(1) Staff report on disposition of property in
the Airport Economic Development Area.
(1010 Bendix Drive, St. Joseph Regional
Medical Center)
Ms. Laurent noted that 1010 Bendix Drive is
a vacant building currently owned by Saint
Joseph Regional Medical Center in the
Airport Economic Development Area. It is
across the street from the LaSalle Square
shopping Center, a location central to the
strategic planning for commercial and
residential development that the Commission
has promoted and is now underway among
residents and business owners committed to
the area. This building is the intended site of
an exciting collaboration of SJRMC,
Memorial Hospital and the City of South
Bend as both a kickoff redevelopment project

for LaSalle Square and a much needed
answer to the documented need for
convenient and affordable health care service
provision on the West Side.
Community Health Partners will be a 501
(c)(3) created to construct and operate
Bendix Family Physicians, a fully staffed
physician's office underwritten by private
donations and the respective hospitals on an
ongoing basis. Their request to the
Commission is participation in the physical
redevelopment of the building and site, to
update and ready the building as a vanilla
box to be equipped with state of the art
laboratory and diagnostic equipment, exam
rooms and a classroom for community health
education programming.
Margo DeMont, Community Health
Enhancement Executive Director with
Memorial Hospital spoke about her
excitement for the project. The State of
Indiana has identified the west side of South
Bend as medically underserved. In addition
to medical services, they intend to also offer
education on health management.
Sister Laureen Painter, Vice President of
Mission Integration with Saint Joseph
Regional Medical Center spoke about the
chronic disease management topics they
intend to address through the facility:
obesity, congestive heart failure, diabetes,
smoking cessation programs, etc. She noted
that this facility is the result of a community

needs assessment done by St. Joseph
Regional Medical Center in 2007. The
number one need identified was access to
affordable healthcare for residents on the
west side.
Pat Lynch, South Bend Heritage Foundation,
distributed updated sketches of the project as
well as a budget. The former medical
building needs updating as well as
modifications to facilitate the training to be
offered. The hospitals want to present the
building as a physicians office rather than a
clinic: a place to make an appointment and
take your family, rather than adrop-in kind
of place. They also want to make it the kind
of place a physician will want to make
his/her career at.
Ms. Laurent noted that staff has tried to
solidify both partners' commitments into the
Development Agreement. The Agreement
outlines the Commission's total participation
in the Project at not to exceed $500,000. This
amount is broken down into a preliminary
budget that was included in the
Commissioners' packets. We would
anticipate taking possession of the property
and publicly bidding improvements to the
building and site, and returning the building
to SJRMC in exchange for a commitment of
a minimum ten years of service provision on
site. South Bend Heritage Foundation would
oversee construction. Staff anticipates about
a six-month construction window.

Mayor Luecke expressed his excitement
about this project also. He thanked the
residents of the area who have been pushing
for improvements at the LaSalle Square
facilities. We think this compliments the
planning that is going to there. This is a
great example of partnership between two
great healthcare facilities in the community.
He asked for favorable consideration by the
Commission.
Dr. Varner noted that participation from the
patient is going to be the model for future
healthcare. He asked whether the amount of
classroom space would be sufficient. Ms.
DeMont responded that they believed it
would be. Both hospitals have a lot of
programming in place that can be brought to
this location. They expect each organization
to have to contribute a couple of hundred
dollars a year in education expenses. In the
long run, they expect the benefits to reduce
inpatient care. They think there is enough
programming space, though they are not
opposed to taking their programs off site to
other locations. Sister Laureen noted they
have also found that smaller group
discussions are of more benefit when
discussing personal health.
Ms. Jones noted that it was about two years
ago that the Commission and staff began
discussing with interested parties the
improvement to this area. The city has
included a certain amount in its budget this
year for just such improvements. She is

the Commission's budget.
(2) Commission approval requested for
Development Agreement with St. Joseph

