The South Bend condo market has experienced a remarkable transformation driven by Notre Dame's continued growth, downtown revitalization, and a wave of new construction along the Eddy Street corridor. What was once a limited market of converted historic buildings and a few phases at Eddy Street Commons has expanded into a diverse ecosystem of luxury developments, renovated communities, and pre-construction opportunities.
Near campus, the Eddy Street corridor has become the epicenter of condo development.

Phase 1 (Three Twenty) sold out, and Phase 2 (Three Twelve) is currently in pre-sale with enhanced amenities including a rooftop bistro, spa, and co-work space.
