The Depot at Nickel Plate

The Depot at Nickel Plate provides an upscale blend of residential and retail space in a pedestrian friendly mixed-use development that helped launch the revitalization of downtown Fishers.

The lower level of the mixed-use development consists of approximately 17,000 square feet of retail, dining, and entertainment space as well as a 430-space cast-in-place parking garage. The Depot at Nickel Plate amenities includes two exterior courtyards, a fitness center, pool, leasing office, and community lounge areas.

Conveniently located just blocks from parks, trails, and Interstate 69, The Depot at Nickel Plate is the prime location for anyone looking to enjoy all that Fishers has to offer. Each apartment is equipped with stainless steel EnergyStar appliances, granite countertops, oversized soaking tubs, energy efficient lighting, and wood style flooring.

Artistry

The Artistry project revitalizes an area of downtown Indianapolis that had seemingly been forgotten. Phase 1 of the project provides an adaptive reuse solution to the former Bank One Operations Center structure by converting it to a 362,000 square foot mixed-use development, including four stories of apartments and amenity spaces over parking, office, and retail space at grade. This LEED for Homes Silver certified project defines a new gateway into the city and has served as a catalyst for development within the newly defined “Market East Cultural District. Phase 1 is considered to be the main building within a four-building mixed use development. The goals for Phase 1 were to design a building that would:

- - Serve as a gateway and catalyst for the revitalization of the Market East Cultural District.
  - Create a vibrant mixed-use development through the adaptive reuse of the former Bank One Operations Center.
  - Emphasize an urban industrial aesthetic through the physical reuse of the existing building structure.
  - Promote an urban apartment community that is enhanced by its dynamic outdoor living environment.

CSO went on to design Phase 2 of the project, which involved the addition of two buildings, the Mentor and Muse at Artistry, which provide additional living options to fit different types of lifestyles, including 354 square foot eco-suites for those who need minimal space.

Phase I of the project was particularly challenging due to the owner’s intent to build up from an existing structure. The configuration of the existing structure required that designers incorporate a number of potentially awkward column locations. Ultimately, this became a feature of the building design as the column placement dictated a wide array of residential unit variations and influenced the façade. By addressing these challenges with unique design solutions, the owner is able to offer tenants more layout options and the building boasts a more dynamic façade that brings new life to the streetscape. An open third floor pool and recreation deck provides dramatic views of the downtown area for all residents along with two interior courtyards featuring a fountain, vegetable garden, bocce court, and putting green.
