The City of Indianapolis contributed $5.6 million in land for the project and expended $17 million in tax-increment financing money for infrastructure. City officials were highly engaged in the building's design, requiring a curvilinear building that would include a grocery store.[6]
The project experienced a series of setbacks during construction. Contaminated soil, structural problems, and contractor payment disputes delayed the tower's opening by over a year.[1] The project's height was also shortened following the design phase. Initially, 360 Market Square was set to be the ninth tallest building in Indianapolis and the tallest residential building in Indiana.[4]
