Additional Property Attributes

Former Use: The property was originally developed as a General Motors assembly plant in 1965. GM continued operations on site until 1999. Beginning in 2004, the property has been being redeveloped for use as an industrial business park.

The site is an approximate 340-acre business park which has resulted from the transformation of the former automotive manufacturing plant owned and operated by General Motors North American Operations Metal Fabricating Division (General Motors). In 1965, General Motors first developed the property with the construction of a 1,896,906 square foot manufacturing building and associated powerhouse, baler house, wastewater treatment plant, switch house, and pump house. There was also a two story administration building attached to the north end of the manufacturing building. Major operations included receiving and cutting metal in sheets and roll stock, stamping, grinding, welding, assembly of component parts, tool and die manufacturing, application of adhesive coatings, wastewater treatment, management of wastes, and material storage.

General Motors operated the site until July 1999. The property was subsequently purchased by 5200 East Cork Street Investors, LLC, which has extensively renovated the site by demolishing portions of the building, removing parking surfaces, installing loading docks, and completing many other improvements to the manufacturing building. These improvements made the main building accessible and functional for various industrial tenants. Public roads have been constructed, utilities installed, and lands re graded to make the remaining acreage ready for development.

The current phase of the redevelopment includes constructing a 165,000 square foot speculative warehouse/light manufacturing building on approximately 14 acres of undeveloped land and a 103,000 square-foot warehouse/light manufacturing building on approximately 16.72 acres of undeveloped land in the Midlink Business Park. A Brownfield Plan for the subject property is already in place, approved by the Kalamazoo County Board of Commissioners on September 2, 2008, and required an amendment to declare the site as an Economic Opportunity Zone, which allows for more eligible activities including infrastructure improvements and site preparation activities. The amendment also added additional eligible activities and costs related to the new expansion(s). The Brownfield Plan Amendment was adopted by the County Board of Commissioners on November 21, 2023.
