Brand successions on one corner to the present

1967–2017 · TWO SOUTH BEND CORNERS (BOUNDARY)

Boundary — the successions run whole, flag by flag, at the strength the record reached: on the flagship's corner — Main and Washington, where the Oliver stood until 1967 — the successor is a tower, not a house: the 25-story Valley American Bank Building, opened 1971 and still the tallest building in the South Bend area, later the Chase Tower, at 211–213 West Washington Street. The tower always carried a hotel inside the bank-and-office shell, and its documented flags run: the Magnuson Grand Hotel, some 180 rooms, which closed on 13 June 2014 for the building's renovation after Washington Square Realty bought the tower out of foreclosure in March 2014 (it had sat in receivership from 2011); then the conversion announced 21 September 2015 — a $30 million redevelopment, the hotel portion redesigned at $15 million — under which the shell reopened in early 2017 as Aloft South Bend, Starwood's first hotel in Indiana, 183 rooms across eleven floors of the tower, with 83 apartments converted from the office floors above and beside it: the hotel inside a reused shell, on the flagship's corner, is this ground's whole entry under that head. One link of the audit's fuller chain is flagged rather than printed as fact: the Holiday Inn flag that preceded the Magnuson in the tower is asserted in the floor pattern for this corner but was not documented in the open record reached; settler, the Tribune hotel record and the city directory runs. The convention-centre corner runs cleaner: the hotel at 123 North St. Joseph Street, skywalk-connected to the Century Center, traded as the South Bend Marriott — 298 rooms, owned by Host Hotels & Resorts — until The Hotel Group acquired it and rebranded it a DoubleTree by Hilton on 5 August 2011, completing the multi-million-dollar renovation with a grand reopening on 14 May 2013 at 291 rooms; it trades as the DoubleTree in November 2026. Under the row's last head: no casino hotel tower stands on this ground — the county's casino record reached names no hotel tower, and none is invented. Osceola's share of the succession article is the by-now familiar one: the town has no corner in it, because it has no house.
