Thompson Thrift, which developed the Fishers District commercial and residential development near I-69 & 116th Street before selling the project, is set to start construction Monday on a new 242-unit single family “build-for-rent community” in the same general area of Fishers. The apartments should be ready for tenants in the first quarter of 2023.
“We continue to see demand from renters that want the maintenance-free benefits and amenities of traditional apartments with the space and comforts of single-family homes,” said Eric Wojak, Thompson Thrift vice president, in a company news release. “With its location in the highly rated Hamilton Southeastern School District and its proximity to excellent employment, and the retail and dining options at Fishers District, we expect leasing interest at the Slate development to be robust.”
The development will be situated on 25 acres in the southeast quadrant of I-69 and 116th Street. “Slate at Fishers District” will consist of one, two and three-bedroom villas, along with three- and four-bedroom townhomes. The residences will average 1,215 square feet and will feature amenities such as gourmet bar-kitchens with quartz countertops; stainless steel appliances; 10-foot ceilings with designer light fixtures; walk-in closets with custom wood shelving; full-size washers and dryers, smart home technology, and much more. “Slate at Fishers District” will also feature a clubhouse, 24-hour fitness center, resort style swimming pool with cabanas and bark parks and doggie spas.
