LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Millions of dollars were poured into just one building as part of an effort to bring downtown Louisville back to life.
A grand opening was held Tuesday at the 500W building on West Jefferson Street, formerly PNC Plaza, near Louisville Metro Hall and Jefferson Square Park.
The "Re-imagined Downtown Office Building" has a lounge, bar, rooftop terrace, meeting spaces, indoor golf simulators, a fitness center with Peloton bikes and more. It also houses Barista Parlor's first coffee shop in Louisville on the first floor.
