News Notes

Development

Earlier this week, the city of Indianapolis said that the redevelopment project at downtown’s Pan Am Plaza would cost around $752 million — but has updated that figure to ~$1.6 billion. The increase reflects the total debt the city will owe on hundreds of millions of dollars in bonds. (IBJ)

Coming Soon

RaceTrac is getting ready to open its first Indiana convenience store in mid-December. It’s located in the 7600 block of Pendleton Pike, on the northeast corner of I-465 in Indianapolis. A second location is set to open in late spring 2024, near I-70 and West Morris Street. (CBS4)

Real Estate

A recently renovated single-family home in the Lockerbie Square neighborhood hit the market for $1.15 million. The 3,200-sqft home features a modern + sophisticated design with a 1,500-sqft rooftop deck that spans the entirety of the home and garage. Take a look. (WISH)

Holiday

If you’re a big fan of the Circle of Lights, now’s your chance to get a front row seat to the festivities in the Holiday Hype Zone. All you need to do is fill out a quick survey to be considered. (WTHR)

Seasonal

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree. If your family opts for a live tree, now’s the time to start deciding where to get it from. Check out this list of local tree farms. (IndyStar)

Number

155. That’s how many high school seniors from across Indiana signed letters of intent this month to play college baseball, cementing our state’s status as a baseball hotbed. Home run. (WISH)

Feel Good

Friday was National Adoption Day and 32 Hoosier kids were welcomed into their forever homes. More than 200 kids in Indiana are waiting to be adopted. Learn more about the adoption process. (WRTV)

If you’ve lived in the Butler-Tarkington area or even just driven down Michigan Road north of Newfields, you’ve probably seen a large gate with a towering wall. That gate, which was once closed to the public, is now officially open.

The $14 million estate formerly owned by the late philanthropist, businesswoman, and community leader Christel DeHaan is now an RH gallery and restaurant.

The estate is one of the most accurate Palladian-style villas ever built in the US, with 60+ rooms. It also features a wine bar + terrace that opens up to a 35-acre private lake and gardens, as well as an interior design studio and artistic installations.

RH Indianapolis, The Gallery at the DeHaan Estate is located on ~150 acres at 4501 N. Michigan Rd. and is open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday through Saturday.

You have to see it to believe it, but check out our Instagram for a sneak peek inside.

The Wrap

From the editor

The DeHaan Estate is truly remarkable. Viewing the property and sitting in the dining area — I was in awe the entire time. It’s hard to believe you’re in Indianapolis. Personally, I think visiting the wine bar and restaurant would make a perfect date night. Pro tip: You’ll want to make a reservation.
