When Mayor Scott Fadness was asked what people in Fishers told him they wanted the most, he said the most common request was creation of a “restaurant culture.” When Thompson Thrift developed the Fishers District, it made a large leap toward creating that local restaurant culture.
Thompson Thrift developed the original Fishers District, and is embarking on expanding the concept further south, in conjunction with the city’s new Events Center, now under construction.
The expanded Fishers District has a new name. Thompson Thrift announced Wednesday that the expanded Fishers District will be given the moniker of – “The Crossing at Fishers District.”
“Anytime there’s a name for a development, it helps build energy and creates a buzz for the community,” said Ashlee Boyd, managing partner, Thompson Thrift Commercial, in a company news release. “The Crossing at Fishers District has the added benefit of being a name that pays homage to Fishers history as a railroad community.”
Located near Interstate 69 and 116th Street, The Crossing at Fishers District is within walking distance from Fishers Depot, the historic Fishers train station that opened in 1849.
Once completed, the $750 million development will span 123 acres and will be comprised of five distinct developments offering a mix of multifamily, townhome, hotel, dining, shopping and entertainment options. The developments will be connected by walking paths.
