Rare LEED Certified Urban Offering in a Prime Multifamily Market

​

NAI Wisinski Great Lakes (member NAI Global) is pleased to present the exclusive offering of The Gallery Apartments, a 56 unit, Class “A”, high rise apartment community located in vibrant and growing Grand Rapids, MI.  This represents a rare opportunity to acquire an urban asset within the Grand Rapids market, where very few downtown/near downtown assets typically trade.  The property is comprised of a seven story apartment tower positioned on top of a separately owned, five story museum building and a city owned parking structure, and represents floors six through twelve of this unique mixed use project.  The building is a prominent and attractive feature of the downtown Grand Rapids skyline.

 

Although Grand Rapids is not a “tier 1” market, it is the second largest market in Michigan and boasts the strongest and most stable economy of any market within the state.  Grand Rapids metropolitan area has received national recognition and numerous accolades for its diverse economy, highly educated labor force, reasonable cost of living and outstanding quality of life. 

​

Overall, the asset is well operated and maintained.  It is being offered for sale for the first time by the original developer and shows clear pride of ownership.

​

Location, Location, Location!

The asset is extremely well located in the heart of the Central Business District (CBD), where all of the excitement and activities of a thriving community are readily accessible.  “The Rapid” interurban transit bus stop is immediately adjacent to the property and can transport you to anywhere in the downtown district.  The property is only a 10-15 minute walking time to numerous opportunities for employment, higher education, entertainment, restaurants and shopping, including the following highlights:

• “Medical Mile” District - home to the Spectrum Health complex (Butterworth Hospital, renowned Helen Devos Children’s Hospital, Lacks Cancer Center, Fred & Lena Meijer Heart Center), Van Andel Research Institute, Michigan State University (MSU) College of Human Medicine-Grand Rapids Campus, GVSU Cook-Devos Center for Health Sciences (Nursing School) and more.  Over three billion dollars have been invested within this unique district.  It serves as a major development and employment catalyst, as well as dramatically enhancing quality of life for West Michigan residents.

This partial list barely scratches the surface of the resources and amenities available to residents of The Gallery Apartments, either by foot or by vehicle. The subject property offers quick access to Interstate-196, a major artery connecting Grand Rapids to Detroit to the east and Chicago to the west, providing an easy commute to abundant employment opportunities, as well as schools, shopping, restaurants and entertainment throughout the Greater Grand Rapids area.  The property resides within the Grand Rapids-Wyoming, Michigan MSA, which is home to a large number of employers from diversified manufacturing, service and professional sectors.

​

Grand Rapids is a vibrant and growing community with a diverse economy.  Its downtown area is the beneficiary of several billion dollars invested over the past few decades.
