On a pass on the Clarian People Mover yesterday, I observed that the majority of the low-rise section of the YMCA had been razed, while the larger 4-story structure was still standing. The Indy Star reports that Buckingham expects the demolition to last through the end of June.
Buckingham also recently filed for a variance to their pre-approved siteplan that will be heard by the Metropolitan Development Commission Hearing Examiner tomorrow at 1pm. The variance relates to underground utilities that have been deemed cost-prohibitive to relocate. The proposed siteplan is below, and it appears to show utility lines entering the site at the NE corner of the intersection of 10th St. and Indiana Ave. (apologies about the bluriness -- this is the quality provided in the online staff report).
10th St. at bottom, Brooks St. at right, and Indiana Ave. angling off the left edge of the siteplan. Note that the plan appears to show 13 curb-side parking spaces on 10th St.
According to the variance filing, the 5-story commercial/residential structure lining 10th St. has been shortened by 60' and the 4-story residential structure at the western edge of the site has been elongated by the same 60'. This would theoretically retain the residential capacity of the project. However, as the ground floor of the 10th St. structure is to house the commercial space, it's not immediately clear what effect this adjustment will have on that aspect of the project.

As Abkhazia remains largely depopulated because of the ethnic cleansing of the Georgian population, Moscow exerts pressure on “the Abkhaz leadership” to further alter the demographics of the region by granting the Russian citizens a right to freely purchase real estate and other property in Abkhazia,
doesn't really have to do with the building, anyway, it looks like they really 'value engineered' the hell out of that building... renderings were definitely better.
