The Elwood officially opens in Kokomo as Goodin Development receives Certificate of Occupancy

Goodin Development announced that The Elwood, a $26 million mixed-use development in Kokomo, has received its certificate of occupancy and is now officially open.

This marks a major milestone for Goodin Development and for the City of Kokomo, as the community welcomes its first residents.

Located at 1400 E. Hoffer Street, The Elwood brings 114 Class-A apartment units after only 12 months of construction. The development is a public-private partnership between Goodin Development and the City of Kokomo, and it stands as one of the most significant private investments in the Hoffer Corridor to date.

"Our goal from day one was to set a new standard for quality living here in Kokomo," said Justin Goodin, Founder and CEO of Goodin Development. "The Elwood is the premier place to live within the city, and now that we have our certificate of occupancy, residents can finally see and experience what we set out to build. This is a proud day for our team and for Kokomo."

The Elwood is named after Elwood Haynes, the Indiana-born inventor and industrialist known for his work on early automobiles and stainless steel. The name reflects Kokomo's history of innovation while giving the city a modern community built for how people want to live today.

Every apartment at The Elwood is designed to set a new standard for luxury living within the city. One and two-bedroom homes feature:

• Quartz countertops and tile kitchen backsplashes
• Stainless steel appliances
• Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring
• Walk in closets
• Smart locks 
• In-unit washers and dryers
• Private balconies or patios
• Modern black-framed windows

Beyond the units themselves, The Elwood offers amenities that are hard to find anywhere else in Kokomo, including a work-from-home lounge, a rooftop patio, a state-of-the-art fitness center, an indoor/outdoor resident cafe, a pet spa, indoor bike storage, a courtyard with grilling stations and a fire pit, and EV car charging stations. Combined with the location in the heart of Kokomo, close to local shops, restaurants, and employers, The Elwood gives residents a level of convenience and quality that sets it apart from every other apartment option in the area.
