On November 3, 2016, LEI celebrated the opening of our office at 800 Monroe Avenue, NW (Suite 120) in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Previously on Three Mile Road in Walker, we moved to this location to be close to our downtown clients and to enjoy the urban lifestyle. For more on our open house and ribbon cutting, visit the Grand Rapids Area Chamber of Commerce website at http://www.grandrapids.org/lakeshore-environmental-inc/.
LEI’s Grand Haven office is looking fresh with a new coat of exterior block sealant and paint. The process wasn’t pretty, however; power washing revealed the layers of old paint (teal green?!) from the buildings historic past. Once a local service substation for the telephone company, a furniture company, and various other businesses, it’s no surprise that the building has an environmental history too: a gasoline underground storage tank (UST) once released fuel into the soil and groundwater. The tanks were removed and environmental investigation work was conducted in the 1990’s prior to Lakeshore’s ownership in 2004. Our building is proof that old properties can have new lives! LEI’s team of professionals can help you with commercial real estate, USTs, and even help to source brownfield funding for your next project. We’re happy to hear from you and hear your story, just give us a call!
On Saturday, September 24, the Monroe North Business Association sponsored ArtBeat, a first annual community event in the heart of the Monroe North Business District, one of Grand Rapids’ recently revitalized neighborhoods that is experiencing a renaissance of commerce, culture and fun. This rejuvenated industrial neighborhood is home to our Grand Rapids office, and LEI joined in ArtBeat by handing out and stamping ArtBeat passports that encouraged visitors to take an interactive journey through the Monroe North Business District as they experienced ArtPrize. The neighborhood is hosting over 100 ArtPrize entries this year. ArtPrize is an annual art competition in Grand Rapids that has earned a reputation as the most-attended public art event in the world.
