You may have noticed construction activity next to the Forum Credit Union headquarters, just a short distance from the Fishers Event Center. That site is the future home of The Union, a major new development by Thompson Thrift. On Wednesday morning, city officials, Thompson Thrift representatives, and other stakeholders gathered for a ceremonial groundbreaking.

Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness addressed the crowd, expressing his enthusiasm for what this development represents. He pointed to the growing synergy among The Union, the neighboring Fishers District, and the new Event Center as a sign of the city’s unique momentum.

“This is going to be a place like no other in the state of Indiana,” Fadness said. He praised Thompson Thrift Managing Partner Ashlee Boyd for his vision and collaboration in bringing both Fishers District and The Union to life.

Boyd spoke about the decade-long process to get the project underway, which included early negotiations with residents of the longtime Springdale Estates neighborhood. He also thanked city officials for their continued support in making The Union a reality.

Representatives from two restaurants slated to open in The Union—Everbowl and Oakmont—also offered brief remarks.

The Union will feature:

• 57,000 square feet of retail, restaurant, and entertainment space

• 70,000 square feet of Class A office space

• A 135-room AC Hotel
