Bradford Allen arranged a lease for TWG Motorsports, parent company of Andretti Global, at the former IndyStar Pulliam Production Center at 8278 Georgetown Road in Indianapolis. Bradford Allen is redeveloping the 245,783-square-foot space to serve as the headquarters of Andretti Global’s INDYCAR, INDY NXT and Formula E teams.
The renovated facility will have both office and industrial space and accommodate approximately 300 employees. Construction has begun and will be coordinated concurrently with the removal of several three-story printing presses from the building. The entire project is scheduled to be completed by this summer.
This is Bradford Allen’s second project for TWG Motorsports, the first being a nearly 400,000-square-foot motorsports facility currently under construction in Fishers, Ind.
Built in 1995, 8278 Georgetown Road served as a production facility for the IndyStar until 2024. Bradford Allen will modernize the building’s technology, introduce tailored workspaces and fabrication zones and incorporate top-tier employee facilities such as a fitness center, dining space and pit-stop performance area. Its scope of work will include:
- New office finishes and partitions
- Additional restrooms
- New window openings
- New passenger car elevator replacing the existing lift/freight area
- Expanded loading dock doors and truck entrances to accommodate Andretti’s fleet of transporters
- New skylights, repaved exterior areas and new high-performance floor coatings
- New mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire prevention systems to accommodate the new layouts and operational requirements of the facility
Other partners in the project include Louisville, Ky.-based general contractor ABEL Construction Company and Charlotte, N.C.-based Merriman Schmitt Architects. Both firms have experience with motorsports facilities.
