IndyCar team takes ownership of new facility in Indianapolis

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Arrow McLaren has officially taken ownership of a larger facility in Indianapolis.

The NTT IndyCar Series team made the announcement on Thursday morning that it has taken control of a facility at 7615 Zionsville Road and that renovations have started to “expand and modernize the building.”

“We’re proud to begin the renovation and grow our footprint right here in Indianapolis,” McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown said in a press release. “The investment is a big step in our long-term growth, and this new facility will provide our team with state-of-the-art tools, equipment and space to keep pushing forward.”

The new facility will essentially nearly triple the team’s current shop’s square footage.

Arrow McLaren has been operating out of a 33,000-square-foot race shop on Coffman Road.

The team’s new facility will ultimately be 86,000 square feet once the transformation of the building is completed.

Dillon Construction Group will “manage” the transformation, which will increase the square footage of the building from 74,000 to 86,000 square feet.

The following will be some of the changes to the building:

• Expanded lobby showcasing the team’s success and heritage
• New second-floor mezzanine
• Fitness center
• New elevator to enhance accessibility
• Additional windows, architectural elements and a repaint on the exterior of the building

Here are some renderings of the new facility provided by Arrow McLaren:

Arrow McLaren said it will be prepared to move into the new facility in January ahead of the 2026 NTT IndyCar Series season.

Arrow McLaren currently has three full-time cars in the NTT IndyCar Series. Those three cars are driven by Pato O’Ward, Christian Lundgaard and Nolan Siegel.

Those three drivers also kicked off “demolition” of the facility as seen in photos provided by the team:

O’Ward and Lundgaard are each in the Top 5 of the IndyCar standings. In fact, O’Ward is second in the standings and won the series’ most recent race on the Streets of Toronto this past weekend.
