Welcome to New Neighbors
On June 3, 2008, the community celebrated groundbreaking of the Eddy Street Commons. In just two short years, the neighborhood has experienced an extraordinary transformation on Eddy Street from Angela Boulevard to Napoleon Boulevard and on Angela Boulevard from Notre Dame Avenue to State Road 23. Many commercial and residential buildings are now complete and throughout 2010 new businesses and residents have become a part of the neighborhood.
Currently, twelve retail businesses and one hotel are serving the public, and two additional retailers are slated to open in the coming months. Retailers now occupy over 57,000 square feet in the Commons. The Fairfield Inn and Suites, a limited service facility on Angela Boulevard, is five stories high and includes 67 rooms, 53 suites and 856 square feet of meeting space.
Local residents own and operate 67 percent of the leased space, providing access to a variety of products and services including fitness and food, beauty and banking, recreation and reading, and much more. AT&T opened a new prototype corporate store in March 2010 and Chipotle, the most desired tenant according to a Notre Dame student survey, opened in September 2009. It is estimated that over 300 new jobs have been created as a result of these businesses.
Champion Way City Homes on Angela Boulevard are now complete and additional flats and townhouses are under construction. These homes are convenient to bike paths, Eddy Street shops and restaurants, the University of Notre Dame and downtown South Bend.
Eddy Street retailers now open for business include: AT&T, Anytime Fitness, Camellia Cosmetics, Chipotle, Five Guys Burgers, Hot Box Pizza and Kildare’s Irish Pub. Also open are Nicholas J. Salon/Spa, The Mark Dine & Tap, Old National Bank, Outpost Sports and University of Notre Dame bookstore.
Watch for Jamba Juice and Kilwin’s Ice Cream, which are set to open soon.
