Ground officially broken at Seminary Square. 🪏
 
This morning, Buckingham Companies joined DePauw University and the City of Greencastle at the Robert G. Bottoms Alumni and Development Center to celebrate the ceremonial groundbreaking of Seminary Square, Greencastle’s newest mixed-use development.
Seminary Square will bring two four-story residential buildings, ground-floor retail anchored by a bookstore, and a landscaped central green to the corner of Indiana Street, College Avenue, Seminary Street, and Vine Street, steps from DePauw’s campus. Designed by Torti Gallas + Partners, the community draws on the traditional brick architecture that defines Greencastle and the university, so it feels as if it has always belonged here.
 
Projects like this only happen through true partnership. Thank you to DePauw University, the City of Greencastle, and everyone who joined us for remarks and refreshments to mark the start of construction.
We look forward to creating a place where students, faculty, and neighbors can live, gather, and connect.

At the same time, teams at our properties nationwide joined in, giving back to the communities where we live and work.

Thank you to every volunteer, team lead, and coordinator who made the day possible, and to First Baptist Athletics for having us. We're proud of what we accomplished together.

Then the courtyard filled with residents and their families to celebrate. Thank you, Bloomington! ❤️🤍 The Beverly Indiana University

The Buckingham Builders had an amazing day helping put the finishing touches on two Habitat for Humanity homes! 🏡💙

From installing door hardware, appliances, and mailboxes to adding address numbers, wrapping porch columns, building a shed, and checking off the final details, it was rewarding to help get these homes nearly move-in ready for two deserving homeowners.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to give back to our community and spend the day building alongside such an incredible team of women.

At Buckingham, every decision starts with the data. But knowing which data matters, and what to do when the market shifts beneath you, that's where experience comes in. VP of Asset Management Kristen LaPorte has spent her career at Buckingham doing both. Starting in market research and analytics, she now owns the full performance of the assets she once underwrote, giving her a perspective on development that very few people in this industry have.

That means understanding not just what a market looks like today, but where it's going. It means taking educated risks in areas of growth, studying resident profiles, employment bases, and school districts long before a single shovel hits the ground. And it means staying accountable to the numbers long after opening day, asking the hard questions, championing the teams, and making sure the vision that was built on paper translates into a community people actually want to call home.

in Carmel, Indiana is the result of years of that work. Watch this video to hear how Kristen thinks about the communities we build and why the research behind them is every bit as important as the product itself.
