Located at the southwest corner of Main Street and Jefferson Boulevard across from the federal courthouse in downtown South Bend, Indiana, The Barnes and Thornburg Building lands in the heart of the city’s business core, which puts it within walking distance of Weigand South Bend Office. As the first new Class A office structure in over 20 years, 64,000 square foot facility has generated much excitement in the Michiana community. During the official groundbreaking for this five-story modern glass and steel structure, Lou Hansell, managing partner of Bald Mountain LLC, noted that, “It is gratifying to see Barnes & Thornburg’s long-term dedication to a project that will accelerate South Bend’s position as a professional destination.”
The law firm leases the second, third, and fourth floors of the building with River Park Leasing Corp, occupying the top floor and while a drive-thru coffee retailer and restaurant sit at the street level. Fourth and fifth floor terraces provide fresh air, city views, and green space to tenants. The basement level of the building can accommodate 21 cars and boasts a vehicle elevator, a unique feature that helps conserve precious square footage.
This city corner has experienced a major face lift with new life sprouting from a space that previously only boasted a quiet parking lot. Watching the continued growth of the business sector has been rewarding, and Weigand Construction was thrilled to be selected to lead this landmark project, a critical component in South Bend’s ongoing economic surge.
