: Unfortunately, the owners of Meadow View
: Village Mobile Home Park plan to redevelop
: the property. Robert and John Tol of Grand
: Rapids want to clear the mobile home park at
: 3400 Stadium Drive, behind Wayside West, and
: build three high-rise apartment buildings.
: The 360 units will be designed for students.
: If they go ahead as planned, I expect there

: I wonder if this is a wise time to build

: There was a student housing construction
: boom about 2000-2003 coinciding with
: all-time record enrollments that peaked at
: 29,732 in fall 2002. Enrollment last year
: (2005-06) was 26,239 and is expected to be
: lower this year. As a result, there is a
: glut of student housing on the west side of
: Kalamazoo.

: There has been a lot of development lately
: in that immediate area of Stadium Drive.
: Griffin Pest Solutions recently broke ground
: on a new headquarters at 2700 Stadium Drive.
