Fishers District Nears $1 Billion Milestone as Expansion Continues

Fishers, IN · July 26, 2026

Morning fog is lifting off the reservoir just in time for a warm, music-filled Sunday across town.

📰 The Lead

The massive commercial and residential corridor known as Fishers District is rapidly closing in on a monumental financial milestone, crossing $900 million in completed and committed investments. City leaders note that additional phases currently underway by master developer Thompson Thrift and Buckingham Companies could easily push total development past the one-billion-dollar mark.

Since opening its initial retail hub off Interstate 69 in 2019, the district has maintained a stellar 95 percent occupancy rate, anchoring popular dining, hotels, and the state-of-the-art Fishers Event Center. Ongoing work includes expansions like The Union and upcoming headquarters relocations that continue to reshape the city’s economic landscape. Mayor Scott Fadness emphasized that municipal planners are already collaborating with property owners on future phases north of 116th Street.
