Indianapolis, Indiana – As part of the Near Eastside Legacy Project, Keystone Construction, the Super Bowl 2012 Legacy Housing Committee, Indy-east Asset Development and Riley Area Development Corporation celebrated the grand opening of St. Clair Senior Apartments on January 10, 2012.

Located at 945 N. Keystone Avenue (2400 block of East 10^th Street, Indianapolis, Ind.), This $6.5 million project includes 33 brand new one- and two-bedroom senior living apartments, each approximately 780 square feet. The building was equipped with a VRF (variable refrigerant flow) HVAC system, security camera and access system, resident assistance monitoring systems, LED lighting, Energy Star rated appliances and low flow plumbing fixtures. Moreover, the facility provides common conference/amenity areas, a rain garden and surface parking featuring permeable pavers and an outdoor LED lighting system. The ground floor of the building includes 3,600 square feet of retail space.

In addition to living in a well-designed affordable apartment, residents at St. Clair benefit from the proximity to the Senior Center across the street at the John H. Boner Community Center, as well as the new People’s Health and Dental Center.

In the past, the NFL provided each Super Bowl host city with $1 million to be matched locally to renovate, expand or build a youth center to be a lasting legacy of the impact the big game has on the community. But with Indianapolis’ history of innovation and dreaming big, the 2012 Indianapolis Super Bowl Host Committee had a much broader vision. Rather than a single building or project, Indianapolis’ Super Bowl Legacy Project would include an entire section of the city—21 neighborhoods known as the “Near Eastside.” Near Eastside residents were already hard at work on their quality of life plan to transform their declining community to be a model for neighborhood revitalization across the city.

Thanks to the ongoing efforts of the residents and the added momentum gained from the Legacy Project, which has attracted numerous public and private partners, more than $154 million in public and private funds is being invested in revitalizing Indianapolis’ Near Eastside.

The East 10th Street Civic Association, Indy-east Asset Development, the John H. Boner Community Center, Near Eastside Community Organization (NESCO) and the Englewood Community Development Corporation are the lead agencies working with the Super Bowl Host Committee and numerous public and private partners to create a lasting legacy on four fronts: 1) Chase Near Eastside Legacy Center and Youth Education Town (Family education, health and fitness); 2) Mixed-Income Housing Development and Redevelopment; 3) Business and Economic Development, and Infrastructure Improvements; and 4) Special Events and Promotions.
