HOLLAND (WHTC-AM/FM) — Holland’s Sixth Street will be completely closed to through traffic between Central and River avenues from 3 a.m. until 6 p.m. on Tuesday, January 4, 2022.
This will allow for access to a cement pumper truck to do a large concrete pour at 159 River Ave., and keep workers safe.
Drivers will be directed to detours using Fourth or Third streets. The work is weather-dependent and may have to be rescheduled.
The 30,710-square-foot property, one-time R.E. Barber, Inc. Ford dealership site, went on to be Holland Rescue Mission’s youth center, before the mission sold the property for $735,000 to DOT Studio, which in turn sold on May 1, 2018, to 159 River LLC for $850,000, which listed the property for $1.5 million and sold for just under $1.4 million to Dennis and Gail Jacobs on Sept. 30, 2019, according to public records. The Jacobs transferred property ownership to Towers on River on Sept. 17, 2020.
Initially the target in 2017-18 for 72-affordable housing units, it is now destined to be a 27-unit luxury condominium development, with first-floor retail space and second-floor offices.
Jacobs is the developer of the project, along with Third Coast Capital Group LLC, JCM Development LLC and 159 South River LLC. Construction is expcected to wrap later this year.
Jacobs’ company is partners in this project with Midwest Construction Group, Inc.; Geerlings Development; Kent Companies; All State Crane & Rigging; Construction Specialties, Inc.; and Trigon Steel Components, according to the Towers on River website.
Midwest Built is set to do Tuesday’s planned concrete pour and is responsible for setting up and maintaining all barricades, signs and warning devices to assure public safety, according to the city’s announcement.
