Experience the rich history and revitalization of The Landing nestled in the heart of downtown Fort Wayne. The Landing is a historic neighborhood and bustling commercial district, where a vibrant community of independent businesses thrives, creating an electric social atmosphere. Steeped in history, The Landing boasts the distinction of being home to Fort Wayne's first post office, theater, and hotel. It's on these historic streets that our community's journey began, evolving from a county to a township, and ultimately, into the city we know today.
The Landing has reclaimed its role as the epicenter of downtown vibrancy and revitalization. A significant investment has been made to meticulously preserve its architectural heritage, expand the availability of residential units within the site, and modernize commercial spaces.
Notably, Columbia Street has undergone a remarkable transformation. Curbs have been removed from the street, creating a seamless transition between businesses and the thoroughfare. With freshly paved roads, new light fixtures, inviting benches, and thoughtfully landscaped green spaces, Columbia Street now stands as a welcoming and pedestrian-friendly boulevard.
For added versatility and community engagement, gates have been erected at each end of Columbia Street, enabling it to be closed to vehicular traffic, allowing for lively festivals and events that bring people together in celebration. Discover The Landing, where the past meets the present in a harmonious blend of history, culture, and modernity—a dynamic testament to the enduring spirit of Fort Wayne's downtown core.
