This project, located in the heart of the medical mile in downtown Grand Rapids, focuses on driving innovation through public-private partnerships to bring new discoveries to market through research, testing and commercialization of new therapies and medical devices. Tenants will focus on disciplines such as cancer research, neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders, artificial intelligence, and medical device development.

The state-of-the-art MSU Grand Rapids Research Center opened in 2017 and is currently the only structure occupying the northeast corner of Michigan Street and Monroe Avenue. With the completion of the ground lease, the plans for the medical innovation building have continued to move forward as shown in the renderings for the new development. The project will be approximately 200,000 square feet with a 600-car parking structure. A third building is also being planned for the future.
