We were excited to join Detroit Country Day School for the groundbreaking of the reimagined Shaw Stadium! This milestone kicks off a dynamic transformation — upgrading the turf, track, scoreboard, lighting and landscaping, while improving accessibility and expanding seating from 800 to 1,200.

As the “front porch” and heart of campus, Shaw Stadium is being designed to welcome every scholar athlete and visitor with an elevated, inclusive experience.

June is , a time to celebrate the spaces that bring us together.

Public outdoor environments are more than places we pass through; they’re where community happens. Parks, trails and other shared spaces shape how we connect, recharge and experience where we live.

It’s not just about what we build, but how those spaces live alongside their surroundings — how they invite people in, reflect the character of a community and create lasting value for everyone.

A defining turning point was celebrated onsite at the Amway Stadium today as we marked the official topping out, an important step forward in the project’s overall progress.

Topping out marks the structure reaching its full height and the vision taking shape, built through coordinated lifts, precise welds and critical decisions. The milestone was celebrated with a beam signing ceremony, where names were added to steel that represents the progress to date and the crews, partners and team who made it possible, including AECOM Hunt, Amway, Progressive Companies, Grand Action 2.0, ACGRSoccer and many others.

With the structure now standing, the project enters its next phase, building on this momentum as we continue transforming the site into a fully realized stadium for Grand Rapids.

Progress continues on Amway Stadium in Grand Rapids, where workers on Friday placed the final structural steel beam.

Big things are continuing to happen on Grand Rapids’ West Side!

Rockford will be converting an office-to-apartment just off Bridge Street, bringing new residential energy to the neighborhood. This project reflects our continued commitment to revitalizing underutilized spaces and creating vibrant, mixed-use neighborhoods where people can live, work and connect.

More housing. Smarter reuse. Stronger community.

The apartment units at 614 First St. NW will be located next to Wintrust's future flagship Grand Rapids office.

Our team is owning their craft in a bold, creative way through the Jim Tol Memorial Big Daddy Duck Race! This year’s Disney theme brought out big creativity — we’re proud to represent our Rockford team with our Toy Story–inspired Buzz and Woody ducks.

The race takes place June 6 at 5 PM at the dam in downtown Rockford, where thousands of rubber ducks race to the finish line in support of the Rotary Club of Rockford Michigan's community projects.

From now until May 25, vote up to 5 times per day per email for your favorites. And join us for the fun later in June as we cheer on our ducks.

This weekend, we were honored to attend the CCorewell Health Foundation West MichiganGala in support of Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital.

Hearing from survivors like Thor, who emceed the evening, was truly inspiring. Thor’s energy, bravery and story were a powerful reminder of the incredible impact of pediatric care in our community. The night was filled with laughter, meaningful stories from courageous kids and a shared sense of hope for the future of children’s healthcare.

We were proud to attend alongside our valued partner, Quantum Construction, and celebrate the strength and impact of patients, families and caregivers across West Michigan and beyond.

From the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel, where we renovated 110,000+ sq. ft. of curtainwall to enhance its signature tower, to a modern, mass timber gateway building on the Ada campus — these projects highlight how we can honor history while elevating experiences and helping landmark spaces evolve for the future.

Each effort reflects our commitment to balancing innovation with respect for context, whether we’re revitalizing an iconic landmark or creating a forward-looking space rooted in sustainability and user experience. By blending craftsmanship, advanced materials and a deep understanding of place, we help ensure these environments not only stand the test of time but continue to inspire those who use them every day.
