"Interestingly, koi, when put in a fish bowl, will only grow up to three inches. When this same fish is placed in a large tank, it will grow to about nine inches long. In a pond koi can reach lengths of eighteen inches. Amazingly, when placed in a lake, koi can grow to three feet long. The metaphor is obvious. You are limited by how you see the world."

An upscale Dolce hotel and 27,000-square-foot YMCA are among the tenants slated for a $150 million mixed-use development being built on 10 acres of land Eli Lilly and Co. owns near its Indianapolis headquarters.

The development, details of which were announced at a Monday morning news conference, also include plans for 320 high-end apartments and 40,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space.

The city plans to fund the project by issuing bonds, using income generated by the development to pay off the costs, pending approval by the City-County Council. Indianapolis also plans to provide $90 million in tax-increment financing for sewer and street improvements. Council members are expected to vote on the financing by the end of the year.
