HYATT PLACE HOTEL | 190' | 15 FL | COMPLETED

^^ And that area is getting a bit more interesting and populated with some of the planned new development going in soon. Along with the couple of hundred new hotel rooms w first and second floor commercial and retail / restaurants, there is also the plan to convert the former Catholic gift store building at 117 S Meridian along with the building to the north (111 S Meridian) and the parking lot in between - into a new 6 story residential project. Also, across the street is the planned new "Burn" cigar bar. Also - maybe the new Cambria Hotel (around 300 rooms) may also go in a block further south along Meridian along the west side of the street. CityWay II is also a block and a half to three blocks away to the east - and it will be adding another 350 - 400 new apartments along with more first floor commercial.

Yes - - it is moving along pretty quickly. I like the way it fills in that big NW corner of Penn and Georgia. With some new streetfront commercial spots going in along Penn and Georgia, it will very nicely extend the Georgia Street pedestrian corridor all the way down to Bankers Life. It will be great to have that improved, direct cross-street connectivity in place to help make it all the easier for the many thousands of people at various Bankers Life events to spill out of the Fieldhouse and quickly fill up all of the nearby places on Georgia and S. Meridian Streets. Additionally (and I don't know if this is going to happen or not) it would be great if the alley running from Pennsylvania to Meridian in the middle of the block could be upgraded to make it a better pedestrian corridor to be a direct connection from the main entrance to Bamker's Life to the middle of the Circle Centre block, one block away.
