Groundbreaking begins at old Coke bottling plant
The Indianapolis former Coca-Cola bottling plant, located on Massachusetts Avenue, is about to undergo a transformation.
Ground was broken recently to get the project started, according to an article on WISH-TV.com. The building will become a mixed-use complex covering 11 acres, with most of the space given over to offices.
The enterprise, called the Bottleworks District, is the biggest private development of this sort ever undertaken, with a price tag of $300m. As with many similar developments, Bottleworks will be renovated and opened in phases. The entire project is expected to be completed by early 2020, with the first phase opening by late 2019.
Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony, Joe Hogsett, Indianapolis's mayor, said the project would be home to foods, fashions, workspaces, and the arts, and will attract both visitors and residents to this area. The project features retail spaces at street level and entertainment venues as mentioned, as well as residential units, a cinema, hotel, and public market.
The developers are concerned with maintaining an authentic feel to the 1931 building, so they plan to rescale the streets, and landscape the area to provide a buffer between the streets and sidewalks. They also plan to reuse some of the terra cotta features found on the building's facade, and will undertake new construction that will harmonize with nearby historic structures.
Developers of projects like this can work use brochure printing to publicize the renovation.
