Leonard Building-Grand Rapids Collaborative · Office Property For Lease · 11,552 SF

First built in 1883, the building was known as the Leonard Building, named after its builder Charles H Leonard. Leonard was a pioneer refrigerator manufacturer who made an innovative design that improved the refrigerator's interior so it was easy to clean. The building has always had its roots in entrepreneurship and innovation. The building operated as a grocery store until 1951 when it was occupied by Dykstra Wholesale which supplied local merchants with everything from dry goods and baby diapers to men's and women's apparel. Today, it serves as a hub for some of the most exciting tech start-ups within the City of Grand Rapids.
