What's coming to Westfield?: Sun King, Graeter's Ice Cream, Wawa and Bub's Burgers planned
Construction is booming in Westfield.
Westfield city councilors have already approved two transformative downtown projects, with apartments, townhomes, commercial spaces, public plazas and a parking garage, this year. The city has given the go-ahead on smaller developments that will bring new businesses to the city as well:
The burger joint already has locations in Bloomington, Zionsville and Carmel. Plans approved by Westfield called for a 3,910 square foot sit-down restaurant.
The new restaurant will be built at the intersection of Park Street and Mill Street, across from Grand Junction Plaza, and construction has not yet started.
Graeter's Ice Cream has locations in Carmel, Fishers, Indianapolis and across the county. A new location is under construction at the intersection of East Tournament Trail and Dartown Road in Westfield. The 3,200 commercial building to host the ice cream store was approved by the city in October 2024.
The $6.4 million investment includes a 9,500-square-foot restaurant with more than 200 seats and a year-round patio. The restaurant is under construction at the southwest corner of Jersey and Mill Streets in the heart of downtown Westfield.
The bakery-cafe, fast casual restaurant is bringing a new location to the intersection of Austrian Pine Parkway and State Road 32 in Westfield. The 3,200 square restaurant is under construction after it was approved in March.

The brewery already has locations in downtown Indianapolis and Carmel and is building a new location in Westfield. The 8,700 square foot brewery is under construction at the intersection of State Road 32 and Union Street, as part of a larger commercial and residential development in the city's downtown.
The convenience store and gas station is bringing a second location to Westfield. This one is under construction at the intersection of Spring Mill Road and State Road 32.
The 3,000 square foot fast-food restaurant, known for its chicken fingers, was approved by Westfield officials in May. The Westfield location will be built at the intersection of 191st Street and Westmore Lane. Construction on the project has not yet started.
Called Jersey 32, the project on the northeast corner of Jersey and Poplar Streets would be anchored by a five-story parking garage. It would also have 235 apartment units, 15,500 square feet of office space, 43,500 square feet of retail space and a standalone, high-end restaurant.
City councilors are expected to consider approval of the Jersey 32 project in August.
In May, councilors approved a development on the southeast corner of Park and Poplar streets, adjacent to Midland Trace Trail and across from the new Westfield Washington Public Library. Called Park & Poplar, it includes 240 apartment units, 56 townhomes, a public plaza and parking garage with 523 spaces, 29,000 square feet of retail, which the developer believes will be occupied by a restaurant and 40,000 square feet of office space.
In January, the city council approved a transformative development project for the other side of downtown.
The $27 million project, called Ambrose on Main will be built on the northeast corner of North East Street and State Road 32. It will include 87 one and two-bedroom apartments, with 12,000 square of feet of commercial space, including a restaurant with outdoor seating. The project also includes a plaza and courtyard areas spanning 6,000 square feet, a 2,000 square foot rooftop patio and amenities such as a work-from-home lounge, an indoor and outdoor cafe, a state-of-the-art fitness center, indoor bike storage and a pet spa.
