Community space.

One of the most important methods of transforming our urban neighborhoods is to provide quality housing and encourage urban development. Over the past 35 years SBH has partnered in several housing and commercial developments. South Bend Heritage is dedicated to improving South Bend’s neighborhoods through the construction and adaptation of urban commercial and residential structures. Through experienced and skilled staff, SBH works with other project architects, general contractors and sub contractors to insure that all projects undertaken by SBH are completed to the highest degree of quality.

To date, SBH has developed and supervised the construction and renovation of 5 major multi-family housing developments, 160 + home rehabilitations, 25+ house moves and 25+ commercial construction and renovation projects. With each completed project SBH builds on its reputation as a premier adaptive reuse specialist through the creation of unique commercial space and quality affordable housing in urban neighborhoods.

upcoming community projects

gemini apartments

Located in the heart of the West Washington Historic District, the Gemini Apartments are full of character and charm. Built in the Chicago Court style, the Gemini is home to 60 total units, with 15 currently being rehabilitated. These trendy apartments are now available for pre-lease and will make a lovely home for tenants looking for modern living with a touch of charm.

Permanent supportive housing

South Bend Heritage has been chosen as one of six teams that will participate in the 2019 Indiana Supportive Housing Institute program. Teams will work with the Indiana Housing & Community Development Authority and the Corporation for Supportive Housing to establish a plan to create housing developments that will serve individuals struggling with chronic homelessness.

In partnership with the NNRO and NENC, SBH is committed to helping restore the historic Firehouse #7 on Notre Dame Ave. Improvements to the building will make for a striking and welcoming entrance to the neighborhood, as well as provide much needed structural stabilization to the historic building.
