Downtown Living Tour a Smashing Success

October 8, 2014

Last month, Axis participated in the 2014 Downtown Living Tour presented by Indianapolis Monthly. As proud as we were to show off the fantastic Axis project, which is now leasing, we were even more excited to learn this week that over $13,000 was raised for IPS Education Foundation, an organization that serves IPS students by working to create innovative, quality learning environments.

Marsh, located in the Axis building, served delicious food to our roughly 500 guests on Friday, September 12, which proved to be a cool late summer night. The Downtown Living Tour featured new and exciting developments in downtown Indianapolis. Another 500 guests toured the Axis property on Saturday, September 13 as part of the Tour.
