Thompson Thrift is developing The Yard near IKEA in Fishers, and another project is in their plans next door. The Stations will have a mixed-use building with office and retail, a commercial building, a hotel, and approximately 50 town-homes on roughly 8.6
acres of land.
The Fishers Plan Commission unanimously approved a favorable recommendation to the Fishers City Council, moving The Stations development forward. The Fishers planning staff recommended approval of this project, but included this statement in their report:
“Staff would like to clarify some misinformation that was delivered by the media. The Stations at Fishers District PUD (Planned Unit Development) is a separate development from The Yard at Fishers District. The Stations PUD previously existed as a commercial development and this amendment allows for greater connectivity to both the Exit 5 PUD and the Kroger commercial center and the adjacent Yard at Fishers District PUD. The Yard at Fishers District has currently secured 11 restaurants, with 80% of the square footage dedicated to restaurant uses. The Stations at Fishers District will be a separate adjacent development with a mix of office, retail, hotel and residential uses.”
I asked Steve Hardin of Faegre Baker Daniels, the attorney representing Thompson Thrift, about The Stations…here is the video of that conversation:
