YAB Mixed-Use Development
Michigan City, IN
Concept design for a three acre, mixed-use development in Downtown Michigan City. Community development staff has identified a number of vacant and underutilized properties in Downtown Michigan City as potential redevelopment opportunities which could spur future growth and prosperity in the City.
Design on this three acre, infill site is proposed as a traditional six to seven story, wrap-style building. Proposed uses include live/work units, multi-family residential, a flagship hotel, and opportunities to include small commercial / entertainment uses wrapped around a core of structured parking. Views from the east and west are terminated on corner plazas with retail opportunities to capture visitors to the area. A central courtyard along Michigan Boulevard is formed with the historic Michigan City Courthouse building completing the enclosed space.
Inspiration for the project is rooted in the area’s connection to the local arts scene. The proposed site plan features the existing “You are Beautiful” sign and incorporates opportunities to activate the local streetscape with not only new and exciting uses but also public art provided by local artists and programs.
