Thompson Thrift, a full-service nationally recognized real estate company, announced today a series of significant milestones at The Union at Fishers District, including the opening of its first restaurant, the arrival of its first residents and continued progress on commercial leasing and public amenities as the final phase of the $750 million master-planned development nears completion.

“Our goal has always been to create a vibrant, connected destination where people can live, work, dine and spend time together,” said Dan Sink, president and chief financial officer of Thompson Thrift Development. “With residents now calling The Union Flats home, businesses opening their doors and more experiences on the way, it’s exciting to see that vision come to life.”

Flower Child, the popular, feel-good restaurant known for its vibrant, health-focused menu recently opened, marking the first of several exciting additions to The Union’s growing tenant mix. Additional restaurants, retailers, and wellness concepts anticipated to open at the development include Cunningham Restaurant Group, Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams, Niku Sushi.Kitchen.Bar, Kitchen Social, Piedra, The Oakmont, Everbowl, Racha Thai, JETSET Pilates, Renova Aesthetics and SWTHZ.

Flower Child’s opening follows another significant milestone for the development, with the first residents moving into The Union Flats at Fishers District in early October. The 251-unit luxury multifamily community offers studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartment homes with upscale finishes and resort-style amenities. The development will also welcome Indiana’s first AC Hotel by Marriott, a 135-room property owned and operated by Dora Hospitality that will further expand the district’s accommodations for business and leisure travelers.

Adding to The Union’s emerging identity is a new public art initiative that will introduce eight unique murals throughout the development. Local artists were challenged to create original designs celebrating the City of Fishers, its history and the distinctive character of Fishers District. The murals will bring additional creativity and vibrancy to The Union, creating opportunities for residents and visitors to explore and engage with the community.

“The continued evolution of Fishers District reflects our commitment to creating places that bring people together and strengthen our community,” said Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness. “The Union is an important part of that vision, bringing new businesses, housing, and opportunities to a vibrant, walkable destination. These latest milestones are an exciting moment for Fishers, and we look forward to seeing Fishers District continue to grow and thrive.”

The Union also includes 70,000 square feet of Class A office space, with leasing activity underway and growing interest from prospective tenants.

“The response we’re seeing from prospective tenants reinforces the appeal of The Union’s integrated approach to development,” said Ryan Menard, vice president of development at Thompson Thrift. “Businesses increasingly recognize the value of environments that offer more than traditional office or retail space. With new restaurants opening, residents moving in and additional amenities on the horizon, The Union offers a compelling opportunity for businesses to become part of an established and growing destination.”

Located near Interstate 69 and 116th Street, The Union is one of five distinct developments within the 123-acre master-planned development that Thompson Thrift began developing in 2015. Momentum continues across the broader Fishers District development, where Thompson Thrift recently broke ground on The Crossing Lofts, a 273-unit luxury multifamily community expected to welcome its first residents in January 2028.

Over the past 40 years, Thompson Thrift has invested more than $7.9 billion into local communities and has become known as a trusted partner engaged in all aspects of development, construction, leasing, and management of high-quality real estate projects across the country.
