GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. — Grand Valley Medical Specialists (GVMS) has signed a 14,180-square-foot lease to open a medical practice in Grand Rapids. The property, which will accommodate more physicians and patients than the former 10,363-square-foot location on Wealthy Street, is located at 1000 E. Paris Avenue Southeast. GVMS currently employs 15 doctors and five advanced practice providers. GVMS provides primary patient care to the whole family, from infants to adults, through its pediatric, family and internal medicine practices. Although GVMS began seeing patients at the East Paris location on July 18, renovations to the interior of the building are underway, including upgrades to the common areas and restrooms, as well as a remodeling of the lobby. MB Real Estate-health care, the lessor, is managing the renovation project. Mary Anne Wisinski-Rosely and Jason Makowski of NAI Wisinski of West Michigan negotiated the lease transaction.
