Since I&#8217;ve been paying attention, I&#8217;ve registered four Downtown South Bend condo projects that failed to materialize:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In 2006 the \u00a0GameDay Centers announced they&#8217;d construct a 12-story building with 150 luxury hotel-condos across from the College Football Hall of Fame with prices from $180k to over $1 million. \u00a0The company had internal issues and a shovel never hit the earth.<\/li>\n<li>In 2007 the Holladay Corporation began conversion of a seven story office building into luxury condos. \u00a0They completed two model units and marketed 12 condos from $269,000 to above $449,000. Sales never materialized and the building was later listed for sale at $1.9 million.<\/li>\n<li>In 2008 a conversion of the top floors of the JMS building into condominiums was announced with 28 units on floors 6-8 and prices of $155,000 to $295,000. They were listed in the MLS and later expired without comment or construction.<\/li>\n<li>Also in 2008 the city sold the former Rink site to Place Builders to create <em>Colfax Landing<\/em>, 11 townhomes on the St. Joseph River. Construction has not begun.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There is now a new project that seems ready to surpass the progress the other attempts made.\u00a0Though specifics are still scant on important topics including pricing, covenants and management, two condos are nearly complete.<\/p>\n<p>American Trust Place, downtown at <a href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?f=q&amp;source=s_q&amp;hl=en&amp;geocode=&amp;q=41.676515,-86.250371&amp;sll=41.676516,-86.250371&amp;sspn=0.001296,0.002068&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;t=h&amp;z=16\" target=\"_blank\">Michigan and Washington<\/a>, is a mixed development with residential, retail, and office space.
