“It's like a butterfly coming out of a cocoon. It's just really cool," developer Sam Cummings said Wednesday as crews removed panels from the exterior of 50 Monroe Ave. NW in downtown Grand Rapids.
Cummings is a managing partner at CWD Real Estate Investment, which bought 50 Monroe in 2012.
The address is actually three buildings, including a former refrigerator factory, that date back to the late 1800s. In the 1980s, the buildings were combined and encapsulated with panels bolted into the brick and slate.
