The Enterprise Building, a Last Best Partners portfolio project, showcases how historic spaces can be transformed into thriving commercial hubs. A model for community revitalization done right.
At Last Best Partners, we believe in the power of real estate to not only generate returns—but to breathe new life into communities. The Enterprise Building, one of our cornerstone portfolio projects, is a prime example of that philosophy in action.
Located in the heart of downtown Elkhart, Indiana, this historic building has been thoughtfully restored to preserve its early 20th-century character while meeting the modern needs of today’s businesses and entrepreneurs.
Built in 1915, The Enterprise Building has long stood as a symbol of local industry and resilience. Once home to the Elkhart Truth newspaper, the building had fallen into disrepair before our team saw an opportunity to restore its legacy—and repurpose it as a hub for modern enterprise.
Through strategic investment and local collaboration, the building has been transformed into a vibrant, mixed-use commercial space that supports Elkhart’s growing business ecosystem.
Designed to accommodate a wide range of tenants—from solo entrepreneurs and remote workers to scaling startups and established companies—the building features:
All while maintaining the historic charm and architectural integrity that makes the space unique.
The Enterprise Building’s revival isn’t just about the building—it’s about contributing to the broader momentum of downtown Elkhart’s resurgence. With new hospitality, retail, and cultural developments emerging just blocks away, the project serves as a catalyst for continued investment and vibrancy in the urban core.
As with all of our work at Last Best Partners, The Enterprise Building represents more than just a project—it’s a proof of concept for how thoughtful capital, aligned with community needs, can transform underutilized assets into places of purpose and possibility.
If you’re working on—or dreaming up—a community revitalization project and believe we could help bring it to life, we’d love to talk.
