Arcadia Ales Formalizes $5.4 Million Expansion Plan

ENMAR LLC, on behalf of Suprise, on Thursday will ask the city’s Brownfield Redevelopment Authority to consider a purchase and redevelopment agreement for the BRA-owned property. ENMAR plans to buy the 2.6-acre parcel near the Kalamazoo River on downtown’s east end for $5,000 to redevelop and lease it to Arcadia Ales.

Plans include a $5.4 million investment to redevelop the site for mixed uses, including a 30,000 square-foot facility with a 4,500-square-foot brewpub, a 1,500-square-foot office area, a 24,000-square-foot beer production area and a parking lot with 75 or more spaces.
