Carson to HELP BREAK GROUND on downtown HOUSING development

Indianapolis Housing Agency, local officials to highlight $30 million project

INDIANAPOLIS, IN – June 29, 2011 – (RealEstateRama) — Congressman André Carson will join the Indianapolis Housing Agency (IHA) and local officials to break ground Wednesday on a $30 million project that will revitalize Lugar Tower in downtown Indianapolis and build a brand new mixed-use, mixed-income development at the tower’s base.

The renovations are part of IHA’s $123 million campaign to improve local affordable housing communities across the city.

Lugar Tower, a 15-story apartment building housing more than 200 low-income elderly and disabled residents, has seen little investment since its construction in 1974. IHA officials will outline the overhaul plans for the tower, as well as kick-off the construction of a new $15 million, 74-unit apartment development being built just west of the tower.
