If you've ever passed the old Huff Elementary campus on Ball Avenue NE, there's a plan for it. Moxie Real Estate and Development wants to turn the 5.3-acre site at 2286 Ball Ave. NE into Flats at Huff Park, 72 apartments in three buildings across from the nearly 90-acre Huff Park. The Grand Rapids Brownfield Redevelopment Authority backed the $15.6 million project Wednesday.

Moxie is seeking a $5.7 million plan, Crain's Grand Rapids Business reports. It's taking over a project Wheeler Development abandoned after liens from the property's previous owner. The old school is slated for demolition, and its asbestos must be cleaned up. Construction is expected to start in spring 2027 and wrap in 2028.

  • Units: 54 one-bedrooms and 18 two-bedrooms in three buildings
  • Market-rate rent: $1,600 to $1,800 one-bedroom, $1,800 to $2,100 two
  • Income-restricted rent: about $1,422 one-bedroom, $1,664 two-bedroom
