$4.27M land sale for downtown Kalamazoo arena gets final approval from county leaders

Commissioners voted Tuesday, July 18, to authorize Chair John Taylor to sign closing documents for the $4.27 million sale of county property to Catalyst Development Co., LLC, the developer behind the downtown arena project. Taylor signed a document to finalize the sale after a board discussion in April.

Tuesday’s action authorizes Taylor to sign closing documents, which are typically the final step in a real estate transaction.

The land is located between Park Street on the east side, Westnedge Avenue on the west side, Kalamazoo Avenue on the north side, and Eleanor Street on the south side, consisting of parcels at 411 W. Kalamazoo Avenue, 431 W. Kalamazoo Avenue, 330 N. Westnedge Avenue, and 452 Eleanor Street.

The over 320,000-square foot arena will take up those plots and other adjacent land taking up the majority of a four-block area downtown.
