(Michigan City, IN) - Construction could start in the coming months on the much anticipated 14 story hotel and 12 story condominium tower announced for Michigan City more than a year ago.

 

During her recent state of the city speech, Mayor Angie Nelson Deuitch said fencing was going up around the site along U.S. 12 across from City Hall.

 

“Hopefully, we’ll have a true groundbreaking sometime soon,” she said.

 

A formal groundbreaking was held in the fall of 2023 but not much has happened at the site.

 

Now, Inside Indiana Business is reporting the leasing out of units has begun for the over $300 million planned development with the start of construction possibly this summer.

 

Inside Indiana Business also quoted Scott Goodman, founding principal Farpoint Development, as saying he’s excited to play a role in the changes coming to Michigan City.

 

What’s called the SoLa project is projected to cover 628,000 square feet of space that includes 130 condominiums and 230 hotel rooms along with other amenities like a parking garage with space for up to 400 vehicles.
