Big Impact.
Herstoric Development, a women-owned and operated enterprise, is dedicated to revitalizing downtown South Bend through community-focused development and the restoration of historic buildings. Our commitment to preserving the rich history of our city extends to both its longstanding residents and its architectural heritage, each telling a unique story of our past.

Preserving the existing community.
We take pride in our approach to development, offering fair prices to local residents to prevent displacement amidst improvements and rising housing costs. Our mission is to create a sustainable and inclusive environment, ensuring that downtown neighborhoods remain accessible to everyone. This is achieved by repurposing vacant buildings, rather than building new ones, and breathing life into them for the benefit of the community.
Collaboration with existing residents is at the heart of our work, as we strive to maintain the vibrant cultural fabric of neighborhoods while introducing enhancements that elevate the overall quality of life. At Herstoric Development, we empower South Bend residents with the means and enthusiasm to proudly call this city home.
