2015 – 2017 – PRESENT · 224 FLORENCE AVENUE
The 2015 proposal the fragments left hanging now has its outcome. On 8 March 2015 the South Bend Tribune reported a four-storey, 91-room Holiday Inn Express proposed for the middle of Toscana Park, south of the Villa Macri restaurant and the piazza, on the paved ground used for Italian festivals — Ryan Rans, managing partner at Great Lakes Capital, which owned the center's northern part, saying the hotel had been in work for over a year and "was always planned as a physical structure"; the plan needed the City of Mishawaka's approval, Toscana Park being annexed city ground (the Neighborhoods file carries the Toscana Park PUD at 49 parcels, every one in the Mishawaka–Harris tax district, final plat recorded 3 October 2006). The approval came and the house was built — smaller than proposed, as built houses usually are. The Holiday Inn Express & Suites Mishawaka – South Bend trades today at 224 Florence Avenue inside Toscana Park, postal Granger 46530, municipally Mishawaka: the directory record dates its opening to 2017. The as-built counts conflict and print whole: the travel-directory record gives 86 rooms; the AAA record gives 90 units in a three-storey, smoke-free house — against the 91 rooms and four storeys of the 2015 proposal. With the Hampton, it makes the pair the travel directories rank as Granger's first and second houses ("#1 and #2 of 4 hotels in Granger," in the directories' postal geography), and with the Hampton it completes the ground's whole grand-house roster: Granger's flagship class is two select-service brand houses of the 2010s on annexed or line-disputed southern ground, and there is no third. No convention-centre hotel and no casino hotel tower exists to test at any size on this ground — the county's casino record belongs to South Bend's Four Winds (2018), outside the line, and no source reached proposes either form for Granger.
