“We are so proud of the progress that has been made on our future home, and we are honored to be a part of today’s topping out ceremonies,” Michael Andretti, Chairman & CEO of Andretti Global, said at the event. “It is no small feat to get to this point with a project of this magnitude, and we could not have done it without our partners at Bradford Allen, Clark Construction, RATIO, and Ridge. It’s been such a rewarding experience watching our new facility being built from the ground up, and today is a true testament to the hard work and effort that’s been put into turning our vision into a reality.”
Crews set the last piece of steel atop the new racing and technology headquarters, marking a big step forward in the development of Andretti Global’s future base of operations. In a ceremony held on site, Andretti Global, Bradford Allen, and Clark representatives recognized the contributors involved in the project’s efforts thus far. To reach this milestone, crews worked 40,000 hours to place over 3,000 tons of steel, 2,755 steel members, 4,000 cubic yards of footings and grade beam concrete, and over 9,000 cubic yards of slab on grade and slab on metal deck concrete.
“This milestone would not be possible without the strong partnership between Andretti Global, Bradford Allen, Clark, and the talented design and trade partners on this project,” said Dave Trolian, Northern Group CEO with Clark Construction. “The contributions to drive this project forward on schedule, while keeping safety and quality top-of-mind, is evident in the craftsmanship and progress of a facility that will be an impetus in the global racing community.”
In addition to housing day-to-day operations for the racing team, the building will be home to the advanced research and development of Andretti Technologies. The collaborative campus will also feature modern technologies and amenities that not only create an employee-first culture, but also prioritize partners and the surrounding community.

“The topping-off of the new Andretti Global headquarters brings us one step closer to delivering this highly anticipated project to the Fishers community and motorsports fans everywhere,” said Jeffrey Bernstein, Co-Founder of Bradford Allen. “At a time when others are waiting on the sidelines, this team has gotten a world-class facility off the ground — one that prioritizes health, wellness, and sustainability for the benefit of both employees and visitors.”
The structure focuses on design and race shop programming, expanding on existing goals for technologically advanced, sustainable practices. The final facility is set to include a fitness center, walking trails with access to the Nickel Plate Trail and Ritchey Woods Nature Preserve, amphitheaters, employee gathering areas, and expanded dining options. The development continues through a strategic phased approach.
The design was planned by UK-based motorsport design consultants Ridge and Partners, and Indianapolis-based international design firm RATIO. Clark Construction is the general contractor.
