D.C. Byers Company/Grand Rapids, Inc.

The Fitzgerald Condos consist of 39 stylish and unique condominiums.  Each condo unit ranges from 900 sf up to 3,800 sf.  The existing building is a concrete and steel-frame structure with masonry veneer and original limestone embellishments, detailed cornice work, and historically accurate double-insulated Palladian windows. The interior finishes consist of a wood-paneled lobby, luxurious library, deluxe lounge with kitchen and dining areas, state-of-the-art fitness center, secure in-building parking, and a gorgeous, park-like garden area on the roof complete with benches, scenic walkways, fountain, gas grills, and a custom-made spa to truly elevate the concept of outdoor living.

D.C. Byers Company/Grand Rapids, Inc. repaired and cleaned the exterior masonry (brick, limestone and terra cotta).

This new property is the old Union High School, more recently known as West Middle School, and has undergone a swift and amazing transformation.  The Union Square property is historically significant to many people.  It was Grand Rapids’ main high school from 1875 to 1968 and this history will remain part of it’s charm.  Reminders will include the original double banister stairways, 12 to 21 foot ceilings, hardwood maple flooring, and 12-inch oak windowsills.  Genuine slate chalkboards, fire drill instructions, trophy cases, school furniture, and some of the old light fixtures will help reinforce the school motif throughout the public areas of the building, and even in some condominiums. 

D.C. Byers Company/Grand Rapids, Inc. cleaned, re-pointed and replaced brick at Union Square.
