In 1924, a three-story brick building in northwest Grand Rapids opened as a storage business with a large block letters advertising a “fire-proof warehouse” painted on the side.
A laundromat moved in three decades later, followed by a pool hall called Lucky Ball in the 1970s.
But now the century-old brick building houses 18 apartments, a retailer and office space. The 730 Leonard project completed by Bazzani Building Co. last year is an example of adaptive reuse – a growing trend of renovating existing buildings into new housing.
“We look at it as a giant recycling project,” said Bazzani director of marketing Heather Coyne.
