As a design/build project, Fryling Construction is excited to help plan the layout of the Derby-style location.

Reeds Lake was a popular entertainment spot including a railway, ball park, theater, concert venue, many lakeside resorts, and even a small amusement park with a roller-coaster named the Jack Rabbit Derby Racer.

Grand Rapids, MI – (September 24, 2007) Wolverine Building Inc. has been selected to serve as general contractor for a new design/build medical office planned for construction in Grand Rapids Township at 2911 Knapp.

The Knapp Professional Building is located on the edge of “Celadon New Town,” a 22-acre mixed-use natural environment development. The design/build medical office blends the architecture of modern and traditional features to create a timeless facility.

According to Dulane Coval, Project Manager for Wolverine Building Inc., “The 10,000 square foot two-story conventional steel office building has a Midwestern early 1900’s era design which blends into its unique wetland setting. The building envelope uses many natural materials; a mixture of applied stone veneer, wood beams, standing seam roof and other period finishes. The idea is to have a traditional environmentally friendly neighborhood on the original agricultural site.”

“Our patients and employees are excited about the convenient Knapp’s Corner location. The new facility is situated in a high growth area, which is easy to find and provides plenty of parking.” said Dr. Kyle Randall, of Michigan Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine P.C.

One of the three tenant spaces are spoken for and include Michigan Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine P.C.

The office building is slated to open in the spring of 2008. The Knapp Professional’s invite you to celebrate the construction of their new facility on Friday September 28th at 1pm with a groundbreaking ceremony.
