In early September 2024, the revitalization of Fort Wayne’s downtown continued as Mayor Sharon Tucker announced plans for The Landing Exchange, a $20 million housing development proposed on The Landing along the northeast corner of Harrison and Columbia streets, which is currently a surface parking lot.

Forty new housing units would be created with 20 percent of the units being considered affordable housing. The Model Group is the developer for the project, continuing its successful redevelopment of The Landing, and MKM Architecture + Design is a partner on the project. With housing continuing to be in demand, this initiative will put Fort Wayne in a better position to meet the housing needs in the community.

Pending all necessary approvals, work on the project could begin in early 2025 with completion in summer 2026.
