7 buildings
Thoughtfully designed across 15+ acres, Factory Yards is a mixed-use destination including residences, commercial space, unique restaurants, performance space, art installations, and community gathering areas. Abundant outdoor amenity space connectivity and pervasive creativity make this a unique community for all.
15+ TOTAL ACRES
A site this large adjacent to the urban core presents a unique opportunity for placemaking. Our site program has been developed with the community in mind, and our carefully curated mixture of tenants and users is designed to create an experience that can’t be replicated.
450+ APARTMENTS
There is an old real estate saying - “nothing is more local than dirt.” Perhaps not the most artful prose, but we believe in the idea. With over 450 apartment dwellings intertwined within a unique mixed-use context, our residents will benefit from a sense of tight knit community combined with cutting edge design and placemaking - all with a local twist.
150,000+ SQ/FT
From a locally curated food hall, bar, and event space to commercial suites available for local entrepreneurs and larger enterprise alike, the commercial space within Factory Yards has been carefully planned to ensure a mixture of uses that will create vibrancy, excitement, and functionality all at once.
1/2 ACRE OUTDOOR PLAZA
Getting outdoors is important. This is why the project includes a thoughtfully designed 1/2 acre outdoor plaza in the heart of the Factory Yards community. This space will interact with the commercial tenants, the community at large, and will serve as a gathering space for community building, music, and art throughout the year.

THERE’S ENERGY BUILDING ON THIS SIDE OF TOWN.
As part of Grand Rapids’ $116 million riverfront revitalization project, a 12,000-capacity amphitheater has been announced which will serve as the anchor for a mixed-use development on 20 acres along the Grand River—a short walk from Factory Yards.
This will foster more connectivity in the area and will further serve to enhance the district we are helping to create.
