Western Hospitality: South Bend Campus

Western Hospitality Partners is moving forward with a 300-acre, 10-shell data center campus in South Bend. The project leverages existing industrial zoning to bypass the public rezoning hurdles that recently stalled the developer's larger efforts in New Carlisle.

While construction is anticipated to begin in late 2026 with an operational target of late 2027, the project faces growing scrutiny from local council members and neighboring farmers over its potential impact on the local aquifer and a perceived lack of transparency in the planning process.
