When Three Twenty at The Cascade (right-hand tower) became the first “Metro Style” condo project in the region, Phase 1 soon sold out. Residents enjoy a carefree, walkable, urban lifestyle with the city skyline and whitewater views as a front yard, and nearby parks, recreation, dining, and cultural venues as a backyard.
Now it’s time for an even bolder Phase 2: Three Twelve at The Cascade (left-hand tower). Ehancing Phase 1’s successful concept with even more condominiums and amenities, including a luxury Spa, a Co-Work space, and a rooftop Bistro. All this comes with premium finishes, appointments, services and other extras that make it Next Level Living.
The Cascade overlooks the Riverwalk portion of a new $52M+ city parks and trails investment, linked to the 17-mile IN-MI River Valley Trail. Cascade residents just step outside to paddle the river, or to walk, jog. and bike a hard surface trail extending from downtown Mishawaka, to the Farmers Market, on up to Notre Dame/St. Mary’s and continuing north of Niles, Michigan.
The river offers paddling and sport fishing for salmon, bass, and trout. A new Urban Trail coming in 2024 will connect The Cascade all the way to the campus via a new dedicated hiking/biking lane from Niles Ave. to South Bend Ave. extending up Notre Dame Ave.
Next to the site, brand new Seitz Park is at the head of the East Race Waterway, an internationally renowned artificial rapids running a mile through downtown South Bend. Summertime fun includes lifeguard-supervised raft and tube rentals, while kayakers frequent the challenging course.
Nearby in the river stands Mark di Suvero’s iconic 32-foot sculpture Keepers of the Fire, and Rob Shakespeare’s colorful River Lights. Adjacent Howard Park offers a community center, ice ribbon and splash pad, a riverside green for picnics and live performances, plus an amazing accessible playground.
East Bank Village is alive with an ever-growing assortment of unique local shops, artisans, restaurants, and pubs.
The Cascade is designed in the “Metro Style” of modern urban highrise condos, built of reinforced concrete, glass, aluminum, and steel. Floor plans offer wide spans, floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows, 8″ thick solid concrete slabs, and non-combustible steel stud walls. Such affords spectacular views, high acoustic separation and relatively few columns, being is far superior to suburban-style condos of stick-built wood. A residence at The Cascade is a solid investment built to last for generations.
The Cascade’s trendy neighborhood is walkable and energetic. A new upscale restaurant on the property complements other nearby fine dining options, including quaint pubs and casual eateries downtown and in East Bank Village. Across the river is Century Center, designed by world renowned architect Philip Johnson and well known for its popular Esports arena and the South Bend Arts Center.
Even on a busy football weekend, campus is only a few minutes drive via neighborhood streets. Or take a shady walk or bike ride to Notre Dame Ave. on the soon-to-be improved Urban Trail from the East Bank to campus.
Cascade residents find a quick trip to Trader Joe’s equally convenient to visiting legendary Bamber’s Food Market and the Farmer’s Market district, or Purple Porch Food Co-Op, literally just around the corner.
The Cascade’s walkable lifestyle offers an opportunity to slow down and appreciate South Bend and the riverfront’s unique local offerings. There are always interesting things to do and places to go, both in and around several nearby university campuses.
East Bank Village is the sweet spot between Notre Dame and downtown. One may bike from a rousing Irish soccer game to a South Bend Cubs game on the same afternoon, stopping off at a neighborhood coffee bar or brewpub in between. Other convenient walkable/bikeable sites include:
Beneath your residence at The Cascade is a private and secure underground parking garage accessed by a heated, ice-free ramp. This is a rare luxury for any local condominium, especially appreciated in the winter months. An elevator will whisk you directly from the garage to your floor. When it’s time to lock-and-go, you may be worry-free knowing your vehicle is safe and secure in an assigned parking stall that you own.
