PURPOSE OF REQUEST: First Amendment to Development Agreement
Great Lakes Capital
Specifics: On March 28, 2024, the Redevelopment Commission approved a Development
Agreement with Great Lakes Capital for a large redevelopment project on the north end of
downtown South Bend immediately south of Memorial Hospital. Due to a scrivener’s error, it
was discovered one small parcel (018-1003-0101) was inadvertently excluded from references
to the Project Property in certain portions of the Development Agreement. The attached First
Amendment modifies the Development Agreement to add the excluded parcel. No other
substantive changes are being proposed to the Development Agreement.
Staff recommends approval of the First Amendment.
