About The Cascade
The Cascade is South Bend's premier riverfront condominium development, consisting of two concrete-and-steel towers overlooking the St. Joseph River and the East Race Waterway on the city's East Bank. Developed by Wharf Partners, The Cascade introduced "Metro Style" urban highrise condo living to the region - built with reinforced concrete, glass, aluminum, and steel, with floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows, 8-inch thick solid concrete slabs between floors, and non-combustible steel stud walls.
Phase 1, known as Three Twenty at The Cascade, contains approximately 18 luxury condo residences in a 77,000-square-foot building. Three Twenty sold out, with pre-construction pricing ranging from the mid-$500,000s to about $1.5 million for a partial-floor penthouse. Phase 2, known as Three Twelve at The Cascade, is currently under construction with late 2027 occupancy. Three Twelve expands on Phase 1's concept with even more condos and enhanced amenities, including a luxury spa, co-work space, and rooftop bistro. Current Phase 2 listings range from $666,500 to over $2 million.
Each residence has at least one large private balcony overlooking the riverfront and downtown skyline. Residents enjoy secure, heated underground parking with EV charging options, elevator access directly from the garage, an on-premises fitness center, and a private HOA club room. Multiple on-premise dining venues are planned, including a signature restaurant and casual bistro.
The Cascade overlooks the Riverwalk portion of a $52 million city parks and trails investment, linked to the 17-mile IN-MI River Valley Trail. The East Bank Village location is the sweet spot between Notre Dame and downtown, walkable to restaurants, pubs, the Morris Performing Arts Center, Century Center, and the Farmers Market. Campus is a few minutes' drive or a bike ride via the planned Urban Trail.
