Ancon Construction, premier design|build construction firm, announces that a new Holiday Inn Express will begin construction on the south side of South Bend. The location will be in the out lot area of the former Kmart/Sears site near the corner of Ireland Road and US 31/Michigan. JSK Hospitality has partnered with Ancon Construction on this project which looks to open April 2018.
The hotel will have 88 rooms and full amenities. In addition to the hotel, there are other future projects being planned on the once vacant site. Ryan Kring, Vice President of Business Development commented, “We are thrilled to begin a partnership with JSK Hospitality. Their organization has grown and they now are in a position to work with design build general contractors like Ancon. As a south side resident myself, I am happy to see this long time vacant area begin to see new life. I believe this project will be the catalyst for future development for the entire site.” Kring went on to say that he can easily envision a future restaurant and perhaps even a brewery. Kring stated, “The location, with visibility from the bypass and direct access on US 31, provides tremendous exposure and high traffic counts. All things that developers look for when deciding where to build.”

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.

Apostolic Temple Church, located on Ironwood Drive in South Bend, IN and Architect/General Contractor Ancon Construction will begin Phase 1 of a building project which aims to improve building accessibility. The phased projects will have an initial focus on improving building accessibility.
Phase 1, overseen by Project Manager Ken Wright, will include a new entrance canopy, sloped concrete walk, expanded north lobby, and a new ADA restroom. “One of the most common ministry design challenge is overcoming barriers such as existing stairs/steps, lack of maneuvering clearance for wheel chairs, or original restrooms that do not meet current ADA compliance standards,” explains Ancon Designer Matthew VanSoest. “Solutions to these issues are typically very challenging since we have limited space to work with. We are dealing with existing conditions from the early to mid-1900’s and are trying to upgrade/modify many aspects of the built environment – bringing them to current standards and/or compliance.”

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.”
