Eenhoorn LLC will soon relocate its national headquarters from Cascade Township to the Plaza Towers building, bringing 22 more workers to the heart of the city daily.
The national property management and real estate investment company purchased Plaza Towers in 2001. Now it's nearing the completion of a high-end renovation of 8,500 square feet of office space on the main level at 231 Fulton Street, Grand Rapids – nearly double its current digs.
"We're poising ourselves to grow and positioning ourselves to be prepared for that growth," says Lena Stob, project manager. "We are poised to expand our portfolio and need to have the space to employ more people to help manage the properties."
Outstanding features in the lobby are a custom-made cherry wood floating ceiling and large, bright paintings by local artist
Reb Roberts.
Some of the other local products include the furniture throughout the space from
Herman Miller,
Steelcase and
Nucraft.
Dooge Veneers created the eucalyptus veneer tables in the reception area and nearby conference room.
A glass and steel spiral staircase connects the main lobby to the Skywalk.
Work areas include the executive suite, an open office area with the original concrete ceiling and concrete pillars, and a separate area with nine private offices. The private offices have 9-foot-high glass barn doors that maximize access to the daylight coming through nearby windows.
Warm colors throughout the main office give way to a cool palette of white, gray and green in the kitchen/break area where employees can relax.
Eenhoorn will relocate in December.
Jeffrey Parker Architects handled the interior design. Anthony Beckman of Grand Rapids was the general contractor.
