About Lafayette Square Mall

Welcome to Lafayette Square Mall, a historic Indianapolis site at 3919 Lafayette Rd. Although the enclosed shopping mall operated from 1968 to August 29, 2022, it’s evolving into a vibrant mixed-use district known as The Square. This page provides practical details for visitors and events, including current redevelopment plans, transportation options, parking, and nearby accommodations and dining. As plans unfold, The Square aims to host hundreds of hotel rooms, apartments, a sports complex, a film studio, offices, and a premier cinema anchored by Alamo Drafthouse. We’ve got you covered with actionable, non-salesy information to help you secure seats, plan your day, and navigate the area with ease.

Location matters for events and screenings, and The Square sits on a substantial ~80-acre site with surface parking and access via IndyGo routes. While the original mall cinema (a General Cinema single-screen theater) once drew crowds for historic screenings, the redevelopment shifts toward a modern, multi-use entertainment district that could include a dedicated concert venue and the Heartland Film Festival-affiliated programming at the Alamo Drafthouse site. Whether you’re here for a screening, a concert, or exploring the growing district, we’ll help you plan your visit with practical details and trusted partner recommendations.

Seating and venues within The Square: The current focus is on redeveloping the space into a dynamic entertainment hub. Future seating options and capacity for venues will be announced as plans progress, with the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema slated to anchor the cinema component. For events, we’ll list exact seating details once official information is published.

Parking: The site historically offered surface parking around the mall. As redevelopment advances, expect a mix of surface and structured parking integrated with the new district. Look for on-site signage and affiliate maps for current parking guidance when events are announced.

Transportation: IndyGo serves the area with routes 37 and 38, making the location accessible by public transit. Check IndyGo schedules for route details and any festival or event shuttles that may be introduced during The Square’s events.

Nearby hotels and dining: The Square project includes plans for hundreds of hotel rooms distributed across two buildings, plus apartments and dining venues as the district grows. For now, consider nearby established Indianapolis hotels and well-rated local restaurants within a short drive or ride-share from 3919 Lafayette Rd. We recommend confirming current partner options closer to event dates as redevelopment progresses. For ongoing value and convenience, we’ll highlight affiliate hotel and restaurant partners with easy, no-fuss booking paths as they become available.
