McCord Square housing: 205 apartments now, townhouses and 500 to 600 houses planned

The delivered housing is rental: 205 one- and two bedroom apartments in two buildings of about 111,000 square feet each, sitting over ground floor commercial. That is flat plate apartment product, four stories of it, and nothing in McCordsville outside this address is built that way. The town spent about fifteen years planning before the 2021 approval, and the roughly $250 million of further construction projected over the decade after 2025 means the site will keep changing. Leo's Market and Eatery, Le Peep and Rita's Italian Ice occupy the retail, a central green with an amphitheater is planned, and the for sale townhouse product has not been delivered as of this writing.

For window work, the practical division is between what exists and what's coming. The apartments give you a repeatable unit type: measure one two bedroom plan and the next one on that stack is very likely the same, which is the opposite of the 1865 plat half a mile southwest where nothing repeats. The planned townhouses and the 500 to 600 single family homes will be different stock again, closer to what Fischer Homes is building at Hampton Walk than to anything at The Jackson. Until those go vertical there is no window schedule to quote from, and no published home size, price band or elevation set to work from either.

Windows at The Jackson and The Lucas: few openings, shallow pockets

Four to nine openings per unit is the working figure, inferred from one- and two bedroom plans in a building of this size rather than from a survey. Everything is new, so the square check that dominates work on the 1865 plat is a formality here: these openings are as close to true as anything in Hancock County. What replaces it as the governing constraint is mounting depth. Apartment construction of this type sets the window tight to a thin wall build up, the return is drywall with nothing to screw into outside the jamb line, and the return edge chips if a bracket is driven at the wrong angle. We measure the pocket at four points and compare it to the published headrail depth, not to an estimate.

The shapes are large fixed units and sliding doors onto balconies. No two story glass exists at McCord Square, so none of the reach and stack height math that a Brookside foyer needs applies here. Wide fixed units bring their own problem: a roller tube spanning a long opening will deflect in the middle unless it's sized for the span and carried on a center support bracket, and adding that bracket changes how the fabric sits at the middle of the roll. Exposure has not been established for these buildings, which means the openness factor gets decided unit by unit rather than by a rule for the address.

What actually works in a McCord Square apartment

Three things drive the specification here and none of them is squareness. Shallow depth rules out the bulkier hardware. A short opening count, 4 to 9 rather than the 18 to 28 of a production two story, means the per window budget can go further than it would on a whole house job in Villages at Brookside. And the buildings face a working town center rather than a subdivision interior, so the ground and second floors look out at the NineStar Connect office and the retail row rather than at a back yard, which pushes daytime privacy up the list. National installed ranges are the only honest pricing reference: custom shades run $250 to $2,600 per window and stock product runs $60 to $600. Custom fabrication takes 2 to 5 weeks and nothing about this is urgent.

Around McCord Square

McCord Square sits on Broadway at CR 600W, immediately northeast of the 1865 town plat, and it's the reason those old blocks are now walkable to a clinic and a restaurant row. The town's own police headquarters moved into 18,000 square feet here in 2024, and NineStar Connect took 36,400 square feet of office. Residents of the apartments are inside the Mt. Vernon Community School Corporation boundary like everyone else in town, feeding McCordsville Elementary and Mt. Vernon Middle School. No plat level street index exists for McCord Square in the county address data, so we work from the building name and unit number rather than a subdivision street list.

Town design review at McCord Square, and what it does not cover

McCordsville runs its own Architectural Review Committee alongside a Plan Commission and a Board of Zoning Appeals, and it has adopted overlay ordinances, which is unusual for a town of 13,094 people. At McCord Square that review is real, because the town is the master developer of the project. It is also review of buildings, not of what a resident puts inside a window, and we won't pretend otherwise. In the apartments the operative rule is the lease and the owner's policy on anchoring into walls, since The Jackson and The Lucas sit under single ownership. For the planned townhouses and the 500 to 600 single family homes, covenants will exist eventually but haven't been recorded yet, so nobody can quote you a window covering rule for them today.
