MARKETPLACE AND FOOD HALL
LOCATED IN THE 16 TECH
INNOVATION DISTRICT NEAR

2
00:00:06.439 --> 00:00:13.046
DOWNTOWN INDIANAPOLIS. AND IT'S
SOMETHING THAT CENTRAL INDIANA
HAS NEVER QUITE EXPERIENCED.
SEVEN UNIQUE NEW FOOD AND

3
00:00:13.046 --> 00:00:21.688
RETAIL BUSINESSES OPENED AT THE
AMP IN JUNE INCLUDING A
TAQUERIA, FUSION CUISINE CONCEPT
AND NATURAL DRINK BAR.

4
00:00:21.688 --> 00:00:29.763

LATIN STREET FOOD, A TACO BAR
AND HEALTHY FARM-TO-TABLE SOUL
FOOD.

5
00:00:29.763 --> 00:00:36.336
WE GET MORE ON THE AMP FROM
CONCEPT DEVELOPER & GENERAL
MANAGER CRAIG BAKER.
AHEAD IN OUR NEXT HALF HOUR,

6
00:00:36.336 --> 00:00:42.075
AS ALWAYS, WELCOME TO THE
PROGRAM.
>> THANKS FOR HAVING ME.
>> ABSOLUTELY. WE VISITED WITH

7
00:00:42.075 --> 00:00:51.818
YOU, ACTUALLY MORE THAN A YEAR
AGO AND TOOK THE SHOW OUT TO 16
TECH AND COULD SEE THE CONCEPT
AND WHAT THE AMP WAS ALL B. IT'S

8
00:00:51.818 --> 00:01:04.264
COMING TO LIFE, YOU'VE GOT 23
SPOTS, 22 OF THOSE 23 ARE FILLED
WITH A VARIETY OF RESTAURANTS,
AND EATERIES. TALK ABOUT THE

9
00:01:04.264 --> 00:01:10.770
MOMENTUM.
>> YEAH, SO IT'S INTERESTING
THAT ALL THROUGH COVID, WE'VE
BEEN ABLE TO DEVELOP THIS

10
00:01:10.770 --> 00:01:18.878
MARKETPLACE, IT'S DEFINITELY
FOCUSED, WE DO HAVE SOME GROCERY
COMPONENTS, A FISH MARKET, A
BUNCH OF OTHER STUFF, A BAKERY.

11
00:01:18.878 --> 00:01:26.186
REALLY WHAT'S COMING TOGETHER IS
A COMMUNITY. A REAL SENSE OF
COMMUNITY BETWEEN THE VENDORS
AND JUST REACHING OUT TO THE

12
00:01:26.186 --> 00:01:32.659
NEIGHBORHOODS AROUND US TO GET
PEOPLE IN AND EXPOSE THEM TO ALL
THE DIFFERENT OFFERINGS.
>> AND INTERESTING, TOO, WE'RE

13
00:01:32.659 --> 00:01:40.867
SEEING VIDEO NOW, BUT THE
CONCEPT IN HOW YOU PUT THIS
TOGETHER, SHIPPING CONTAINERS,
RIGHT, ARE USED AS PART OF THE

14
00:01:40.867 --> 00:01:49.809
DEVELOPMENT OF THE AMP.
>> YEAH. 15 OF THE DIFFERENT
VENUES ARE HOUSED INSIDE
SHIPPING CONTAINERS. 20 AND

15
00:01:49.809 --> 00:01:58.618
40-FOOT CONTAINERS. WE USE THEM
TO KIND OF DELINEATE SPACE, BUT
I REALLY FEEL LIKE ONCE YOU PUT
A ROOF ON SOMETHING IT GIVES THE

16
00:01:58.618 --> 00:02:03.756
PEOPLE AN EXPERIENCE IT MAKES IT
THEIR OWN.
>> ABSOLUTELY. LET'S TALK ABOUT
16 TECH, A LIVE, WORK, INNOVATE

17
00:02:03.756 --> 00:02:11.798
COMMUNITY, IF YOU WILL, PROBABLY
THE LARGEST TALENT ATTRACTION
INITIATIVE EVER IN INDIANAPOLIS.
LOOKING TO LEVERAGE A LOT OF THE

18
00:02:11.798 --> 00:02:23.743
RESOURCES IN THAT AREA, FROM THE
I.U. MED CENTER, THE ACADEMIC
RESOURCES, CLOSE TO DOWNTOWN
INDIANAPOLIS. THE AMP -- THIS

19
00:02:23.743 --> 00:02:33.653
MARKETPLACE WHICH IS ALSO NEXT
TO A MAKER SPACE, 1776 IS THERE.
IT'S PART OF THE EQUATION, I
GUESS YOU CAN SAY. HOW IMPORTANT

20
00:02:33.653 --> 00:02:41.628
IS THE AMP AS HAVING A FOOD
COMPONENT TO THE SUCCESS OF 16
TECH?
>> WELL, I ALWAYS REFER TO AMP

21
00:02:41.628 --> 00:02:50.370
AS THE LIVING ROOM OF 16 TECH.
SO, IT'S REALLY THE AMENITY
CENTER, IT IS A GATHERING PLACE,
WE HAVE A STAGE SO WE CAN HOST

22
00:02:50.370 --> 00:02:58.378
EVENTS, WHETHER IT IS A COMPANY
DOING LIKE A LAUNCH PARTY, WE
CAN HAVE SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS,
THAT KIND OF THING. IT'S VERY

23
00:02:58.378 --> 00:03:05.852
LARGE, SO OUR STANDING ROOM
CAPACITY, I THINK, IS 1,200
PEOPLE, OR CLOSE TO IT. WE CAN
DO LARGE COMMUNITY EVENTS AND

24
00:03:05.852 --> 00:03:14.160
HOST THINGS FOR NON-PROFITS, AND
OTHER ENGAGEMENTS THAT A LOT OF
OTHER PLACES JUST CAN'T HANDLE.
>> YEAH, AS WE WRAP UP, TOO,

25
00:03:14.160 --> 00:03:19.732
CRAIG, FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T
BEEN OVER THERE, BUILDINGS ARE
UP, THINGS ARE ACTUALLY
HAPPENING. AS YOU'VE SAID,

26
00:03:19.732 --> 00:03:27.774
YOU'RE ATTRACTING IN THE AMP THE
MARKETPLACE THERE, ABOUT 300
PLUS PEOPLE A DAY FOR LUNCH.
THERE'S A LOT OF ACTIVITY TAKING

27
00:03:27.774 --> 00:03:35.381
PLACE IN 16 TECH.
>> YEAH. AND, AGAIN, WE STAY
OPEN INTO THE EVENING, AND WE'RE
GETTING A LOT OF PEOPLE BRINGING

28
00:03:35.381 --> 00:03:42.989
HAPPY HOURS AND CORPORATE GROUPS
AND THAT KIND OF THING. IT
REALLY IS A PLACE TO COME AND
GATHER AND EXPERIENCE THE

29
00:03:42.989 --> 00:03:51.097
DIFFERENT CUE SCENES THAT WE
HAVE THROUGH PEOPLE WHO ARE ALL
NEW RESTAURANTEURS.
>> CRAIG BAKER IS THE CONCEPT

30
00:03:51.097 --> 00:03:57.937
DEVELOPER AND GENERAL MANAGER AT
THE AMP. VERY INTERESTING
CONCEPT AT 16 TECH WHERE THINGS
ARE HAPPENING. CRAIG, GREAT TO