Physicians.
Upon a motion by Dr. Varner, seconded by
Mr. Blake and unanimously carried, the
Commission approved the Development
Agreement with Bendix Family Physicians
for a healthcare facility at 1010 Bendix Drive
in the Airport Economic Development Area.
A. South Bend Central Development Area
(1) Commission approval requested for
Development Agreement with
R.E.L/White Lodging.
Ms. Laurent note that items 6.A(1) and
6.A(2) are the Development Agreement and
Contract for Sale of Land for the property on
the northwest corner of St. Joseph Street and
Jefferson Boulevard. The agreements are
with Jeffcourt, Inc. for the purchase and
development of 121 S St Joseph St.
Jeffcourt, Inc. is a new corporation formed
by the partners of REI Investments and
White Lodging, Inc., who submitted a Letter
of Intent in 2007 that was approved by the
Commission for development of a hotel and
parking garage on the site.

A. South Bend Central Development Area

The terms of the Development Agreement
and Contract before the Commission today
align precisely with the terms set forth in the
approved LOI. At the time REI and White
Lodging committed to constructing an urban
oriented, ten-story mixed use building with
parking garage and a select service franchise
hotel. Of 210 new structured parking spaces,
a minimum of 150 would be available to the
public during business hours, in an optimal
shared-use arrangement. A private
investment threshold was set at $25 million,
with a proposed public investment of $3.7
million to support the garage construction.
Jeffcourt, Inc. is pleased to announce that the
scope and concept of the project has grown.
Not one but two premiere hotel franchises
have signed on to head up the Project, in a
unique partnership arrangement we have not
seen previously in South Bend. Jeremy
Stephenson with REI Investments is present
to discuss the exciting developments that
have taken place behind the scenes in the
past few months, and the planning they've
been doing to maximize the prime site in
downtown.
Mr. Stephenson expressed his appreciation
for the working relationship that has existed
with the city staff on this project. He noted
the two entrances, one on St. Joseph and one
on Jefferson. The additional rooms added by
extending the L shape to a U shape on the
site. A Courtyard franchise and a Fairfield
franchise share the structure. R.E.I.

anticipates beginning construction in late
2008 or early 2009, hoping to compete in less
than the 24 months required in the
development agreement.
Dr. Varner asked about the possibility
mentioned in the development agreement that
R.E.I. might build the parking garage on its
own. Mr. Stephenson noted that the
development agreement says that R.E.I. will
build the garage, sell it to the city which will
lease it back to R.E.L, which will have the
option to purchase it after twenty years.
Depending on tax issues, R.E.I. would like to
buy it at that time.
Mayor Luecke expressed his appreciation for
everyone involved in this project. He thinks,
again, that it is a great example of
partnership, and shows a high level of
confidence in what is happening in
downtown South Bend.
Mr. Blake asked about banquet rooms. Mr.
Stephenson responded that the banquet
rooms would about 5,000 sft of flexible
meeting space, not necessarily large banquet
facilities, on the northeast corner of the
building.
Ms. Laurent addressed some questions
expressed around town about whether this
hotel will compete with the one built at Eddy
Street Commons. R.E.I. has been in town
this week looking a the Eddy Street
Commons project and expects that their hotel
9

will increase synergy between the downtown
and Eddy Street Commons.
Ms. Laurent noted that the Agreement and
Contract spell out the Commission's
obligations to work with the developer to
vacate a portion of the alley to the west,
known as DeRue Court, and a portion of the
area to the north owned by the
Redevelopment Authority and used by the
College Football Hall of Fame for a row of
surface parking. We have been in
communication with the HOF about this
need, and will continue to do so as we work
through replacement parking scenarios that
brings additional convenient parking to St
Joseph Street, along with an improved
streetscape plan intended to reduce the effect
of high-speed traffic on St Joseph.
Ms. Laurent noted that a twenty four month
construction schedule is contemplated, with
substantial completion of the garage in 18
months expected. The Commission's
financial obligation is described in Section 5
of the Development Agreement. Upon
completion of the garage, the Developer may
exercise the purchase option outlined in the
agreement, whereby the Commission
purchases the garage portion of the Project
for an amount not to exceed $3,696,000
(calculated at $17,600 per space, a value
under anticipated actual construction costs).
The garage will then be leased back to the
Developer for a nominal sum, in exchange
for the Developer providing ongoing

