Belknap Place in Grand Rapids, MI by Integrated Architecture
Project Description

USGBC LEED Gold Certified Belknap Place is a new 3-story, 50-unit apartment building nestled in the historic Belknap Lookout neighborhood of Grand Rapids that provides an equitable mix of affordable and market-rate residential units. Belknap Place incorporates neighborhood-centric design to not impose on the current neighborhood dynamic. The design maintains the neighborhood character and scale on the site. First-floor units are walk-up-style with porches and individual entries. Various building materials were used on the façade, including brick, metal, and composite panels, to create a modern feel to a traditional style.
