The COVID-19 pandemic hit the economy hard, but one growing industry in the South Bend area â warehousing and logistics â shows little sign of slowing down, as consumer habits and changing supply-chain needs fuel millions of square feet in new development.
When Amazon opened a South Bend delivery center in a shared 210,000-square-foot space in 2019, the e-commerce giantâs presence underscored a warehouse-building boom at the cityâs industrialized northwest edge, near Interstate 80/90 and U.S. 31.
Since then, builders have raised at least three more distribution centers, totaling more than 600,000 square feet, and more are on the way.
South Bend-based Holladay Properties filed a rezoning request this month to build a complex that, according to the company, could include multiple buildings and up to 800,000 square feet on Old Cleveland Road, just outside the city limits and west of the 80/90 interchange.

A cooperatively owned grocery store is planning to open a brick-and-mortar location next year in downtown Lombard.
Prairie Food Co-op has signed a 10-year lease for a 10,000-square-foot building at 109 S. Main St. Indiana-based Holladay Properties will begin construction of the building this spring, and the store is expected to open in July 2022.
As a cooperative business, we are literally owned by the community, said Kathy Nash, Prairie Food Co-op board president and co-founder. Our mission is to open a grocery store that supports local farmers and producers.
Other than Sugar Beet Food Co-op in Oak Park and Chicago s Dill Pickle Food Co-op, Nash said food co-ops are rare for the area. Yet even without a building, Prairie Food Co-op already has nearly 1,200 owners throughout DuPage County.
