The largest private development of its kind in Indiana, Bottleworks serves as a culinary, arts, and entertainment hub, featuring the city’s first food hall, a boutique hotel, as well as 180,000 SF of flexible office space and 175,000 SF of prime retail space. The Bottleworks District will build a legacy, showcase local talent, and create a true third place for generations to come. The Coca-Cola bottling plant was founded in 1920 on Mass Ave. By 1950, it had expanded and was the largest bottling plant in the world, with 260 employees and 110 delivery trucks. In 1964, Indianapolis Motor Speedway owner, Tony Hulman, bought the Coca-Cola franchise. After a few years, he moved bottling operations to Speedway and used the Mass Ave building to store his collection of vintage automobiles. In 1968, the building was sold to Indianapolis Public Schools to be used as the central prep kitchen, bus service center, and woodworking studio.In 2016, Hendricks Commercial Properties was selected to redevelop the Coca-Cola Bottling Plant and took ownership of the property in 2017.Phase I opened in 2020, including The Garage Food Hall and Bottleworks Hotel.

Construction is underway and will be completed by 2025.Sitting in the North Mass Ave corridor, one of Indianapolis' four original diagonals, the Bottleworks District is a fusion of past and present in the heart of historic neighborhoods, robust arts, industrial architecture & good spots galore.
