Sidock Group, Inc. plans to break ground this fall on its new $2.1 million building at the corner of Third and Western in downtown Muskegon. The 16,000-square-foot, two-story building will provide office, retail, and restaurant space in an area of Muskegon that is experiencing a dynamic resurgence in construction and economic development.
“The new building will nearly double our space,” says Bill Sidock, owner. The company is currently in a building they renovated and redesigned at 888 Terrace Street. “The first floor will be either restaurant or retail,” he says, “and will have space for us to expand.”
“Everything built in the downtown needs to have some historical reference with a lot of masonry,” says Don Spezia, senior project architect. “The facade will be mostly brick, some stone, some glass, with awnings over the first floor windows.”
Spezia says the atrium lobby will have soaring space open to a skylight roof. Sidock Group, which is doing the design of the building, will occupy the 8,000-square-foot second floor. The project is expected to be completed by summer 2008. .
