- Brendon Forest Drive - a paved, dedicated street along the west length of parcel is 26' wide with curbs, gutters, and storm drainage. It was installed jointly by the owner and the contiguous owner in 1969 for development and Brendon Forest Drive was dedicated to the City. It is a cul de sac street and connects to 56th Street.

- Signage - 371' of prime frontage visible from 56th Street - an INDOT "principal arterial" street with 26,068 CPD estimated in 2016 = excellent impressions per day! Further, ultra long frontage along the access road could be very useful to marketing the development, especially when leveraged with other marketing tools.

SURROUNDING LAND & NEIGHBORHOODS
- Brendon Forest subdivision to the west - only 13 homes in the platted subdivision with covenants, although there are 16 lots, the additional lots being owned by adjacent landowners along Brendon Forest Drive. Not in the plat area is a 7 acre estate and a large home on 56th Street and Brendon Forest.
- Woolens Gardens to the north - over 70 very rugged acres was donated to City and now is a state preserve. It is not a park. There is little public use. Drops northerly down to Fall Creek Road.
- The Residences on 56th Street apartments to the east - 770 apartment units on 70 plus Acres. 2018 purchased by Fall Creek Owner LLC. Current owner, is executing a large-scale renovation.
In the Lawrence Township area, for those who want to build a new home, it appears that within a two or three mile radius there are only a half dozen building lots - all without trees. Some desire to stay in this neighborhood for its central location, convenience of direct interstate access and accessibility around town, e.g. downtown, airport, culture & work-places. Others will be attracted for proximity to private & public schools such as Cathedral, Park Tudor, Lawrence. Others will welcome the opportunity because of familiarity with the neighborhood.
Some buyers will come from surrounding neighborhoods like Avalon, Devonshire, and Ivy Hills or even back from Geist and farther northeast who want a new home -- free from the commuting hassle and the parking lot that I-69 and other roads going north have become at commuting hours. This location - close to I-465 and 56th Street entrance/exit drove purchases of custom homes in Lake Charlevoix just north of this property - across Fall Creek, and that was several years before the present gridlock.
Hundreds of new jobs have been added at the Finance Center and Village at Fort Harrison. There is no more master planned residential land at Fort Harrison - Fort Harrison Reuse Authority.
