This week, the Indianapolis City-County Council unanimously voted to approve a $155 million expansion of the Indiana Convention Center, adding 143,500 square feet in total, anchored by a 50,000 square foot ballroom, the largest in the state of Indiana, and 93,500 square feet of additional meeting/pre-function space.

Construction is slated to begin in 2022 and will be done by a local developer, Kite Realty Group Trust, who also built the Conrad Indianapolis. The project is anticipated to be completed by 2025. Simultaneously to construction of the expanding Indiana Convention Center, Hilton’s new brand “for meeting planners by meeting planners,” Signia, will also open in 2025, attached to the expanding center.

Hilton is only putting its new Signia brand in only three cities (Indy, Orlando, Atlanta), with the hotel standing 42 stories tall, offering 800 rooms, and 40,000 square feet of meeting space inside the hotel itself.

This expansion will increase the total exhibit hall, ballroom, meeting room, and pre-function space at the Indiana Convention Center and Lucas Oil Stadium complex to more than 1.1 million square feet, while boosting the total number of hotel rooms directly connected to the center via climate-controlled skywalks to more than 5,500.
