Fishers Scores JD Finish Line HQ And $65 Million Sports Fieldhouse

Fishers is lining up a serious sports and business double play. Mayor Scott Fadness announced today that a major sports retail company and a new $65 million sports complex will anchor the next phase of Fishers District. The package pairs a 350,000-square-foot corporate headquarters with an 180,000-square-foot fieldhouse that city leaders say will boost jobs and tournament traffic around the Fishers Event Center.

Retail giant to base North American HQ in Fishers

JD North America, the operator behind JD Finish Line, will plant its North American headquarters in the Link building at 11100 USA Parkway. The 350,000-square-foot office is slated to house more than 400 corporate staff and eventually add roughly 200 new jobs. Work on the corporate space is expected to begin in 2027.

Alongside the HQ, officials also rolled out plans for the 180,000-square-foot Fishers Fieldhouse, a $65 million tournament-ready complex with flexible court space designed to host large youth and professional events. The facility will include a 29,000-square-foot home base for Major League Volleyball’s Indy Ignite and is expected to open in late 2027 or early 2028, according to WISH-TV.

A bigger buildout for Fishers District

The announcement is part of roughly a $169 million expansion phase for Fishers District that will add living and sporting amenities and extend the retail and hotel components already underway. The Union at Fishers District, the master plan’s retail and residential phase, is one piece of the broader strategy to turn the area around I-69 and 116th Street into a year-round destination, as reported by The Reporter.

Council to weigh economic-deal paperwork next week

Mayor Scott Fadness is set to present proposed economic development agreements to the Fishers City Council at its June 15 meeting, per the City of Fishers. City leaders previewed the package at a noon press conference on June 10, an event local site LarryInFishers flagged in advance.

What it could mean for jobs and tourism

Developers and city officials say pairing a corporate headquarters with a tournament-capable fieldhouse could deliver two immediate benefits: white-collar jobs at the HQ and a steady stream of weekend visitors for hotels and restaurants during tournaments. The larger Fishers District buildout, already anchored by retail, a hotel and the Event Center, is intended to capture those overnight stays and add housing to support an expanded workforce, according to The Reporter.

Legal and incentive notes

The package includes proposed incentives detailed in the economic development agreements, with reporting noting that those incentives are tied to performance benchmarks and can be reclaimed if terms are not met. The June 15 council packet will make the precise incentive and performance language public for review, and initial details are available from the City of Fishers.
