Downtown South Bend’s Studebaker Lofts to open Tuesday

Our board and leadership affirmed our commitment to a partnership and project that will be positive for the future vitality of downtown South Bend. We transferred ownership of 13 parcels of land south of the Memorial Hospital campus to enable the city and Great Lakes Capital to build a mixed-use development that complements our Memorial Hospital campus reinvestment.

The recent downtown South Bend land deals between Beacon Health, Great Lakes Capital and the city have given the city a unique building that sits on a prime piece of real estate.

”Maple Block Flats will supply much-needed housing for Petoskey and the Northern Michigan region as a whole,” said Jeff Smoke, managing director and principal for developer Great Lakes Capital. “This is the definition of a true public/private partnership with a multitude of workforce housing incentives being utilized for a project that would otherwise not be developable.
