As Muskegon continues to grow, its thriving real estate market and business environment have become a national success story. With 37 years of experience as one of Muskegon’s most knowledgeable real estate professionals, I can confidently say Muskegon’s dynamic mix of affordable housing, strategic location, and visionary projects is driving it to new heights. Recent developments highlight Muskegon’s appeal to investors of all scales, from small partnerships to large investors, with transformative projects reshaping the region.
Adelaide Pointe: A Visionary Waterfront Development
One of Muskegon’s most exciting projects is Adelaide Pointe, led by Ryan and Emily Leestma. This innovative mixed-use waterfront development combines luxury living, recreational amenities, and commercial opportunities. Set on 30 acres with direct access to Muskegon Lake, Adelaide Pointe is designed to create a vibrant hub for boating, dining, and community life. It’s not just a real estate project; it’s a bold reimagining of Muskegon’s lakeshore, attracting attention from across Michigan and beyond.
Shaw Walker Property: A Transformative Mixed-Use Project
The redevelopment of the Shaw Walker property by Jon Rooks is another landmark project for Muskegon. This iconic site is being revitalized into a thriving mixed-use development that will include residential, retail, and commercial spaces. The project will not only preserve the historical significance of the property but also bring modern amenities and opportunities to the Muskegon community, further enhancing the city’s appeal for investors.
Pure Muskegon: A Bold Vision for Muskegon Lake
The Pure Muskegon property is set to become one of the region’s most transformative developments, with plans for 2,000 new housing units along Muskegon Lake. This ambitious project will create an entirely new lakeside community, offering a mix of affordable and luxury housing, retail, and green spaces. It’s a shining example of Muskegon’s commitment to growth, sustainability, and waterfront living.
Cytiva’s $430 Million Life Sciences Facility
Another game-changer is Cytiva’s life sciences manufacturing plant, which is undergoing a $430 million transformation in Muskegon Township. Repurposing the former BASF plant on Whitehall Road, the facility is already making an impact with 70 employees hired and more to come. This project not only strengthens Muskegon’s manufacturing sector but also underscores the region’s growing importance in global life sciences and advanced manufacturing.
Howmet Aerospace’s $108 Million Expansion
In Whitehall, Howmet Aerospace Inc. is planning a $108 million facility to expand its production of jet engine and industrial gas turbine components. The project includes 107,000 square feet of manufacturing space and 4,500 square feet of office space. This expansion reinforces Muskegon County’s position as a leader in high-tech manufacturing and aerospace innovation.
Muskegon: A Hotspot for Investors
Muskegon’s thriving economy, coupled with its natural beauty and affordability, makes it a top destination for investors. The National Association of Realtors recently recognized the Grand Rapids area, including Muskegon, as a housing hotspot for 2025. With over 2,260 real estate transactions in the last year and countless opportunities for both residential and commercial investment, Muskegon offers unmatched potential.
