The barlow

The Barlow is a $22 million investment in downtown Plainfield, IN.

Together with the Town Officials and project partners, Rebar Development broke ground on the $22 million mixed-use project at 204 E. Main Street on October 1, 2019. An integral part of the Town of Plainfield’s Downtown Redevelopment Plan, The Barlow brings housing, additional commercial tax base, and investment to the area.

Located on the northwest corner of S. Avon Avenue and Main Street (U.S. 40), the gateway project will welcome residents and visitors to downtown Plainfield.  The Barlow is a four-story, architecturally significant building, and includes 116 modern apartments, more than 3,000 square feet of commercial space, and a surface parking lot with 154 spaces. Additional improvements include a walkable streetscape with urban landscaping and quality of life enhancements.

The project brings much-needed density and housing to the downtown corridor—a goal outlined in the Downtown Redevelopment Plan. With high-end building amenities—including a coworking center and conference room, dog park and pet washing facilities, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and a courtyard with outdoor kitchen and lounge—and luxury in-unit furnishings, the 116 apartments will help attract and retain young professionals and empty nesters. In addition, 14 of the apartments are designated for workforce housing, offering an urban-living option at an affordable market rate.

Named after James Milton Barlow, a local prominent business- and serviceman from the late nineteenth century, The Barlow celebrates a part of Plainfield’s history and brings new commercial opportunity to the area. Plans for the 3,000 square feet of commercial space include street-level, studio retail suites with high visibility facing Main Street.
