273 New Apartments Break Ground Near the Event Center
Fishers, IN · October 20, 2026
Dense fog is sitting low across the eastern roundabouts early today, so give the brake lights ahead an extra beat of space. Once it burns off, there is plenty moving across town.
The Lead
Construction began this week on The Crossing Lofts, launching the next major residential chapter in the expanding entertainment district east of Interstate 69. Developer Thompson Thrift announced Monday that site work is officially underway on the four-story, 273-unit multifamily community situated directly alongside the 7,500-seat Fishers Event Center.
The project incorporates roughly 10,000 square feet of ground-floor commercial space paired with attached structured parking, aiming to integrate street-level retail with high-density living. Planned layouts span from studios to two-bedroom apartments, complemented by a heated courtyard pool and outdoor gathering spaces. For surrounding neighborhoods watching the south district evolve, the build marks the deliberate transition of once-vacant parcels into an active sports and hospitality corridor. Foundation machinery is already running on site, with initial resident move-ins scheduled for January 2028.

Spotlight & Story
- Heady Hollow
- For decades, travelers along Allisonville Road reported hair-raising screams echoing from the ravine between 126th and 131st Streets, attributing them to an alleged ghost school fire. County records revealed the school never burned; the eerie wails actually came from nocturnal bobcats prowling the creek.
