Description

Located in the vibrant heart of downtown South Bend, 237 N Doctor M.L.K. Jr Blvd offers two ground-floor retail suites within a modern mixed-use development. Positioned directly next to the Morris Performing Arts Center, this property benefits from consistent pedestrian and vehicle traffic, with an average daily count of 13,578 along Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. The building’s upper floors feature contemporary multi-family residences, creating a built-in customer base and enhancing the site’s visibility and walkability. 

Suite 300, a former café space, is ideal for food and beverage operators seeking a turnkey location in a culturally active corridor. Suite 350 is a move-in ready office space with four private offices, suited for professional services, boutique firms, or wellness providers. Both suites enjoy street-level access, abundant nearby public parking, and proximity to a dense mix of residential, civic, and commercial developments.
