Hampton Inn Breaks Ground in Indiana

SOUTH BEND, IN—The economy has boosted the hospitality industry, and developers have begun putting up hotels at a brisk pace, even in secondary markets. Hampton Hotels, for example, the global brand with nearly 1,900 mid-priced Hampton Inn, Hampton Inn & Suites, and Hampton by Hilton hotels, just broke ground on the 99-room Hampton Inn and Suites Mishawaka in the South Bend metropolitan area. The four-story hotel will be at 7347 Heritage Square Dr. in Granger and part of the Heritage Square Development, an open-air retail center.

The property is a joint venture between South Bend-based Holladay Properties, which also developed Heritage Square, the owners of the Hilton Garden Inn South Bend /Gillespie Conference Center and Gateway Hospitality Group, which will oversee construction, FFE, pre-opening operations and management.
