Grand Haven Tribune: Planet Physical fitness proposed for Starlite Lanes

The bowling street at 1305 S. Beacon Blvd. in Grand Sanctuary will quickly be transformed into a Planet Fitness.Two new buildings

will be developed on the 3-acre site, which will house @Home Realty and Fit Body Boot Camp.Jake Hogeboom, founder of @Home Realty, presently found at 510 Miller Drive on Grand Haven’s north end, said the concept has remained in the works for about 4 months.”Planet Physical fitness is purchasing the existing bowling street,”he said.”They’ll repurpose

it into a World Fitness gym.”A 16,000-square-foot, two-story structure on the south home line will become the new house to Fit Body Bootcamp and a similar-sized two-story structure on the west side, between World Fitness and Fit Body Bootcamp, will house the genuine estate firm.”The present bowling street owner is searching for some area to do a smaller sized bowling street in the area,”Hogeboom stated.

“I’m not exactly sure if he’s identified an area. He’s taking all the equipment and is attempting to move it.” The SpartanNash Co. thought about buying the bowling street a few years ago, with the intent to relocate its D&W supermarket from Robbins Roadway, however that deal fell through.

“The bowling street has been for sale for a while now,” Hogeboom said.Hogeboom said the realty business he established five years ago has actually outgrown its current 8,500-square-foot space at Grand Landing.”Doubling our size will be excellent,”he said.All strategies rest upon approval from the City of

Grand Haven. Hogeboom stated the city’s Planning Commission is slated to examine the website strategy at its June meeting.” If it all gets authorized, then World Fitness will begin the remodel

of the bowling alley the first week of July, “he stated.”The two new buildings will take a bit longer to obtain going. We’ll most likely begin building and construction in August or September, with probably about an eight-month build process.”The goal is to have the construction’s rough-in completed prior to cold and snow struck so professionals can continue with interior work throughout the winter.”We’re also doing a brand-new structure in Holland today,”Hogeboom included.”From our viewpoint, we’re a real estate company, but we’re also what I prefer to call a culture company. “The brand-new @Home Real estate area will include a two-story slide and a game. “We’re truly just taking the entire client and representative experience to another level,”Hogeboom said.” We’re excited about it.

“World Physical fitness executives had actually been considering the Starlite Lanes area”for quite a while,” Hogeboom said, however the collaboration between the national physical fitness chain, the bowling street, @Home Realty and Fit Body Bootcamp is exactly what made the deal come together.”We’re all going to share in the parking, “Hogeboom stated.”I believe it’s a good mix of organisations. The building will be quite considerable– two stories

and modern-day looking with a great deal of glass. It will be a good revitalization of that location. “
