Impact

Building more than buildings.

For more than twenty years we've taken on complicated properties across West Michigan. Sometimes impact means housing people can afford. Sometimes it means bringing a vacant building back to life. And sometimes, as at The Highlands, the best development decision is not to develop at all.

We believe good development can create value for investors while also creating lasting value for the communities where we work. Here's the work, project by project. Sources are at the bottom of the page.

01 · Environmental stewardship

Sometimes development should take a back seat.

121 acres

Once a golf course. Now a public natural area protected by Blandford Nature Center and the Land Conservancy of West Michigan.124

In July 2016 we signed a contract to buy the former Highlands Golf Club on Grand Rapids' West Side and build housing there. The neighbors weren't sold, and many of them pointed next door to Blandford Nature Center as the right steward for the land.

We sat down with Blandford, and the housing plan went on the shelf. In early 2017 we exercised our option and sold the property to Blandford Nature Center and the Land Conservancy of West Michigan for $3.5 million, with short-term loans from The Conservation Fund financing the purchase. A community campaign later raised more than $5 million to pay for the land, restore it and take care of it.

We put money toward the purchase, and so did Pioneer Construction. Ours came on top of our own closing costs. We're one of the campaign's funders, alongside the Grand Rapids Community Foundation, the Wege Foundation, the Consumers Energy Foundation and many others.

The Highlands opened to the public in July 2017. Where the fairways were, there are now 75 acres of restored native grassland, eight new wetlands and nearly three miles of trail. In 2022, work began to bring a buried drain back to the surface as an open stream.1–9

Once we started talking to Blandford about the future of the property, we realized that sometimes development needs to take a back seat to an idea that benefits our entire community.

02 · Housing

Affordable housing, counted one building at a time.

We developed all four of these with PK Development Group, and each one mixes affordable and market-rate apartments. The affordable ones are financed in part with federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credits awarded through the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA).

In the 123-apartment tax-credit building, 98 apartments use tax credits and 25 are held at or below 80% of area median income under our New Markets Tax Credit agreement. There's a Gordon Food Service grocery on the ground floor.

    MSHDA June 2020 round: $906,067 a year in tax credits, plus $45,303 more in 2022.1124–3038

    The former Dominican Sisters Motherhouse, now apartments for people 55 and older. 52 apartments use 9% tax credits; the 56-apartment second phase uses 4% tax credits and an MSHDA loan, with 45 affordable apartments and 11 at market rate.

    MSHDA February 2021 round: $1,196,939 a year in 9% tax credits, plus $143,633 more in 2022. MSHDA loan for the second phase: $5.25 million (2023).121331–36

Total affordable apartments
288

How we count: an apartment counts as affordable here only if it's legally restricted to households at or below 80% of area median income. Apartments that are simply priced for moderate incomes don't count. Tax-credit awards are yearly amounts, claimed each year for ten years.

Keeping the Motherhouse.

The Marywood Motherhouse on Fulton Street was built in 1928 and was home to the Dominican Sisters of Grand Rapids for most of a century. In 2020 the Sisters agreed to transfer it to us and PK Development Group so it could become senior housing.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2022, and historic tax credits helped pay for the work. We kept much of the exterior, the chapel and the terrazzo floors. Residents started moving into Academy Manor in October 2024, and 97 of its 108 apartments are affordable.

In 2025 the Grand Rapids Historic Preservation Commission named it one of two Most Outstanding Preservation Projects by a Group.91234–374243

04 · Neighborhood revitalization

Property that had stopped working.

Much of our work is on contaminated industrial land, vacant buildings and obsolete plants. Some of it gets rebuilt. Some of it, when the bones are good, gets rehabilitated.

Adaptive reuse

833 Michigan, the former Miller-Zylstra Lumber building, now medical offices, on Michigan Street NE in Grand Rapids

Michigan Street NE · 2013

Lumberyard Lofts + 833 Michigan

The former Miller-Zylstra Lumber building at 833 Michigan Street NE was sitting empty. Today it's 11,000 square feet of medical offices, home to a dermatology practice and Michigan Street Optical. Behind it, the two-story brick warehouse at 411 Houseman Avenue NE (855 Michigan) became Lumberyard Lofts: eight apartments over three storefronts — Snap Fitness, an Indian restaurant and Polly's Wine Experience. A $922,552 state Community Revitalization Program grant and a City brownfield plan helped make the roughly $6 million project work, and the two buildings brought about 60 jobs to the block.92346–49

The old Benteler Automotive campus on Hall Street SW was sitting empty. We rehabilitated the 190,000-square-foot building for industrial, warehouse and office tenants.5253

Eight brownfield plans.

Brownfield financing is how a city helps pay to fix a contaminated, blighted or obsolete site. Eligible costs — environmental work, demolition, site prep, public infrastructure and sometimes parking — get paid back out of the new property taxes the finished project generates. The City of Grand Rapids has approved eight brownfield plans for our projects since 2004, seven of them on or just off Michigan Street NE.

  1. 2004

    Mid Towne Village

    Our first project, and the one Third Coast was founded on. We assembled the site from more than 40 homes, most of them vacant; the plan qualified because 33 of the 43 homes in the 2004 plan were blighted.94954–56

How we approach redevelopment

05 · Community support

100 meals a day, no questions asked.

Garage Bar & Grill is owned by our partners — Brad Rosely, Dave Levitt and Max Benedict — and its operator, Kevin Farhat, in a building we own at 819 Ottawa Avenue NW. It's a restaurant, not a real estate project, but this one's worth telling.

Garage Bar & Grill on Ottawa Avenue NW in Grand Rapids

In March 2020, as COVID-19 closed dining rooms, Kevin Farhat and the Garage Bar staff launched Garage Bar Cares at 819 Ottawa Avenue NW. The plan was 100 free meals a day for 30 days for people who had lost work, on the honor system. As Michigan's stay-home order was extended, so was the program, with a final run scheduled through May 28, 2020, and it later served first responders too.

The restaurant's owners paid for it together with sponsors including Mercantile Bank, Pioneer Construction, Car City, Custer, Century Professional Flooring & Cleaning, EatGR, Leadco, InsureIt, Anderson Neitzel Investment Group of Wells Fargo Advisors and Third Coast Development, plus an anonymous family and private donors.

By Kevin's count, the program served nearly 6,000 meals, about $57,000 worth of food, and kept the restaurant's staff working. Revue readers later voted Garage Bar & Grill runner-up for Pandemic Standout in the magazine's 2021 Best of the West.2359–65