the South Bend Central Development
Area. (237 N. Michigan, LaSalle Hotel)
Ms. Laurent noted that the Commission has
previously offered the property at 237 N.
Michigan Street, the historic LaSalle Hotel,
for disposition and redevelopment without a
successful bidder or project to emerge. The
Commission purchased the building
committed to its preservation, and we have
issued bid specifications seeking qualified
developers to construct residential
apartments, condominiums or a new hotel
use to bring the building back to life.
Staff has worked with several experienced

and interested developers over time and in
the process we have learned a great deal
about the constraints presented by the
building itself and present market conditions
that make its redevelopment a particular
challenge.
The Commission has expressed its
commitment to address these challenges, and
we have discussed in particular the need for a
parking garage adjacent to the building to
serve both the Morris and Palais as well as
the hotel property. We realize we cannot do
so without an identified project and
committed development partner. Likewise,
the nature of historic preservation and the
many associated unknowns that drive costs
has not allowed the disposition structure we
have used in the past to work for the benefit
of the developer seeking to minimize risk.
I would like to introduce Garrison Hassenflu
of Garrison Properties, out of Kansas City,
Missouri. He is proposing today to purchase
an option on the building, affording him the
chance to perform more extensive due
diligence while allowing the Commission
and staff to learn more about the potential
roadblocks and opportunities presented by
the physical structure of the building for an
adaptive reuse project. His idea is to advance
a project due diligence phase quickly and
with regular reports to the Commission, thus
we would know within three to six months
whether a project can go forward, or if not,
then what else must be done on our end to

make a pro forma work for any developer.
Staff requests acceptance of his proposal, and
staff will continue to work with he and his
local partner, Mecca Companies, to refine
and bring forward a project that will
ultimately be successful. If the Commission
accepts this proposal, a formal option
agreement will be prepared and presented for
Commission approval at a subsequent
meeting.
Kyle Bach, Mecca Companies, explained that
Mecca Companies is a consultant to
developers wanting to do real estate projects
all over the country, with an emphasis on the
greater Michiana area. They have a
development arm, a brokerage arm, an
investment arm and are just getting involved
with some Web site endeavors. Their real
estate arm is responsible for $200,000,000 of
tax credit equity for qualified developments
across the U. S. They help with site selection,
financing preparation, entitlements and third
party coordination with architects, engineers,
community development staff, etc.
Gary Hassenflu noted that Garrison
Properties is a developer of multi-family and
mixed use developments in the Midwest and
Mountain states. They have done seventeen
projects in six states, over $100,000,000 in
asset value. They are interested in
developing the Hotel LaSalle. He showed a
PowerPoint of the various projects his
company has done. Mr. Hassenflu also
13

noted that his company is one of the top fifty
affordable housing developers in the nation.
They have been impressed with the
development they have seen in South Bend
and with South Bend's pro-development
attitude. When Mecca Companies told them
about this opportunity in South Bend, they
came and saw it, and feel like it is just like
what they do: they take old buildings, find a
way to reuse them that is financially feasible
and great for the community.
In the case of the Hotel LaSalle, they propose
to redevelop the basement and bottom two
floors to commercial uses and amenity space,
create office space on the mezzanine, and the
top floors would be eight to ten rental units
per floor.
Mr. Gibney asked what Mr. Hassenflu
expected the mix to be between affordable
units and market rate. Mr. Hassenflu
responded that he thought the project could
be done as all market rate apartments.
Dr. Varner noted that people who return to
the community like to see the landmarks still
in place. The LaSalle Hotel marks the north
end of the downtown. If at all possible, we
want to be able reuse the building rather than
tear it down. I think that's very important.
Upon a motion by Dr. Varner, seconded by
Mr. Blake and unanimously carried the
Commission accepted the proposal of
Garrison Properties and authorized staff to

Ms. Laurent noted that the Commission
purchased the Fat Daddy's building early this
year. Some money was put in escrow
pending until the building was vacated. Staff
has inspected and agrees the building is
cleaned out sufficiently. Staff recommends
approval of the Termination of Escrow

had the property appraised, it appraised at
$4,500,000. According to federal law, the
