Kalamazoo’s Downtown Housing Push | Grand Rapids News

Kalamazoo’s downtown is set to grow with a new four-story apartment complex across from the existing 400 Rose development, adding 71 units to tackle the city’s housing shortage. The site, once a fire station and training center, required asbestos removal before construction. Developers aim to connect the mall’s energy to the Bronson Hospital area, with 15 units reserved for low-income residents and all units kept “naturally affordable” at or below area median income. With only 6% of the needed 1,600 new units planned so far, this project could be a key step toward meeting demand—potentially breaking ground as early as October.
