From the Indianapolis Business Journal, September 14, 2018 article by Haleigh Colombo:
Indianapolis-based Keystone Realty Group has signed a license agreement with InterContinental Hotel & Resorts to occupy the 145,000-square-foot Illinois Building. The hotel would have 180 rooms, and Keystone would seek to add two additional restaurants, as well as add an 11th floor that would house a rooftop restaurant and bar offering views of Monument Circle.

Founded in 1946, InterContinental is considered the world’s first international luxury hotel brand. There are about 180 InterContinental Hotels in 60 countries, but only 26 in the United States. The nearest is in Chicago.

DMD staff said the Illinois Building project would create 250 construction jobs and 262 full-time hospitality positions paying average hourly wages of $16.34 per hour.

Indianapolis-based Ratio Architects will serve as the architect on the project.

Keystone said it anticipates starting construction in the fourth quarter, with the project lasting 12 to 14 months.
