The “North of North” development planned for downtown Fishers is quickly moving its way through the local governmental approval process.  This past week, the Town Hall Building Corporation approved the project agreements (yes, it still has the town name even though Fishers is now a city), then the Economic Development Commission and the Redevelopment Commission passed resolutions moving the project forward.

The $47 million development will feature mixed use residential, some commercial space and a new headquarters building for RQAW, an architectural and engineering firm.  The complex will feature the ability of people to own businesses on the first floor and live in the upper residential area, creating a “live-work” concept.  A total of 240 residential units are planned.

Nearby Meyer Najem will claim 100 parking places in the 508-space garage as part of “North of North.”  RQAW will also lay claim to 100 of those spaces.

The city is offering $16.5 million in incentives.

Construction is expected to begin later this year, with a projected completion date in the summer of 2018.
