Some homes are built for a season. Others are built for generations. This Lake Charlevoix cottage is well on its way.

Our proudest work happens on-site, bringing our clients' dream homes to life. But it all starts here at our headquarters off East Beltline.

While you've probably seen our Whitmore Custom Homes branded fleet out in the community, there’s nothing quite like having the entire team back at HQ for a chance to huddle, collaborate, and sharpen our skills.

Communication, teamwork, and meticulous organization are the keys to delivering a top-tier design & build experience. Seeing our fleet lined up is a reminder of the dedicated team work we put in for our clients—on-site and behind the scenes.

We're excited to be sharing a new chapter for Whitmore Homes, and for a beloved East Grand Rapids property!

Whitmore Homes has purchased the Blodgett Estate (also known as Brookby) to help transition this incredible property into a new era. Thank you to Crain's Grand Rapids Business for this profile of the transaction, and for helping share our vision of a new era for the spectacular and historical estate.

One of the unique aspects of this project is that multiple of our company leaders are direct neighbors of this property - this means that a tasteful and community-friendly future for the property is of the utmost importance for us - personally and professionally!

For a few highlights of the article and our plans:

1. The existing mansion is in excellent shape, thanks to very thoughtful care over the years by Aquinas College and prior owners.
2. We are planning on preserving the mansion and are actively seeking a new buyer to make it their home.
3. We intend that the mansion will be used as a private residence, in alignment with the current allowed use/zoning.
4. We'll be creating 4 new buildable lots with the remainder of the property - ranging from half-acre to 1.5 acre+ parcels. These parcels will be sold individually to buyers interested in building a custom home with us!

We've already received some fantastic feedback and some great questions about this amazing property.

If you're interested in learning more about the property and opportunities to be part of this new era for Brookby, we'd love to hear from you!

Building a luxury custom home is complex, and complexity usually comes with uncertainty. At Whitmore Homes, we believe that the homebuilding journey is a partnership between builder and client, where risk shouldn't all fall on the shoulders of the homeowner.

Through our Fixed-Price process, we’ve refined the art of balancing high-end customization with predictability and peace of mind. We don't just "guess" at your budget and schedule; we master both by:

🔒 Locking costs up front: We use detailed bid specifications based on an extensive understanding of your unique project scope.

🗓 Structured scheduling: Our talented team utilizes advanced project management software to keep your build on a precise timeline.

⚖ Balanced risk distribution: Our collaborative design-build process ensures that the heavy lifting stays on our shoulders, not yours.

If you're considering a new build or renovation project, contact us today to experience a luxury build defined by true partnership, not financial stress. 🏡✨
