Cummins Debuts Plan for Downtown Indianapolis Office
Cummins Inc. presented Indianapolis officials with plans to locate its global distribution business headquarters in the city’s Market East cultural district.
The plans include a 10-story office tower with retail space on the ground floor as well as a public green space. Cummins said it expects to break ground early next year and have the building open by the end of 2016.
“This project raises the bar for architecture in Indy and will stand as a bold and visually compelling gateway into the city,” Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard said in a statement.
The green space will be constructed where the 16,000-seat Market Square Arena previously stood, according to the company.

“We are excited to be in downtown Indianapolis, bringing with us the architectural legacy that Cummins has established in Columbus, Indiana, and around the world,” Cummins Chairman and CEO Tom Linebarger said in a statement. “I am confident this space will create a dynamic place to work for our employees and customers while contributing to the city’s landscape.”
The engine manufacturer has said the project also will include a conference center and parking garage. Cummins’ global headquarters will remain in Columbus.
