Transforming an icon in N.E. Indianapolis - With our community
Skysoar Capital LLP is leading a visionary 33-acre redevelopment in N.E. Indianapolis. The existing Devington Plaza is currently zoned C4. A more flexible and sustainable MU2 designation is currently under consideration and will blend housing, commerce, and recreation as a meaningful strategy towards revitalization. Our team is looking closely at what opportunities and challenges exist and what the area market can support. We look forward to showcasing what our data and demographic research, and reports are recommending as the highest and best use of the space.
Devington Plaza is and always will be a regional shopping experience that everyone loves to remember. Our team understands the time that it takes to listen and work along side local stakeholders, schools, and neighbors to imagine something for today’s market. We want a development mix that we can all be proud of. In this way we have taken our time to be good listeners, meet individually, and include all voices.
Housing for Essential Workers, Teachers, Seniors, and Veterans
Following our June 6th, 2024 community meeting. We heard neighbors share great ideas and concepts. We agreed that Devington Plaza required a “destination” appeal that was authentic, modern, and sustainable - we agreed. We also took another look at our housing strategy and are looking at co generational housing concepts focused on seniors, educators, and first responders. We understand the City of Indianapolis needs $39,000 new housing units to meet the needs and growth of our city. We imagine a Devington Plaza that will be a place for gamers, grandmas, professionals, and service members looking for a new living experience with an “atomic” appeal and modern amenities.
Our goal is to address the city’s housing shortage with quality housing options, as the area has seen little to no new housing projects in over 30 years.
A new Pedestrian Plaza that is anchored by a state of the art community hub with a “competitive” theme
One character defining feature will be a vibrant pedestrian & art plaza that will support food trucks, community events, and soft infrastructure strategies around water reclamation, art, landscape, and music. The “eatertainment” concept will invite families, tailgaters, and students to a dynamic community hub focused on entertainment, education, and hospitality. We believe Devington Plaza could support a regional esports community, indoor/outdoor roller-skating rink, and family focused eatery.
Dynamic Commercial & Greenspace Development
With 110,000 sq. ft. of commercial space and a signature plaza hosting year-round events, the project supports local businesses, including regional and national retailers.
Sustainability & Waterway Restoration
Restoring local tributaries and removing decades of waste, the plan integrates walking paths and ecological improvements, promoting both environmental and community health.
Driven by Trusted Local Partners
w/Purpose LLC is an Urban + Public design studio founded in N.E. Indianapolis. Our team was commissioned by BWi Development in 2024 to spearhead a design and master plan for Skysoar. As a practice we prioritize a “design with” versus a “design for” process. This process ensures the project evolves with community input, setting a standard for intentional, people-first development.
