Moxy Indianapolis Downtown (Capital Center)

KennMar LLC and The Ghoman Group plan to convert the top seven floors of Capital Center's south tower into Moxy Indianapolis Downtown, Indiana's first Moxy hotel. The roughly $25 million project remains in design phase pending city approvals, with reported room counts ranging from 120 to 161 and a targeted opening somewhere between 2026 and 2027.

The place

201 North Illinois Street, occupying the top seven floors of Capital Center's south tower at the intersection of Illinois and Ohio streets, downtown Indianapolis.

The concept

Capital Center South Tower is a 22-story, glass-and-granite office building completed in 1987. KennMar LLC and The Ghoman Group are converting its top seven vacant floors into Indiana's first Moxy hotel in a roughly $25 million project — a genuinely new hotel use for a tower that has only ever been office space, not a rebrand or a full-building redevelopment. Marketing material for the project describes an industrial-chic Moxy design template of social lounges and tech-forward rooms, but as of the most recent reporting the project remains in design phase pending city approvals, and no construction start date has been confirmed.

Dining & wellness

Plans call for a Bar Louie restaurant and a full-service Starbucks on the ground floor, plus a signature Moxy lobby bar — none of these has opened, since construction has not yet begun.
