HRp <br /> Filed in <br /> CONSTRUCTION TM Clerk's Office <br /> February18, 2025 Bianca Tirado <br /> City Clerk, South Bend, IN <br /> Mr. Joseph Molnar <br /> Assistant Director of Growth & Opportunity <br /> Department of Community Investment <br /> 227 W. Jefferson Blvd., Suite 1400 S. <br /> South Bend, IN 46601 <br /> RE: HRP Construction Tax Abatement Request <br /> Dear Mr. Molnar: <br /> Thank you for your consideration of our requested tax abatement for a new building that Blueprint <br /> LLC / HRP Construction Inc are proposing to build in South Bend. As requested, we would like to <br /> clarify the couple of items that you were questioning. <br /> The first question pertained to the relationship between Blueprint, LLC and HRP Construction Inc. <br /> Blueprint, LLC and HRP Construction Inc. have common ownership. Blueprint, LLC is a property <br /> holding company that owns and leases the property to HRP Construction Inc. Blueprint, LLC does not <br /> own any other properties or provide any other services other than owning and leasing this specific <br /> property to HRP Construction Inc. The lease would be a triple net lease, where HRP Construction Inc. <br /> would be responsible for the property taxes and ultimately be the beneficiary of any tax abatement. <br /> The second question requested more detail on this expansion/consolidation project. HRP <br /> Construction Inc. has been based in South Bend since 1980 when it was started as H.R.D. Corp., <br /> which was soon changed to HRP Construction Inc. in 1981. As the company evolved and grew, we <br /> moved from our original home on West Washington Street, South Bend, to our current location at <br /> 5777 Cleveland Road, South Bend, in 1992/1993. Since then, we have outgrown the size of our <br /> property, our office size, and our shop/warehouse size. Currently HRP Construction's main operations <br /> are based out of our 2.7 acre property at 5777 Cleveland Road, South Bend, a 15 acre rented <br /> storage yard in Mishawaka, Indiana, one (1) or more rented shop/warehouse spaces for additional <br /> space to repair equipment and store materials depending on our needs, and three (3) rented storage <br /> units for document storage.As our business operations have grown, the rented spaces were added <br /> as a temporary solution to our ultimate need to consolidate to a single larger property and building(s) <br /> and to continue growing our business. Our proposed facility would be approximately 20 acres that we <br /> recently annexed into the City of South Bend. This larger single lot would allow us to combine all our <br /> operations onto one property with the additional space needed to continue to grow our business. Our <br /> new location would include a new approximately 9,000 SF office which would be over double our <br /> Safety and Quality Above Ad <br /> Shipping: 5777 Cleveland Rd.
