Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness on Wednesday announced a $169 million sixth-phase expansion of Fishers District.

Project highlights include JD Finish Line’s new North American headquarters and the Fishers Fieldhouse, a 180,000 square-foot facility designed to serve both professional and youth sports.

“With JD North America’s headquarters anchoring today’s announcement, not only are we bringing hundreds of jobs to Fishers, but we’re building on Fishers’ next chapter,” Fadness said. “The Fishers Fieldhouse will not only serve as the new HQ for Indy Ignite, providing world-class practice facilities just steps from their home court, but also continue our investments in youth sports. We’re continuing our investment in building a destination Fishers residents can be proud of.”

The expansion also includes a new HQ and practice facility for the Indy Ignite and new apartments and townhomes.

JD North America Headquarters

JD North America, home to the JD and Finish Line brands, will establish its corporate headquarters at the 350,000 square-foot Link building at 11100 USA Pkwy. – the former headquarters of Navient.

The company will acquire and remodel the building, with renovations beginning in 2027. More than 400 existing corporate employees will relocate to the new headquarters, with plans to add 200 more jobs in the coming years.

Fishers Fieldhouse

Officials also unveiled plans for the $65 million Fishers Fieldhouse, which will break ground in fall 2026 and is expected to open in late 2027 or early 2028. The facility will serve as the official training and headquarters home for Major League Volleyball’s Indy Ignite. The team will have a 29,000 square-foot home base for practice, training, and front office operations, located steps from its home court at the Fishers Event Center.

“After two incredible seasons, the construction of our beautiful new headquarters at Fishers Fieldhouse, within walking distance of our home court at Fishers Event Center, is a critical next step in the evolution of the Indy Ignite,” said Mary Kay Huse, the team’s president and general manager.

The fieldhouse will also feature flex space for 10 basketball or 20 volleyball courts to host large-scale youth tournaments. Pro Net Sports will expand its operations at the facility, launching the Indy Hoops Academy Girls basketball program and a new AAU boys basketball program.

Residential & mixed-use development

Plans also call for a 50-acre mixed-use development site adjacent to the Fishers Event Center. Buckingham Companies says the development, called Contrast | Fishers, will add 167 studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments and 98 three- and four-bedroom townhomes. Buckingham plans to break ground in 2026 with an anticipated completion in late 2028.

Next steps

Mayor Fadness will present the proposed economic development agreements to the Fishers City Council at its June 15 meeting. Incentives tied to the project are subject to the terms of the economic development agreement, and the city reserves the right to reclaim incentives if those terms are not met.
