On Tuesday, Veridea presented a new vision for the Houghton Waterfront Project during a Houghton County Planning Commission meeting.
HOUGHTON The Veridea Group unveiled renderings for its proposal for a mixed-use development on the current site of the large parking deck on Lakeshore Drive during a joint meeting of Houghton’s city council, planning commission and Downtown Development Authority Tuesday night.
The proposal includes a mix of retail, hotel, conference center and residential space between Huron and Quincy streets, as well as green space on adjoining property to the east.
Veridea CEO Bob Mahaney said Veridea had worked to accommodate public concerns and to create something in line with the historic appearance of downtown. He estimated it would create around 200 jobs.
