Rich & Associates, as consultants to Progressive Companies, is currently providing parking consulting, architectural, and structural engineering design services for a new multi-level parking garage supporting the Acrisure Amphitheater, now under construction in downtown Grand Rapids. This state-of-the-art outdoor performance venue will host national touring acts and local performers, and will be owned and operated by the Grand Rapids–Kent County Convention/Arena Authority.

The amphitheater will offer a variety of seating options—including upper and lower concourses, fixed and lawn seating, private suites, a terrace, and a VIP pavilion—and will be integrated into a vibrant setting featuring dining and retail establishments with outdoor seating along the Market Avenue Plaza.

To support both event traffic and planned mixed-use residential development in the area, the parking garage will be constructed in two phases and will ultimately accommodate up to 900 vehicles. The design includes a ground-level semi-truck loading dock and a dedicated bus staging area to meet the operational demands of the amphitheater.

Rich & Associates’ involvement ensures the structure will not only serve immediate parking needs but also align with the long-term urban vision for downtown Grand Rapids.
