WESTFIELD, IND. — The Nicholas Family of Cos. will develop, build and operate Westfield Ice Facility, a new multi-sheet indoor ice facility in the northern Indianapolis suburb of Westfield.

Westfield Ice Facility will feature three NHL-sized stadium-style rinks, with a potential fourth rink for future expansion. Tiered seating will host up to 3,500 spectators. The project will also include a full-service restaurant, retail spaces, an academic lounge and outdoor activity areas. Westfield Ice Facility marks the fourth indoor ice arena to be developed or acquired by Nicholas in the past two years and its first outside the Chicago area. The firm’s Nicholas & Associates division will serve as general contractor for the Westfield project. Its Spectate Group will manage and program the facility, and its Big Fish Hospitality Group will oversee food-and-beverage offerings. The property is expected to open in 2028.

By Aghfar Arun, Bradford Allen Indianapolis has a reputation as a convention town, but its hotel story has moved well beyond lanyards and name badges. A growing mix of sports, healthcare, corporate and leisure demand is now filling rooms year‑round — downtown and across the suburbs — turning the market into one of the Midwest’s most reliable hospitality overachievers.

This is over 580,000 more than the market’s pre-COVID peak. To meet this demand, the construction pipeline at mid-year included more than 1,500 hotel rooms, with another 3,402 rooms in the final planning stages and 3,220 rooms proposed.

The most notable project is Signia by Hilton, a 38-story hotel with 800 guest rooms developed alongside a 143,500-square-foot expansion of the Indiana Convention Center.
