Muskegon -
Not exactly building development, per se, but how cool would it be to volunteer to help restore this 117-year-old steamer? It is an incredible asset to the city, and could be even more so with a proper restoration. Check out the video in the link - it's fascinating if you're into boats or history - Quote:

Muskegon -
The ribbon-cutting for the VanDyk Mortgage Convention Center in downtown Muskegon took place Monday. We can officially move this one from "under construction" to "complete"! :) :cheers: :tup: :yes: Quote:

A small sign of confidence for the summer travel season, Muskegon County Airport (MKG) is adding a third daily United Airlines Express flight from Muskegon to Chicago, starting June 3, 2021. F3 Airport, a Milwaukee-based company, now manages MKG - Quote:

Spring Lake -
This is a small blip on the development radar, but at $3.5 million, it's worth a nod. The park in question is a very odd little trailer park / campground that the village has owned for over a century - Quote:

Muskegon -
Preliminary information has been released for a new mixed-use, downtown development with an integrated 500-space parking ramp. The ~ $25 million project would be built along West Western Avenue, between Third and Fourth streets - near the new convention center. The parking deck portion - estimated at $15 million - could be wholly funded by state & federal transportation dollars. Preliminary drawings indicate a five-story structure, with commercial space and approximately 50 residential units. The development site is owned by Grand Rapids-based Trillium Ventures, which also owns the nearby Amazon apartments - Quote:

More Muskegon news -
This could be pretty transformative for the downtown area around City Hall and the County Hall of Justice. The automobile-centric Terrace Street is a vestige of the old downtown Muskegon Mall, back when road infrastructure was 'driven' towards moving large quantities of suburbanites into and out of downtown quickly and efficiently. This proposal will turn the four-lane, divided boulevard into a two-lane, two-way street with a possible dedicated bike path. Last year, one lane in each direction was converted to angled, on-street parking, as an initial & temporary measure to curtail traffic. This proposal takes it to the next level. I'm continuously impressed with how fast this small city is implementing positive changes and encouraging growth downtown. Quote:

Muskegon -
Update on "The Leonard". It's going up fast, as a result of the precast concrete construction methodology. I'm noticing more and more of this type of construction in our area, and I can only guess that it is related to the rising costs of steel & wood. The project is scheduled to be complete y January 2022. There's a little teaser at the end of the video, stating that the developer wants to build two more buildings on adjacent vacant lots, to be named "The Dylan" and "The Marley". Presumably these are his children's names? Or perhaps his dogs :haha: |

Benton Harbor -
A 4-story, 80-unit waterfront apartment building proposed by Whirlpool Corp. seems to have the city's support. The $22 million project would be built at 170 Riverview Dr. - directly across from the Whirlpool HQ, and it would specifically support Whirlpools goal of increasing diversity on its payroll by offering more housing opportunities in the locale - Quote:

Grand Haven -
Michigan Community Capital's "Robinson Landing" development broke ground earlier this month. The $7.5 million project will add 30 new single-family homes in the city limits, priced between $139,900 to $279,900. Grand Haven Area Community Foundation is supporting the investment with a $1.5 million low-interest loan, and half of the homes will be in the Grand Haven Area Community Land Trust (CLT) program (a home-purchase + long-term land lease program) - Quote:

That Whirlpool apartment complex is pretty big news for Benton Harbor!

Albion -
(Technically Albion is part of the Kalamazoo-Battle Creek-Portage CSA, according to Wikipedia) but since other Albion posts have gone in here, I'll include this one here as well) Albion College has announced it plans to begin redeveloping the former Washington Gardner High School that it acquired in 2011. The long-term vision has been to transform it into a campus and community destination. It will be remodeled into an integrated arts and wellness center, beginning as soon as this summer. The historic building was constructed in 1928 - Quote:

Coldwater (Ovid Township) -
Lakeland Elementary School, part of Coldwater Community Schools, opened in December 2020, along Otis Rd, south of town. The 2-story building houses 4th & 5th graders, and replaces an older facility as part of a 2017 bond passage. My post is bit delayed, but the project is significant enough for Coldwater to warrant a mention on here - the new school cost approximately $20 million to build - EDIT: more photos can be found here - https://www.dropbox.com/s/lg09suep5d...%201.jpg?raw=1 https://www.dropbox.com/s/4w8aw8us7u...%202.jpg?raw=1 https://www.dropbox.com/s/so5q3ewr5p...%203.jpg?raw=1 https://www.dropbox.com/s/2vsj3fzunq...%204.jpg?raw=1 Source: LinkedIn | Jason Keen |
