I was discussing this article with a client yesterday and was reminded what a great feature this was on Wayne Visbeen.

Also, for your interest, I attached the sketch and photo of Wayne drawing in Costa Rica with Miro which was described in the article. Curious? Read on!

Visbeen Associates and BDR are excited to announce that the Butterball Farms lot split received city approval. The home shown at the top (designed by Visbeen Associates) is a concept for this parcel and is being sold by Robert Antonini. Are you interested in a prime 9/10 acre East Grand Rapids site?

East 8th Street, Holland, MI



Visbeen Associates has redesigned 60 & 62 East 8th Street in Holland, MI to accommodate a new Kilwin's store and a new Tip Toes store. Bouwkamp Builders is reconstructing both of the spaces. Above the storefront level are two floors with two apartments each. Look for these beautiful new stores to open later this year!
