The brick facade of 70 Ionia catches light differently depending on the hour—old bones, thoroughly renovated, sitting in the Entertainment District where Grand Rapids' downtown pulse is loudest. Step outside and you're surrounded by choice: restaurants within steps (444 of them within a mile), coffee shops and bars close enough that you don't need to think about the walk, transit stops at your doorway. The building itself spans 61,839 square feet of Class A office and retail space, completed in 1916 and completely overhauled over the last 15 years. Homes here run around $9.1 million. Downtown is 1.2 minutes away by car. Gerald R. Ford Airport sits 22 minutes out.
