Wayland Township -
Time for another Gun Lake Casino update. Finishes are progressing in the dining, spa, and lobby areas, as well as the hotel rooms. Interior concrete work, pool coping, and tectum panel installation is ongoing within the water park area (which I think has been named "Wawyé Oasis"). The exterior envelope is far along - the buck hoist has been removed and the openings that served it are now enclosed - Source: LinkedIn | Eric Tironi (Clark Construction Co.) This will be quite the destination between Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids, once it opens. |
Fruitport Township -
In other casino-related news - which reads like a lot of bureaucratic red tape at the state level and political maneuvering on the part of the developer - the Muskegon-area casino plan proposed by the Little River Band of Ottawa Indians might be dead. While a ~ $200+ million development that promises thousands of jobs sounds enticing on the surface, I'm pretty ambivalent about the notion of yet another casino in the state - Quote:

Muskegon -
I spotted this in my scrolling. The first new windows are going in at the Shaw-Walker. An interesting-looking sequence of construction. Makes me think they are just testing out the first few glazing units and frames, before demo'ing all of the other infilled brick openings - Source: Facebook | John Dick Allen |
Grand Haven -
In "anti-development" news, there was a pretty bad fire in Grand Haven Friday night. The Forum Building, at the corner of Third and Fulton (235 Fulton St.), burned through the night as multiple agencies from a dozen+ municipalities responded. Crews fought the blaze for 8 hours until around 5am, but it was determined a total loss and demolished the next day. Built in 1923 by Dirk Vyn & Son (Vine Drayage & Moving), the 100-year-old structure would eventually come to house an SOS office in the 1970s, before being remodeled into the multi-tenant building known most recently as The Forum. The local community has stepped up already to offer temporary space and to help raise funds for the many affected businesses - Source: Facebook | GHDPS Source: Fox 17 | Jeff Rolff Source: Facebook | John Stanton |
Grand Haven -
Coincidentally(?), The Forum building occupied the site of a proposed 50-unit residential development, dubbed Forum Lofts. A few months ago, developers pitched demolishing the 2-story building to build this 5-story structure - Quote:

^^^^ Looks like a great project. I remember years ago there was a similar proposal for that site that never got off the ground. Not sure if they cleared the site for that project or not, but its been vacant for a long time now.

Several very nice developments indeed, big news for St Joesph that will be a game changer for such a small community. Continually impressed by the amount of activity in Muskegon but for me the standout is the Marriott in Grand Haven that’s a beautiful project.

This got my attention today. . .

Oh wow the Fulton Market would truly be a city defining game changer for GR. Always happy when I see another Muskegon project moving forward, awesome to see the formerly parking lot riddled mall centric downtown return to form. As the biggest city on the Lake Michigan coast in Michigan as well as a part of the Grand Rapids Metro I can see Muskegon becoming one of the hottest cities in the state.
