The Union Street Market is the spot for fresh, local food and more at Electric Works. With Weigand heading up restorations in this building, the space is occupied by dozens of local merchants and restaurants to try and love. Located in Buildings 20, 20A, and 22, Union Street Market is also the home of the Fort Wayne Farmer’s Market.
BACK FROM THE PAST
Long before they were the site of the street market, Buildings 20, 20A, and 22 were the headquarters for maintenance, the phone department, the carpenter shop, and 10,000 IEUA transformer production. Each of these structures houses decades of history:
- Building 20 was raised in 1907
- Building 20A came in 1941
- Building 22 first opened in 1917
This combination of shops, assembly lines, and storage space adds together a total of 44,328 square feet, a space larger than nine basketball courts grouped together.
RETURNED TO ITS FORMER GLORY
Our construction teams focused on ensuring that every aspect of the job was handled with special care. Here are a few of the restorations that they made:
- Installed new flights of stairs
- Secured corrugated metal paneling
- Built out restrooms and other amenities
- Poured and polished new concrete flooring
- Assembled new kitchens, storefronts, and countertops
Renovating three existing structures over 100 years old is no easy task, but our team delivered the facility on schedule as promised. We are humbled to be part of such a significant project in this community.
With roots in northeast Indiana that go back more than 75 years, Do It Best continues its legacy of service, growth, and long-term improvement at its new world headquarters at the Electric Works campus in Fort Wayne, IN. Weigand served as the construction manager on this restoration project, renovating several floors of existing space to make room for Do It Best’s base of operations.
Employees have access to the on-site parking garage that serves workers, residents, and campus visitors. They are also within walking distance of the Union Street Market, filled with local vendors and restaurants, to grab meals, drinks, and more.
The headquarters occupies three floors, featuring:
- Large Conference Hall.
- Class spaces with walls that can be converted into additional rooms.
- Modern office layout.
- Large windows that match the original buildout and create natural lighting.
- Open-concept collaboration areas.
- Flexible workspaces.
Do It Best staff are also able to go up to their own personal rooftop space, complete with gardens and a beautiful view of the Fort Wayne skyline.

A ONE STOP SHOP FOR THE CITY
The new Mishawaka City Hall is a 92,000 square foot municipal building that is now home to Mishawaka City Utilities, the City of Mishawaka Police Department, and the city administration. With Weigand working as the Construction Manager, this much needed community asset features office spaces for city workers, sprawling council chambers equipped with the latest technology, a headquarters for crisis management, various sizes of conference rooms, crime labs, an evidence depo, and a fresh, modern design throughout the space.
CAREFUL PLANNING PAYS OFF
Extra care and detailed planning went into ensuring the safety of each office represented in the building, as the City Hall is designed specifically to maximize security without the need for metal detectors. Thanks to the extra space that the old Liberty Mutual building provided, the City of Mishawaka is able to run with greater efficiency, with multiple departments now able to function under the same roof.
COMPLETED WITH NO INTERRUPTIONS
The St. Joseph Regional Medical Center in Mishawaka, IN is equipped to take on the needs of patients in the coming years thanks to a series of updates. With Weigand serving as the Construction Manager on this project, we renovated their 15 operating rooms (which were upgraded with new booms and flooring), their Cath and IR departments, and a buildout of a hybrid operating room with 7 additional patient rooms in their CIU shell space. We kept this project on schedule, creating a system that allowed St. Joseph’s medical procedures to run at 100% efficiency.
SAFE AND SANITARY
Because hospitals maintain various sanitation standards, there were certain hallways and rooms that we could not occupy during construction. By designing specific routes to each location, our crews were able to work in two rooms at a time. In this way, they could to go in and out of the hospital without interfering with staff or risking breach of sanitation codes.
DESIGNED FOR SUCCESS
Now surgeons, nurses, and other medical staff have access to the space and technology required to perform their work. As a result, patients from the Mishawaka can continue to receive only the best of care.
