The Indiana mixed-use complex Eleven Park is set to break ground this May, according to local developer Keystone Group and the Indy Eleven soccer team. The project is led by a 20,000-seat multipurpose stadium that will host Indy Eleven’s home games. According to The Indianapolis Star, the project will cost $1 billion.
Eleven Park would also include a hotel, 600 apartments, and 205,000 square feet of office space. Additionally, there would be approximately 200,000 square feet of shops and restaurants, a dog park, water features, and children’s play areas, as well as public parking garages.
