(Michigan City, IN) - The Michigan City Common Council has given preliminary approval for building over 200 homes on the city’s northeast side.

 

On first reading, the council supported a change in zoning request to build townhomes, apartments and single family houses on 40 acres at Tryon Road and Royal Road.

 

John Kavchak, a partner in the proposed development between Sloane Avenue Group and Redstone Group, told the council the construction would happen in three phases over a several year period.

 

The units would be available to purchase and rent.

 

The project has already gained the support of the Michigan City Plan Commission and should go before the city council for a final vote sometime in May.

 

If approved, site work could begin as soon as this summer with the first units available for sale possibly in 2026.
