I seen on the local news today in Indianapolis will be getting a Indianapolis world trade center. They did not say how tall it will be.

Kudos to Indy, but I think at this point its just the designation that is newsworthy. Sometime in the future a building, probably downtown and probably a highrise, could be built for the organization or built around the organization as a hub tenant. From one of many articles this info:

Sadler also said the organization is in the "very, very early stages" of market research for a headquarters building, potentially a high-rise in downtown Indianapolis. "We'd like it to be in downtown Indianapolis, but we’re open to other ideas," said Sadler. "We're thinking in terms of a mixed-use development where companies that have connections to trade will want to come and use as a hub."

Let us hope it will add livelihood to the streetscape. Cant wait to see renderings.

No renderings. Not a real proposal yet.

I keep hearing about it and it seemed like it had a lot of backing. I'm surprised nothing tangible has come out of it yet. I wonder how close they are to a plan and renderings.

Ok... renders?

No, I don't see any new proposal yet.

I think they will build a super tall tower. Will they ever consider it? How about 90 or 100 floors?

I say the taller the better.

There is zero chance that Indy can support a 90 or 100 story tall office building. It'll more likely be a pair of 40-50 story office buildings. Much more economical, and still tons of office space. Indy isn't exactly a city that deserves, needs, or has the demand for a flashy supertall.
