Skender, one of the nation’s top construction firms, is deepening its roots in central Indiana as part of the development team behind a $105 million mixed-use project that will transform downtown Westfield.
Previously known as Jersey 32, the development was recently renamed The Grand on Main to better reflect its central role in Westfield’s downtown identity. The Westfield City Council voted 6-0 on July 14 to approve the landmark development, which will anchor the southeast corner of State Road 32 and Poplar Street with new housing, retail, and commercial space.
The Grand will feature 216 residential units, 51,000 square feet of ground-floor retail, and more than 15,000 square feet of commercial office space – all designed to create a vibrant, walkable district. Skender’s growing Indianapolis team will also move into office space within the development, reinforcing the firm’s long-term commitment to the region.
“This project is about fueling smart growth and supporting communities where we live and build,” Skender Senior Vice President Brian Simons said. “We’re proud to be part of the team shaping a development that brings housing, jobs and energy to the heart of Westfield.”
“The Grand on Main represents a bold step forward for downtown Westfield,” Westfield Mayor Scott Willis said. “This project brings investment, housing, and dynamic spaces that will draw people to live, work, and spend time downtown. We are proud to see partners like Skender investing in projects that reflect the momentum of our city.”
The Grand on Main is being developed and built by BW Development and Skender, and designed by Studio M, with construction beginning later this year. With an anticipated completion in 2027, the project is expected to bring hundreds of new residents and daily visitors to Westfield’s downtown core, activating public spaces, and boosting economic vitality.
Skender has steadily expanded its Midwest footprint in recent years, with a focus on projects that blend innovation, sustainability, and community impact. The Grand aligns with the firm’s people-centric values and its expertise in delivering complex, community-oriented construction.
