GRAND RAPIDS, MI The historic Sligh Furniture Company building in Grand Rapids would be renovated as part of a project being pitched by a Detroit developer that would bring 753 apartments, ground-floor retail, and greenspace to the Roosevelt Park neighborhood.
The idea was discussed Thursday by the city’s South Division-Grandville Corridor Improvement Authority and developer John Gibbs of Detroit-based Sturgeon Bay Partners.
