The rethinking of a conventional office park, Carmel Gateway is the latest big idea to be proposed in Carmel, Indiana, the city of roundabouts.
Rubenstein [Partners] reached out to Speck & Associates, who teamed up with the Principle Group to reconceptualize the roughly 50-acre study area as a neighborhood that balances office, housing, retail, and recreational uses. (Full disclosure, this article’s author managed the project for Principle). The goal was to supplement the site’s already good vehicular and cycling access with a fully walkable destination that would proclaim to visitors Carmel’s commitment to high-quality urbanism.
