Northwest Indiana’s Finest Developments
Land development has been a family business for generations. Our family roots in local development can be traced back to the 1800’s when Louis B. Schilling was creating subdivisions in Chicago Heights, Illinois. In the early 1900’s he began other developments in Dyer and Schererville, Indiana. Two of his sons, Frank & Louis, moved to St. John, Indiana in the 1930’s and continued the family business and ventured into other businesses such as Schilling Lumber. The family development business continues today under the Schilling Development name.
Schilling Development is located in St. John, Indiana. Subdivisions are currently being developed in Saint John, Crown Point, Chesterton, and Cedar Lake. Schilling Development also is planning developments in Lowell, Winfield, and other communities. Schilling Development continues to grow and build some of the finest communities in Northwest Indiana.
As a family owned and operated local developer with deep roots in the community, Schilling Development takes pride in all of its subdivisions.
Schilling Development is always looking to acquire additional land for development. If you would like us to look at your land, please contact us today. We respect the history of the family land and try to maximize the beauty of the existing terrain and features.
