Pop quiz: Remember the Elanco Animal Health Inc. headquarters currently under construction west of downtown? While the 220,000-sqft building will take up a big chunk of space, what will sit on the rest of the 40 acre lot?

To be honest, we don’t have an answer for you yet — but one may be coming soon. The Indiana Economic Development Corp. is seeking multiple buyers for 30 acres at the site, with prospective usage ranging from research to housing to retail.

Here’s how the new plan, which splits the area into 18 lots, breaks down:

  • 550,000 sqft of research and development hub space
  • 1.6 million sqft of housing space
  • 1.2 million sqft of office space
  • 290,000 sqft of retail space

While the site waits for its new occupants, it’s also been christened with a new name: Levee. It’s a nod to both the nearby White River and the Latin word “levare,” which means “to lift up.”
