(Whiting, IN) – Among a crowd that included project team members, local officials, and potential residents, the ribbon was cut at The Illiana on Wednesday, August 12 at the property location in Whiting, IN.

Approximately 50 people gathered to enjoy property tours, food and beverages from Bulldog Brewing, and cut the ribbon at Holladay’s newest multifamily development. The Illiana, a public-private partnership with the City of Whiting, is in a great location and offers proximity to downtown Whiting shopping and restaurants and Lake Michigan.

“I really appreciate all the help we’ve had from the City of Whiting throughout this project,” said Mike Micka, VP-Development for Holladay Properties. “The City had the vision for what this are could be, and they acquired this site and got it ready for development. Without that vision, we wouldn’t be here today.”

Discussions for the Illiana began over three years ago with the City of Whiting and may be considered a game changer for the region, providing a piece of its downtown master plan. Each unit features granite countertops, 9-foot ceilings, kitchen islands, private balconies, two beds and two baths.

The Illiana has 32 units featuring three different floorplans: the Whihala at 962 square feet, the Marquette at 905 square feet, and the Marina at 897 square feet. Unit price ranges from $1,500 to $1,600 per month depending on unit size and location by floor, and leases extend for either six months or 12 months. A nonrefundable tenant application fee of $50 also applies.

Holladay Properties also serves as the property manager and leasing company for The Illiana. For more information on, visit https://www.theilliana.com/ or call (219) 799-2048.
