CITY OF SOUTH BEND REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING – December 11, 2025 <br /> <br />Page | 13 <br /> <br />Upon a motion by Eli Wax for approval, seconded by Ophelia Gooden- <br />Rodgers, the motion carried unanimously; the Commission approved <br />Resolution No. 3657 as presented on December 11, 2025. <br /> <br />6. Progress Reports <br />A. Tax Abatement <br />None <br /> <br />B. Common Council <br />None <br /> <br />C. Other <br />Erik Glavich gave an update on Devereux Peter’s The Monreaux Project, <br />which officially closed on its construction loan on Monday. Congratulations <br />to her, and kudos to Dani, Joe, Erin, the City staff, and the entire support <br />team — including Ann Mannix. It’s exciting to be at this stage and to look <br />forward to groundbreaking. Thank you to everyone, including the Council, <br />for your support. <br /> <br />Joseph Molnar also shared photos of Ivy Alley Social House, the project <br />approved last year just west of downtown. The family-friendly brewery with <br />duckpin bowling is nearing its opening. Erin and Allison toured the site <br />yesterday, and the transformation—especially the restored street-facing <br />windows—is remarkable compared to 18 months ago. The building’s curb <br />appeal is outstanding. <br /> <br />Caleb Bauer offered a few final updates, thanking staff for their extensive <br />work on several agreements and recognizing Dani for her efforts. He <br />reported that an agreement has been reached for the church on Harrison <br />Ave, which will proceed through the Board of Public Works for purchase, <br />with demolition bids expected to be advertised soon for early-2026 work. <br />The Redevelopment Commission will then explore redevelopment <br />opportunities for the site. <br /> <br />He also noted that the Common Council approved the purchase agreement <br />for the former Indiana Club on Indiana Avenue. The project will proceed to <br />the Board of Public Works, and the City will work with Kil Architecture on <br />due-diligence and design concepts, with plans to return to the Commission <br />for partnership on activating the site as a community center in collaboration <br />with the Boys & Girls Club. <br /> <br />Lastly, he reminded commissioners of next week’s meeting, the final one of <br />the year—which will include several important agreements. <br /> <br />7.
