Thanks! Since I moved to London recently for school, I try to at least post and follow all the big projects; I'm sure that other stuff falls between the cracks now.
On that note, more information (which includes an expansion of the project) was released for 616 Development's Lofts on Alabama:

See how 616 Development is expanding its plans for West Side apartment complex

GRAND RAPIDS, MI – 616 Development and Rockford Construction Co. are raising the ante for the “Lofts on Alabama” housing development they plan to create on the near West Side.
The project, which would re-use a 104-year-old carriage factory at 420 Alabama Ave NW and build a new apartment building on a parking lot across the street, now contemplates 100 apartments with an investment of nearly $20 million, according to plans submitted to the city’s Brownfield Redevelopment Authority.
Previous plans for the project envisioned an 85-unit project at a cost of $17.2 million. The revised plans expand the new apartment building to include 61 units while plans for the old factory envision 39 new loft-style apartments.
The developers are asking the Brownfield Redevelopment Authority to sign off on their request to capture nearly $2.8 million in tax dollars to help with the site cleanup costs and construction of a 36-space parking facility beneath the new building. The authority meets Thursday, Dec. 4, to consider the request.
The project would re-use a three-story brick building built in 1910 while demolishing a 1930 addition and two adjacent houses. Originally built as a carriage factory, the building also was used as a furniture factory and most recently, as a theatre lighting company.
