[edit] History
Metropolis was opened in October 2005 with 550,000 sq ft (51,000 m²) of retail, restaurants and entertainment venues. Once complete in 2008, the center will encompass 850,000 sq ft (79,000 m²).
Phase I is almost complete, with most shops filled. Phase II begins in Spring-Summer 2007 and will be nearly double the size of Phase I, and another major anchor store will be added. Rumors of a Macy's or Sears are floating around.
[edit] Location
Metropolis is located in Hendricks County, Indiana, the second fastest growing county in Indiana and the 62nd fastest growing county in the nation. Second only to its breakthrough retail strength is the advantage of Metropolis’ accessibility with two existing exits off of I-70 and a third under development to serve as the new main entrance for the expanding Indianapolis International Airport. In addition, US 40 is a four-lane, east-west passageway through Hendricks County directly passing Metropolis.
