Beacon Hill at Eastgate (Grand Rapids, Mich.) recently announced plans to break ground next summer on a major expansion plan that could add up to 150,000 square feet of new development according to Jeff Huegli, Beacon Hill’s president and CEO.
Beacon Hill is expecting to pay for the project with construction loans from participating banks, namely Huntington Bank, Huegli said. The plan, which already has received a letter of support from the neighborhood, will go before the Grand Rapids planning commission July 8 and Beacon Hill officials expect it will be approved.
The project also will involve converting all of Beacon Hill’s Mary and Martha Health Care Center’s semi-private suites into private residences, and adding about 15,000 square feet for 15 new private suites for short-term therapy guests. The expansion also will make room for a therapeutic gym and will include the addition of a Center for Arts and Worship, a 250-seat auditorium designed for entertainment and worship programs, which also will foster community interaction, Huegli said.
Paul Ryan Design Group (Dallas) will serve as the project’s architect. Greenbrier Development (Dallas) will serve as developer. Bridget Bohacz & Associates Inc., a Maryland-based firm, will be responsible for the interior design needs.
