SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Friday was the groundbreaking for phase two of "The Cascade," a new condominium in Downtown South Bend.
Phase one was completed in 2020, and phase two is expected to last for 20 months.
The project emphasizes the elements of earth, wind, fire, and water, offering views of the downtown skyline, river, and local activities.
The project is expected to be completed by mid-2027.
Phase two will be taller and feature more units.
Thomas Panzica, President of Panzica Building Corporation, stated "Yeah, I would say what's really happening here is the whole east bank of the river is coming alive. We're getting new restaurants and little shops all the time. It's becoming a neighborhood, and The Cascade is integral to that neighborhood, and we invite more people to come live downtown and support all of that. These are local businesses. They're not chain restaurants and chain stores, and it all adds to the urban fabric and the style of living downtown that we appreciate. So East Bank is on a roll, and we want to roll with it."
