The Pyramids, a prominent landmark in Indianapolis since 1972, comprise three 11-story buildings spanning a total of 366,704 square feet. Acquired in 2022 by KennMar, a real estate investment firm headquartered in Indianapolis, the aim of the acquisition was to rejuvenate and contemporize this famous destination. KennMar’s renovation effort includes completely remodeling the buildings’ fitness center, tenant lounge, conference center, elevator lobbies and other public areas.
The new design brings new life to the complex while enhancing the qualities that make it iconic. The renovation project was driven by a vision to infuse a modern essence into the existing office space while preserving the original design ethos crafted by Kevin Roche John Dinkeloo and Associates. Central to this design was a restoration of the building's exterior, paying homage to its architectural heritage. Efforts were concentrated on revitalizing the concrete surfaces, with repairs and a rejuvenating recoating in a lighter hue to impart a contemporary aesthetic, new entrances and exterior lighting.
Through homage to the original design, thoughtful enhancements to accessibility, and a reinvention of communal spaces, the Pyramids now offer a dynamic environment that fosters connectivity and well-being.
