Mixed use development project featuring former Coca-Cola bottling plant altered

The proposed mixed-use development project that involves the former Coca-Cola Bottling Plant in Shelbyville has been altered.

Birge & Held, the Indianapolis-based developer of the project, overcame sanitary and sewer issues by splitting the retail and residential project into two structures.

The original design had two structures of retail and apartments connected together. The new design includes a drivable path in between both buildings.

The former Coca-Cola plant, 405 N. Harrison St., is a likely destination point for potential breweries or restaurants with additional retail space located directly behind the plant.

 

 

A second building will include additional apartments and a parking area for residential use located near the Porter Center, the former home of Porter Pool.

No apartment units were lost in the redesign. The project will still include 168 apartment units from studio up to 3-bedroom units.

There was no formal presentation made Monday at the city’s Plan Commission meeting at City Hall. That is expected to come at the Plan Commission’s July meeting.

The new design was scheduled to go through the city’s technical review process today. The goal is to start construction in the fall of 2022.
