Over in Holland, the The Shops at Westshore are back for the first time since 2021. It's scaled down a bit, according to the piece in the Holland Sentinel.

Muskegon Brewing Co. plans for June opening at new Adelaide Pointe development

The renderings look pretty cool and having Pigeon Hill involved should help them have solid beer right off the bat.

Very nice!  I'm guessing this is going to looking over Muskegon Lake?

This isn't GR restaurant related, but Lakeshore related.

They focus on some new restaurants along the lakeshore that are opening, will open and some that have closed. A nice recap/review for this summer for those going to the Lakeshore.

This project is officially dead. But potentially good news, GTRLC has made an offer on the land to turn it into a Nature Preserve. They always strike a good balance between public access, handicap accessibility, and minimizing environmental impact. They are the group behind Arcadia Dunes, which is an excellent example of their low impact approach.

Closer to home in Zeeland.  Downtown is ripped up all summer as they are installing snowmelt and upgrading utilities.  The restaurant Public just opened up again as well, it was a destination for many before a leasing dispute and subsequent closure a few years back.  This is being typed at Tripelroot, a nice small brewery downtown if anyone ever is looking to venture out to someplace new.  The construction you see is a tear down of 2 underutilized 1 story buildings and will be mixed use with a pedestrian tunnel to the parking lot on the back side of the businesses.

More housing is coming to Muskegon, right next to Adelaide Pointe.

Paywall: https://www.crainsgrandrapids.com/news/real-estate/plan-for-546-housing-units-at-former-muskegon-furniture-plant-moves-forward/

"With the proposed 546 additional housing units and existing Watermark Lofts, the approximately 730,000 square feet of space on site will contain 601 housing units when completed, Parkland Properties President Jon Rooks said Thursday at the planning meeting. 

 

Site plans call for adding 432 apartments aimed toward workforce housing and missing middle price points, 69 condominiums with starting prices of about $275,000, and 37 townhomes.

 

The apartments would comprise 31 studio units, 347 one-bedroom units, 44 two-bedroom units and 10 three-bedroom units. The 69 condo units would include 64 two-bedroom units and five one-bedroom units. The 37 townhomes would all have three bedrooms and two-car garages facing Muskegon Lake."

"Elite Hospitality Group’s project would include dual brands with a 59-room Hampton Inn and 72-room Home2 Suites by Hilton for extended stays of four nights or more, Bacall said. The project would include a shared lobby, a fitness center, two patios and an outdoor lounge, plus space on the site for a restaurant."

More housing to be built in Muskegon, right by the beach and USS Silversides.

Grand Haven adds a brewery/distillery

Paywall: https://www.crainsgrandrapids.com/news/restaurants-1/grand-haven-couple-converts-long-vacant-auto-shop-into-postmodern-brewery-distillery/

"Kurt Knoth will lead the brewery, alongside a local brewer who will bring professional experience. He expects Off the Chain’s beer lineup to include Ike’s Brew, a stout named after one of the family’s dogs, an IPA, and a lager brewed in the style of Yuengling. The company’s line of spirits will feature a speed-aged rum, plus gin, vodka and bourbon."

A nice roundup on three projects on the Lakeshore in Grand Haven, Port Shelon and Holland.

https://www.crainsgrandrapids.com/news/real-estate/3-lakeshore-communities-lean-on-private-partners-for-major-waterfront-projects/

"In Grand Haven, the city council is set to choose a private partner next month to redevelop the city’s 3.4-acre Chinook Pier property downtown. Farther south, Port Sheldon Township is working with various partners to gather feedback on future redevelopment opportunities for a Consumers Energy coal plant set to be decommissioned next year. At the southern border of the county, Geenen DeKock Properties Group LLC continues to work through necessary environmental approvals to construct an expansive mixed-use project on city-owned, lakefront property in Holland."

The piece goes into detail for each project.

A new brewery coming to downtown Saugatuck. 

Having visited the area a few times recently, I did notice this building sitting empty on a prime spot in town. Glad to see it will be filled with something that will contribute to the town and the walkability.

https://www.crainsgrandrapids.com/news/restaurants-1/new-saugatuck-brewery-plans-march-opening-in-historic-downtown-building/

"The owners expect to open the brewery in March 2025 with an outdoor biergarten and a full kitchen. While plans for the brewery remain in the preliminary stages, the partners plan to brew on-site and rely on a contract distiller to source vodka, bourbon and gin for the business."

More housing coming to Grand Haven, specifically downtown.

https://www.crainsgrandrapids.com/news/real-estate/developer-proposes-demolishing-downtown-grand-haven-building-for-new-residential-project/

"The project proposes to demolish the Fredricks Insurance Agency LLC-owned two-story, 13,260-square-foot Forum building and replace it with a new nearly 50,000-square-foot building, dubbed Forum Lofts. 

Initial plans call for a covered parking garage on the first floor with three floors of residential units above. Common areas in the building could include an upper floor deck or club room for tenants."

With the help of the Inflation Reduction Act and some additional money from Michigan, Muskegon is going to get a "new first-of-its-kind" battery components plant:

Interesting that this news comes on the heels of accusations of CCP bribery to Green Charter TWP city officials.

Yeah, but it's just accusations from the GOP. They've played that game and been debunked far too many times to take seriously anymore. They cried wolf too many times
