Neighborhood Ventures

Current Commercial Projects

Neighborhood Ventures (NV) currently has three projects in our targeted geographic areas: Southtown, Uptown, and Burton Heights. In each project area, various programs and assistance are offered. 

"Neighborhood Ventures is an indispensable resource for our business as we work to renovate and construct buildings in Grand Rapids urban core, helping us find tenants for our commercial spaces, and then helping those tenants build up their small businesses. Neighborhood Ventures is an enormous support for neighborhood business districts and a great asset to Grand Rapids."
-Barry, Jackson and Heather Van Dyke, Owners, Bear Manor Properties
