South Bend, IN- Ancon Construction, premier design build construction firm, held a ribbon cutting ceremony to officially open their new downtown South Bend office. Located inside the newly renovated mixed use building The LaSalle the office has premiere corner street level visibility set inside the historic LaSalle building. Although the office is inside a historic building the design is ultra modern and minimalistic. Matt VanSoest, Designer, researched office spaces like Tesla and Google and used that for design inspiration. Local artists have donated some sculptures and historic photos of downtown South Bend have placed them throughout the office.
Why downtown South Bend? For over 40 years Ancon Construction has served South Bend, Mishawaka and the entire St. Joseph County region. Nearly everyday there is an Ancon Construction employee in the region working on projects. “We have a known presence and excellent reputation in this region….now we have the physical location to match. The revitalization of the downtown corridor is exciting. Many of the projects that started the downtown revitalization Ancon Construction were a part of, so South Bend seemed like the natural choice when we looked at potential locations.” noted Ryan Kring, Vice President of Business Development.
Kring went on to say, “This space is a communal area which our employees can use to give our clients a comfortable place to meet and have a great experience. Having this space allows our customers a closer place to meet and plan out our projects together. We use a team approach to project design and delivery in which our clients are involved heavily throughout the entire process. The office is designed to be a living showroom of various types of materials so our clients can see them in actual space. Periodically we will change out the furniture and flooring to highlight the latest available designs and materials.”
Ancon Construction is not the only tenant in the building, recently The Hideaway opened. The Hideaway is a 1920’s speakeasy steampunk whiskey bar that was designed and built by Ancon Construction. South Blend, a new coffee house, is also under construction and will be opening its doors in the next few months.
We have been building this region for over 40 years and we look forward to the next 40.

Honey Baked Ham has chosen Ancon Construction, premier design build construction firm, to build out their new location in Granger, IN. They will take over a tenant space within Toscana Park. This large upscale shopping complex is located near Gumwood and Cleveland Road just north of Heritage Square.
Honey Baked Ham is relocating from their long standing location off of Ironwood and Edison in South Bend to better serve their clients and take advantage of the new development happening near Toscana Park. The new space will occupy 2,800 square feet and will feature a sit down deli cafe as well as the traditional carryout & delivery services. Ancon Construction worked closely with commercial real estate broker Bradley Company to create and design the interior layout for their new home. Eric Jensen, architect for Ancon Construction, stated, “Having the client, commercial broker, landlord, design and construction team working together as one design|build team allowed us take our client’s vision and make it a reality while staying on budget and on schedule. Our team approach is what creates a unique customer experience for our clients”.
More Than Just a Pickup
Honey Baked Ham has become more than just a store to stop by and pickup your holiday treats…they now have a loyalty rewards program. They have also created a fundraising program for non profits to provide yet another way to give back to the community.
Construction is slated to begin early July. Look for more updates as the project progresses.

Every year 40 regional leaders under the age of 40 are recognized by The South Bend Regional Chamber’s 40 under 40 award. This recognition shines the spotlight on 40 of the area’s most talented and dedicated young executives, professionals and leaders who demonstrate career success and community engagement. The 2017 class will represent the 11th Michiana Forty under 40 class with 400 leaders already receiving recognition.

Ancon is proud to announce that Matthew VanSoest has been chosen for the class of 2017. Matt is a lead designer on the Ancon Design-Build team. As employee owner, Matthew and a holistic team of architects, engineers, project managers, and construction crews, work together on a daily basis on design and construction projects.

Furthermore, Matthew and the team push the boundaries and are on the leading edge of innovative, creative, and cost effective methods in architecture and construction – making sure both the design and cost are in sync with one another – a very large feat in this day and age!
Since 2012, Matthew has served on the transition team for ETHOS Science Center in Elkhart. He worked with the ETHOS team in developing several short term and long term visions and master planning concepts. Matt earned his Bachelors of Architecture in 2008 and went on to earn his Masters of Architecture 2010 with concentrations in educational design and community redevelopment.

GOSHEN, IN-Ancon Construction, a premier design build construction firm serving northern Indiana & Southern Michigan, has announced they are expanding their options for PEMB (Pre-Engineered Metal Building) solutions in order to provide our customers with the best values, solutions and schedule. As part of this strategy Ancon Construction will not renew our partnership agreement with Butler Manufacturing in 2017. PEMB (Pre Engineered Metal Buildings) are used in a variety of Ancon’s manufacturing, commercial, retail and institutional projects.
Ryan Kring, Vice President of Business Development commented, “We feel that there are many quality PEMB suppliers that provide the same level of quality and service which Butler has provided us in the past. By not committing to one manufacturer it gives Ancon the flexibility to provide multiple options for our clients within a competitive environment.” Kring added, “Our clients today are savvy and want options. This move provides Ancon the flexibility to provide more offerings and options for our clients.”
