Westown at Wilson
Apartment Homes

Westown at Wilson Apartment Homes is a Class A apartment home community in Walker, Michigan, completed in 2020. The property features 199 one- and two-bedroom luxury apartment homes with attached garages.

Cherette Group led the project from early-stage site assembly through design, financing, construction, and lease-up. The work began with the consolidation of multiple parcels and the resolution of title, easement, and environmental matters, setting the foundation for a coordinated development process. From there, Cherette Group oversaw site design and engineering, market research, architecture and amenity planning, financing, construction, and leasing, with ongoing management provided by Cherette Property Management.

The Outcome

The community is positioned in a walkable area with convenient access to local shopping and dining, as well as direct connections to downtown Grand Rapids, Grand Valley State University, and RiverTown Crossings. Residents also benefit from proximity to Lake Michigan and the surrounding lakeshore communities.

Residences were designed with a focus on livability and quality, featuring entertainment kitchens, upscale fixtures, walk-in showers, in-unit technology panels, secure access, private decks or patios, and full-size laundry rooms.

Community amenities center around a clubhouse with a resort-style pool, spa, and sundeck, along with a fitness center, gathering and business spaces, and a private dog park with a dog-wash room.

In addition to the apartment community, the broader development included commercial outlots along Wilson Avenue, which are now occupied by national and regional tenants including Starbucks, Chick-fil-A, Flagstar Bank, and a dental office.
