Thompson Thrift announced this week that Cunningham Restaurant Group and Flower Child have signed leases at The Union at Fishers District, adding two more dining options to the growing mixed-use development.
According to the developer, the new leases further strengthen The Union’s position as a dining, retail and lifestyle destination within the Fishers District.
Cunningham Restaurant Group (CRG), an Indianapolis-based hospitality company with a portfolio that includes Rize, BRU Burger Bar, Provision, Livery and Vida, has leased a two-story building at the site. Plans call for approximately 5,700 square feet of fine dining on the second floor and a 2,400-square-foot bar on the ground level offering small plates. The concept is still being finalized and is expected to be unique to the Fishers market and to CRG’s portfolio. The restaurant will become the newest addition to CRG’s more than 20 concepts operating in Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky.
Flower Child will open its second Indianapolis-area location at The Union after securing a 3,500-square-foot freestanding building. The restaurant is known for its customizable menu featuring bowls, wraps, salads, vegetables, grains, fruits and proteins designed to accommodate a variety of dietary preferences. The Fishers location will add to Flower Child’s expanding national footprint.
Thompson Thrift said it has also recently signed leases with Dot Sugar, a specialty desserts and beverages shop, and The Oakmont, a restaurant and bar. Previously announced tenants at The Union include Piedra, Kitchen Social, Niku Sushi, Everbowl, Racha Thai, Renova Aesthetics, Sweathouz, Unplug Soy Candles and a jewelry store.
Several spaces remain available within the development, including two retail or restaurant spaces scheduled for third-quarter delivery, approximately 1,300 square feet at the base of the new Cunningham Restaurant Group building, about 4,800 divisible square feet at the base of the 250-unit Union Flats apartment community, and roughly 70,000 square feet of Class A office space.
The Union is located near Interstate 69 and 116th Street and is one of five developments within the master-planned Fishers District. The project includes retail and restaurant space, Class A office space, a 135-room AC Hotels by Marriott, a luxury multifamily community and structured parking.
Thompson Thrift began work on the Fishers District in 2015. When completed, the $750 million, 123-acre development will feature multifamily housing, townhomes, hotels, office space, dining, shopping and entertainment connected by pedestrian-friendly walkways.
