I used to live in the area, and I'd visited old Bush Stadium (the one that was renovated for this project) many times when the baseball team played there, as well as a few times at Victory Field downtown. I know that Bush Stadium was used as a racing course for a few years but that never really took off. At least some of old Bush Stadium has been preserved in this project.

Turn it back to an actual field and let the youth come play games for the renters to watch from their rooms. Gonna need a massive net to stop homeruns and foul balls lol but i think it would be dope to keep the game alive in such a nice area

[@Bonzi_Buddy]

This is how it is done... You get the city to give you property for $1 when they will not sell it to anyone else for far more than that. Then they put rent controlled apartments in there and get all kinds of tax dollars to do such a product. You have to provide these controlled units for X number of years. So what happens is they sell the property when those years run out and they have completed their contract with the city. They cash out big bucks, the buyer raises rents and the taxpayers get robbed.

Remember they did this in 2011. It was a decent risk in the wake of the financial crisis. Likely why the city offered it for $1 because there weren't many developers who could or would take on this risk. Their building costs also reflect the costs of that time. Materials and labor were cheap and plentiful. Oh how times have chagned.

Went to a party there about 10 years ago while in college. It was in one of the adjacent buildings to the stadium. Apartments were nice but felt a bit industrial. The area of Indy it’s in isn’t the best… but isn’t terrible. It’s sort of in an industrial area but it’s still only a 5 min drive from the main downtown area. Can’t speak on the resident experience but there are definitely better-value places to live in Indy for a similar price.

[@VulcanLogic]

Nice work. But this screams "mixed use!" Nothing huge, just some shops and small restaurants along maybe one side. Maybe a small grocery like an Aldi's, Trader Joe's, or a Bridge Street Market like Meijer built in downtown Grand Rapids. Looks like there's still room for more development on the site.

[@MarsJenkar]

There isn't as much room as you might think. Most of the "empty" area of this place is the old baseball field, which extends fairly close to the street (keep in mind, the old outfield fences were preserved, so intruding on the field would be undesirable). The east wall is only about 50 feet from Harding Street, which isn't enough for a retail building plus parking. The land beyond the north wall already is developed, with a parking lot on that side. As for the surrounding area, it's basically all built up, and has been for a long time.

[@udishomer5852]

This is America... If you don't need to drive to the grocer store you arr not fulfilling your role
