North Mishawaka, Indiana
Three useful places. A more connected community.
Productive businesses, everyday essentials and physical healthcare, linked by better streets and thoughtful energy infrastructure.
Explore the three projectsA commercial development proposal
01 / The places
Each project meets a different daily need. Together, they support nearby residents, local industry and a more connected North Mishawaka.
01View concept Adaptive reuse · Productive businesses
3909 N Main Street
A new working life for the former USA Skate Center. Repair businesses, clean assembly and local suppliers share an adaptable home that keeps value in the neighborhood.
EV and hydrogen fueling on the south side, beside the existing pond.

02View concept Everyday commerce · Milieu Market
Southeast Main / Edison
A useful stop in everyday life. Milieu Market anchors space for household services, local shops and product showrooms, with easier access for nearby residents and workers.
Milieu Market is the grocery within Exchange Milieu, one of three properties.

03View concept Physical outpatient care
Edison Lakes / Park Place
A provider-led home for physical outpatient care. Occupational health, therapy, dental or vision services can bring practical care closer to local households and employers.
A welcoming destination for everyday care, with walkable access, rooftop solar and restorative green space.
Read the project planSite budgets include rooftop solar and a separate $1.50m Milieu Power facility at each property. Areas, costs and layouts are planning assumptions. Images are architectural concepts.
02 / The connections
A connected walking and cycling network from McKinley to Cleveland, and from State Road 23 to Fir. Safer crossings and usable entrances connect homes, work, schools and care.
The destinations
The former Main Street firehouse is marked separately as the Normain Milieu concept location.
Healthcare access
Six healthcare access clusters have allowances for public-side connections to existing facilities.
The map includes municipal GIS healthcare points. No new medical buildings or provider commitments are assumed.
The Milieu network
The map brings together MainMilieu’s three projects and related Milieu concepts. The related concepts retain separate capital plans and operating accounts.
Explore the wider Milieu network03 / The shared systems
Keep useful buildings, protect the ponds and put every usable roof to work. Milieu Power adds electric charging and planned hydrogen services to all three properties.
Full coverage is part of the design brief, with the clearances needed for drainage, equipment, maintenance and fire access.
EV and pink-marked H₂ bays connect to internal circulation, with safe public paths and separate service access.
Retain stormwater functions, then purify a small treated-water stream for electrolysis. Oxygen for healthcare remains a later option requiring qualified production and clinical approval.
04 / The opportunity
The expanded network has a measured scope, a phased financing plan and a separate maintenance obligation. Each commercial site retains its own business case.
Three developments, three on-site energy facilities
and the expanded public access network.
| Milieu Works | $6.25m |
|---|---|
| Exchange Milieu | $7.85m |
| Health Milieu | $8.80m |
| Expanded public access | $63.99m |
Property budgets include $1.90m in rooftop solar and $4.50m in on-site Milieu Power facilities. The optional hotel, clinical-oxygen expansion and separate Normain / Division concept building programs remain outside this total.
For investors & operators
The property and energy operating cases remain separate. Required equity now reflects capacity-tested TIF funding. Paths do not create assumed rent premiums, clinic commitments or fuel sales. Any owner share of network maintenance must be tested against debt coverage and cash returns.
Review the revised capital plan ↗For governments & institutions
Verify eligible costs, road ownership, project readiness, local match and lawful cost sharing. Secure independently useful phases and a recurring maintenance agreement before construction.
Download the editable cost model ↓The revised financing plan assigns the full expanded budget to proposed sources. The network allocation is 50% federal transportation targets, 35% partner public capital and 15% institutional / beneficiary contributions. The business plan and editable model show eligible-cost screening, non-federal match and the required capital for each category.
| Capital category | 2026 dollars | 2027–2031 dollars |
|---|---|---|
| Private / institutional capital | $29.886m | $33.926m |
| Public capital | $57.006m | $63.537m |
| Total program capital and financing | $86.892m | $97.463m |
The property TIF target is limited to approximately $1.163m of modeled capacity, subject to district verification and approval. Required property / landowner equity rises to $9.287m. The earlier $5.60m TIF ceiling is not used to fund this plan.
At full operation, proposed annual maintenance and reserve contributions are $975,539 from public road-owner budgets and $172,154 from institutional / beneficiary agreements, in 2026 dollars. Any charge to the three property companies must be agreed and tested against their cash flow.
These amounts are financing targets, subject to awards and capital agreements. Before construction, each phase must have documented sources, eligible matching funds, property rights and recurring maintenance arrangements. No financing commitment, grant award or institutional contribution is represented as secured.
The federal allocation is a planning target across approved phases and funding cycles. Eligibility, regional capacity and program availability require confirmation through MACOG’s project selection process and the relevant agencies. Existing 2026 BUILD selections and the closed 2026 SS4A round are not counted as new available awards.
The next step starts with the plan
Three development plans, a GIS route map and an editable infrastructure model covering construction, proposed financing, phasing and annual maintenance.
