“The corner of Capitol Avenue and Georgia Street is highly-visible, especially to those visiting the Indiana Convention Center and Lucas Oil Stadium, so we saw it as the perfect place to establish a downtown visitors center and souvenir shop. Catherine tapped into her real estate savvy and creative skill set to reimagine part of the ground floor of the Pan Am Tower and transform it into a dynamic, welcoming space for downtown visitors. She managed the process from feasibility study through opening day and continues to develop and manage the brand and partnerships. We could not have asked for a better person to tackle this project!”
