October 2018 Chapter Meeting:
Penrose on Mass
The Mass Ave. cultural district in downtown Indianapolis continues to grow rapidly and thrive. To continue the excitement in the eclectic neighborhood, Penrose on Mass was planned to provide retail space and apartments to compliment the community. Schmidt Associates designed the space to have a modern feel while being sympathetic to the historic neighborhood; all while contributing to the neighborhood’s economy. With 40,000 sq. ft. of retail space and 235 apartment units, Penrose on Mass delivers on the neighborhood’s needs for a growing economy.
