The center will also be the new home of the Fishers Health Department and Outside The Box’s adult day program to support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. RQAW | DCCM played an advisory role during the Design Development Phase of this project. The primary responsibility emerged during the Construction Document Phase, where the team documented the exterior facade of the building which encompassed various elements including roof plans, exterior elevations, storefront/curtainwall details, building sections, wall sections, exterior shell detailing, precast panel elevations, and ComCheck. Additionally, RQAW | DCCM attended the on-site meetings and prepared field reports. During the construction phase, we reviewed exterior envelope submittals. Construction is set to be completed in the fall of 2025. Rendering Credit: Williams Architects

North Ellipse Fishers, Indiana Modern build-to-suit office spaces for a booming community Challenge: Demand for commercial and residential spaces continued to grow. City officials needed building space that combined commercial office and residential living space to keep pace with local demand. Solution: The City of Fishers provided a 10-year tax abatement in conjunction with RQAW | DCCM to develop the 4-story North Ellipse commercial building. Located in the acclaimed Nickel Plate District of the City of Fishers, the 45,000-sf steel-framed structure includes build-to-suit office spaces, now occupied by tenants who provide everything from yoga to tech services. RQAW | DCCM has assisted each tenant in designing their customized spaces. The facility also includes public parking and soothing greenspaces for local pedestrians and building occupants. The shell space was tenant-ready in the spring of 2020 and is now completely occupied. This project was successfully delivered through a Build, Operate, Transfer (BOT) agreement, an arrangement between private development companies and municipalities offering significant benefits and flexibility to both parties.  Completed 2020 Size  45,000-sf
