West side of Grand may see riverfront development

A Brownfield Redevelopment Zone has been granted, paving the way for a proposed office development on the west bank of the Grand River in Grand Rapids. It could become the largest new development project on that riverbank in years.

According to excerpts from the story:

A new $8.5 million office building is on the drawing board for the riverfront, but this time it’s planned to go up on the west bank of the Grand River.

The proposed building site is about a block south of the historic Sixth Street Bridge where Front and Scribner avenues sort of merge at a parking lot that serves the Internal Revenue Service office on 678 Front Ave. NW.

Front Street Property LLC wants to build a three-story, 46,000-square-foot structure with some indoor parking spaces and a surface lot.
