The Pearl

Built in collaboration with Surack Enterprises, The Pearl is a mixed-used development on 247 Pearl Street in downtown Fort Wayne, Indiana. This $72 million, 205,000 square-foot project brings a host of new amenities including:

76 Apartments
Live/Work Storefronts 300 Seat Event Center
Pedestrian-Oriented Concrete Streetscape on Pearl St. The ability to host small concerts, events, and more. 12,000 square feet of commercial retail tenant space with street access.

Residential Amenities

The Pearl combines walkable living spaces, offices, storefronts, fitness centers, food and drink, live music, education, the arts, entertainment, and culture under one roof right in the heart of the city. It opens opportunities for businesses and entrepreneurs, creating a new place for visitors and residents alike to experience, share, and enjoy the best that Fort Wayne has to offer. With access to several floors in the facility, occupants will enjoy special features such as:

A 3rd floor, climate-controlled, private parking garage with bike storage. A 4th floor green roof plaza, complete with a water feature, outdoor seating, fire pits, grills, and miniature golf. A 7th floor community green roof terrace will have 2 pergolas, lounge space, grilling areas, and fire pits, with a connected indoor amenity space for community gathering and recreation. An onsite fitness center. A dog wash station.

Built by Tradesmen and Tradeswomen

Given the many different functions served by The Pearl such as commercial, residential, entertainment, and dining to name a few, the construction process itself poses a unique challenge from a coordination and engineering standpoint. Thanks to the expertise and hard work of our career field and project management team, this project was successfully and safely delivered.

“I especially want to highlight the efforts and the workmanship of the tradesmen and tradeswomen, who worked a collective 460,000 man-hours to build what is right behind me.” – Larry Weigand

We’re humbled for the opportunity to partner with the team at Surack Enterprises to turn this idea into a reality. We look forward to seeing how The Pearl fosters community and business in downtown Fort Wayne!
