16 Tech is an urban innovation district being developed in the historic Riverside neighborhood and within the Indiana Avenue Cultural District on the northwestern edge of downtown Indianapolis. Here, where Fall Creek meets the White River, innovators and entrepreneurs in the fields of life sciences, technology, advanced manufacturing, and engineering will come together to leverage their varied skill sets, draw inspiration from the region’s top-ranking research universities and global corporations, and channel their combined creative energy to plant the seeds for Central Indiana’s future economic growth.

It’s a place where forward-thinking entrepreneurs can partner with creative thinkers from major corporations and where an app developer can bounce ideas off of a biomedical researcher. At 16 Tech, it’s this unencumbered access to different perspectives and capabilities – united by a common drive for innovation – that will lay the groundwork for truly groundbreaking discoveries.

50 acres. No boundaries.

The 16 Tech Innovation District offers unparalleled opportunities for innovators to connect and collaborate, laying the foundation for groundbreaking discoveries. Whether you are a solo entrepreneur, a start-up company, or an established company pursuing new ideas and innovations, 16 Tech has a place for you.

Development at 16 Tech will focus on creating additional spaces for innovation, living, recreation, and retail. There are many exciting development opportunities within the 16 Tech Innovation District including new construction and building rehab, and mixed-use residential and retail.
