The Fishers Planned Unit Development (PUD) Committee approved two projects Wednesday, while plans for a new hotel were pulled from the agenda shortly before the meeting began.

The proposed Fishers Fieldhouse drew the most discussion, with committee members raising questions on several details of the project. In the end, the committee was complimentary of representatives of the developer, Buckingham Companies, and gave the plans its approval.

The Fieldhouse, first announced by the city in June as part of a $169 million sixth-phase expansion of the Fishers District, will serve as the new headquarters and practice facility for the Indy Ignite, the Major League Volleyball franchise that has played its home matches at the nearby Fishers Event Center since the team’s 2025 debut. The $65 million, 180,000-square-foot building will include the 29,000-square-foot Ignite headquarters and practice facility, flex space that can be configured for 10 basketball courts or 20 volleyball courts, and 20,000 square feet of additional user space.

City officials view the Fieldhouse as a further investment in youth sports, positioning Fishers to attract large-scale basketball and volleyball tournaments. Groundbreaking is expected this fall, with the facility anticipated to open in late 2027 or early 2028.

The Crossing Curio Hotel, planned in the same general area of the Fishers District, was removed from the agenda shortly before the session began. No new date was announced for when the proposal will return.

In the committee’s other action Wednesday, plans were approved for the Story Cottage facility on Brooks School Road, a proposed 6,600-square-foot memory care facility. The proposal had been before city officials once before and is now being submitted a second time.

The Fishers Plan Commission had also been scheduled to meet Wednesday night, but the session was canceled for lack of a quorum. The next Plan Commission meeting is expected in early August.
