The Treeline District project will transform the north side of the river with public spaces, diverse uses, and a landmark destination, enhancing Fort Wayne’s tourism market. Bound by Harrison Street, the St. Marys River, Wells Street, and 2nd Street, it will feature a lively, thoughtfully designed mixed-use center, blending indoor and outdoor areas and creating ample space for active uses. The district will reconnect with adjacent residential areas by re-establishing the street grid and through height transitions and redesigned streetscapes.

In addition to street and utility infrastructure improvements, the first phase of development is anticipated to include approximately 250 apartment units, 7,500 square feet of retail, and a parking garage with public parking. This multi-purpose project will include an extension of Riverfront public space by adding a new public park area that blends seamlessly with the Tree Canopy Trail and existing Riverfront amenities.
