool in the toolbox in which local governments and states pay nothing in order to obtain opportunity zones”.
When Morris received Valparaiso's application, she remarked it was “one of the finest we had a chance to look at”. The application not only linked to the city’s overall plan, but also included outside input and endorsements from the community. Valparaiso’s plan includes areas between U.S. 30, Lincolnway, Joliet Road, Hayes Leonard Road, all the way to Valparaiso University.
Vice President of LCEA Don Koliboski said Lake County opportunity zones “were chosen with an eye toward investment potential. They were strategically selected to help us better market and attract the right developer to basically park their money in an investment for a five- or 10-year period”.
So far, more than 4,800 zones have been selected by the Treasury Department for opportunity zones. This is only from the first round, but the department has 30 days to designate these opportunity zones after the states have submitted their applications.
Opportunity zones in East Chicago will extend north to both sides of Indiana Harbor and Ship Canal, and will include ArcelorMittal and all of the South Shore Line stations. In Michigan City, opportunity zones will cover areas in or around the Blue Chip Casino, Lighthouse Place mall, and parts of downtown. La Porte opportunity zones will cover Lincolnway, Monroe Street and North Fail Road.
Morris adds, “It has the potential of being a really important stimulus to get developers and investors to look at the low-income zones. It will make a real difference in the economy of Northwest Indiana.” We should have an official look at these opportunity zones and their development here in the near future.
