Grand Rapids-Kentwood
Commercial Real Estate Financing in Grand Rapids, MI
Grand Rapids is West Michigan's commercial center and a global hub for office furniture manufacturing (Steelcase HQ, MillerKnoll/Herman Miller HQ in Zeeland, Haworth HQ in Holland), healthcare (Corewell Health, Trinity Health Grand Rapids), automotive supply, food and beverage (Meijer HQ, the Gerber/Nestle plant), and a growing life sciences cluster on the Medical Mile. The metro's economy is among the most diversified in the Midwest, with strong industrial absorption along the US-131 corridor, robust multifamily fundamentals supported by population in-migration, and increasing institutional capital flows that lagged Tier 2 markets in prior cycles.
