Downtown Indy records a 10-story hotel at 401 West Michigan Street on its development tracker under the name Waterfront Canal Centre. The scope pairs guest rooms with a multi-level parking garage and an outdoor activity area along the Central Canal. The tracker files the project under Commercial - Hospitality at Indianapolis, IN 46202.
A group sales team reads three bookable assets in that entry: guest rooms, a parking structure on site and an outdoor gathering area on the canal.
The bookable outdoor space
The outdoor activity area runs along the Central Canal. The tracker places the nearest canal-side address 385 feet northeast, at Old World Gondoliers on 340 West Michigan Street.
An outdoor area on that frontage covers the formats a small group books: a seated dinner, a standing reception and a property buyout with the outdoor area in use.
The tracker records the outdoor area in the scope and publishes no square footage for it. A group sales team needs that figure to quote a seated capacity.
Parking a group can hold
A multi-level garage inside the hotel building gives a group a parking block on the same site. A planner booking coaches, shuttles or a self-drive attendee block draws on that garage.
The tracker lists nearby lots already in operation. The Canal Square Apartments Garage sits 495 feet southwest at 359 North West Street. The Bethel AME Church Lot sits 361 feet southwest at 414 West Vermont Street. The Triangle Lot sits 461 feet east at 420 North Senate Avenue.
An on-site garage holds the group vehicles inside the property line. The tracker publishes no stall count for it.
The Indiana Avenue walk
The tracker maps the walking set for a group staying at this address. The Madam Walker Legacy Center sits 1,006 feet northwest at 617 Indiana Avenue. The Kurt Vonnegut Memorial & Library sits 664 feet northwest at 543 Indiana Avenue. The Pathways to Peace Garden sits 682 feet southeast at Indiana and Senate Avenues.
Those three venues sit inside a 1,006-foot radius of the front door. A planner building a single-venue evening can pair a reception on the canal with a programme at the Madam Walker Legacy Center.
The Central Canal as the draw
The project takes its name from the canal frontage. The recorded scope puts the outdoor activity area along the Central Canal, and the tracker places water-level activity 385 feet northeast at Old World Gondoliers on 340 West Michigan Street.
A canal setting gives a group sales team a venue story for the formats that book small: a corporate retreat, a social event and a buyout.
Timing a booking window
The tracker records a development status of Future and a date started of August 2021. It records no completion date.
A group sales team opens a booking window against a delivery date. This entry carries none, so no group dates can be held against it.
Three figures are published. The building is 10 stories. The address is 401 West Michigan Street. The scope includes a parking garage and an outdoor activity area on the canal. A planner can register the project and wait on the room count, the outdoor area square footage and the opening date.
