INDIANAPOLIS — Indy Eleven & Keystone Group recently unveiled renderings and announced May 2023 groundbreaking plans for Eleven Park, the transformational neighborhood development set to change the southwest quadrant of downtown Indianapolis. The site is located off Kentucky Ave. and West St., close to Lucas Oil Stadium.
Diamond Chain, the former company on the property, has recently ceased production at the facility and will vacate the property by the end of April. Diamnd Chain was in businesses for over 125 years in that location.
Anchored by a 20,000-seat multipurpose stadium that will be the new permanent home of Indy Eleven, the development will also include over 600 apartments; 205,000 square feet of office space; over 197,000 square feet for retail space and restaurants; a hotel; public plazas with green space; and public parking garages.
Eleven Park will introduce several amenities including a large public plaza and green spaces with features such as an outdoor stage with free concerts, kids play zone, outdoor activities, water features, dog park, and public art to name a few. The public plaza will offer access to community events, farmer’s markets, and more.
Other highlights to the development will include an indoor 4,000 seat music and entertainment venue utilizing a national operator similar to other successful sites around the country; rooftop bars; river front activation; and walkability and connectivity to The Cultural Trail and all of downtown.
The development will be part of the ongoing revitalization of downtown Indianapolis that provides space for working and leisure activities. Some of the developments in the area include the new Elanco Headquarters campus, Eli Lilly Global Headquarters, White River State Park, Lucas Oil Stadium, Victory Field, and the Indiana Convention Center. This development will help support and activate the White River Vision Plan, with many improvements along the river including trails and gathering areas; overall the village will offer unique opportunities while complimenting other neighborhoods in downtown Indianapolis.
The new stadium is slated to open in summer of 2025.
