Named in honor of Evansville’s historic Republic Aviation factory — where P-47 Thunderbolt aircraft were produced during World War II — The Republic pays tribute to the industrial heritage of the city while looking forward as a premier destination for modern urban living.

The Republic will consist of 2 four-story buildings totaling 153 one- and two-bedroom Class-A apartments alongside 3,159 square feet of commercial and restaurant space, including an outdoor dining patio.

The project is structured as a public-private partnership supported by Tax Increment Financing (TIF) from the City of Evansville, as well as READI funding awarded by both the IEDC and the Southwest Indiana Regional Development Authority.
“We are truly honored to partner with the City of Evansville and our regional partners to bring a development of this caliber to the Promenade district,” said Justin Goodin, Founder and CEO of Goodin Development. “The Promenade area is experiencing tremendous growth, and The Republic is designed to contribute to that growth in a meaningful way. Bringing quality housing to this area will support the local businesses and restaurants nearby.”

Every apartment home at The Republic will feature upscale interior finishes including quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, tile kitchen backsplashes, tile shower surrounds, full-size in-unit washer and dryer, modern black windows, smart locks and thermostats, walk-in closets, and a private balcony or patio. The combination of high-end finishes and thoughtful design positions The Republic as the premier rental option in the Evansville market.
Resort-Style Amenities

Community features include a luxury rooftop patio, rooftop work-from-home lounge, resort-style pool with outdoor seating, indoor/outdoor cafe lounge, state-of-the-art fitness center, pet spa, indoor bike storage, EV charging stations, secure package room, and a dedicated move-in/move-out room.
