Development & Projects

Taxman Hospitality Group pursues hospitality-led development projects that activate underutilized sites, strengthen downtowns, and create long-term value for communities. Our approach is grounded in real-world operating experience and a belief that successful places are built intentionally and built to last.

Our Development Approach

Operator-Led by Design

Unlike traditional developers, we approach every project first as operators. By owning and operating our brands, we design spaces that function day to day—aligning layout, concept, and guest flow with long-term operational success.

Focused on Place

Our work emphasizes infill, adaptive reuse, and downtown redevelopment. We look for opportunities where hospitality can serve as an anchor—bringing consistent traffic, energy, and activation to walkable districts and neighborhood corridors.

Built for Longevity

We take a long-term view of our projects, favoring flexibility and operational relevance over short-term trends. The result is hospitality destinations designed to grow alongside the communities they serve.

OUR FOCUS

Infill & Adaptive Reuse

Transforming existing buildings and underutilized parcels into vibrant hospitality destinations.

Downtown & Neighborhood Anchors

Projects that drive foot traffic, support surrounding businesses, and create gathering places for the community.

Multi-Concept & Experiential Hospitality

From restaurants and markets to event-driven and entertainment-adjacent concepts that extend beyond traditional dining.

Adaptive Reuse Projects

Many of our projects begin with buildings and sites that are overlooked, underutilized, or considered challenging to redevelop. We view these conditions as opportunities—preserving what matters, solving for what doesn’t, and reimagining spaces in ways that respect their history while supporting long-term use.

Our approach to adaptive reuse is grounded in practicality and care. We prioritize retaining architectural character where it adds value, integrating new construction only where necessary, and designing spaces that function effectively for hospitality operations day to day. The result is redevelopment that feels intentional, authentic, and rooted in place.

Across both small-town and urban contexts, we’ve worked with historic structures, constrained parcels, and fragmented sites—transforming them into active destinations that support surrounding businesses, strengthen downtown fabric, and extend the useful life of existing buildings.

The redevelopment preserved historic character while introducing modern, flexible dining and private event spaces, reinforcing walkability and supporting Fortville’s continued downtown revitalization.

Urban adaptive reuse project preserving an 1850s livery—the only remaining historic structure on the block—while infilling an underutilized site to create an active hospitality and event destination. Integrated within a modern mixed-use district, the redevelopment brings new life and consistent activation to a formerly overlooked site.

Multi-Concept Redevelopment

Some redevelopment opportunities call for more than a single use. In select projects, we take a multi-concept approach—layering complementary hospitality experiences within a single structure to drive all-day activation, operational efficiency, and a stronger sense of place.

On North Baldwin Street in Bargersville, Taxman Hospitality Group undertook a coordinated redevelopment that combined selective demolition and new construction while preserving the adjacent Masonic lodge. The property was reimagined as three distinct yet integrated hospitality environments: Pizza & Libations, Cellar’s Market, and Up Cellar—each with its own identity and audience, yet designed to function cohesively within a shared structure.

By coordinating design, infrastructure, and operations across concepts, this model allows us to unlock underutilized buildings and serve different audiences throughout the day within a single site. The result is consistent activation, efficient operations, and a redevelopment that remains active, relevant, and community-serving across seasons.
