(Michigan City, IN) - The $80 million mixed-use project planned for downtown Michigan City is coming into focus.
Representatives of developer Flaherty & Collins laid out plans to the Michigan City Common Council.
Dubbed “The Franklin at 11th Street Station,” the project features a 12-story residential building with 220 units, next to about 6,000 square feet for commercial space and a restaurant. A connected 540-space parking garage will have a rooftop garden.
The new Double Track runs in front of the red brick and limestone structure. The old 11th Street Station façade has been preserved and incorporated into the plan. The building's main lobby will feature design elements reminiscent of an old train station.
Developers say the parking garage will go up first, and units could be available about 18 months from this fall.
