GEERLINGS DEVELOPMENT

COMMERCIAL, INDUSTRIAL & RETAIL PROPERTIES

For over 20 years Geerlings Development, under the leadership of founder and president Scott Geerlings, has been developing commercial, industrial, and retail properties in the West Michigan area. After $350 million in successful commercial, industrial, retail development, and residential projects, both multifamily and single family housing, Scott Geerlings and the Midwest Team recognized a need for providing comprehensive and customized solutions for aspiring and experienced developers alike. Geerlings Development teamed up with Midwest Construction Group to leverage their knowledge, experience, and resources to facilitate and complete developments that inspire owners and positively impact communities. They educate owners and investors to understand the challenges and benefits of modern-day commercial and residential real estate development.

For clients looking to invest in commercial real estate, Geerlings Development can help acquire property, perform feasibility studies, help secure tenants, and through Midwest Construction fully manage and build a turn key property. We have worked with both local businesses and national franchises and can offer all services needed for negotiation to grand opening regardless of the size and complexity. Geerlings Development also currently owns multiple ready-to-build sites in the greater West Michigan area and will build to suit for lease tenants and new owners.
