ONE OF GRAND RAPIDS' MOST HISTORIC BUILDINGS
40 Pearl St NW
Grand Rapids, MI 49503
The Trust Building at 40 Pearl puts your business at the center of downtown Grand Rapids, with historic architecture, frontage on Pearl and Ottawa, and views of the city. Retail, banks, the courthouses and museums are all a short walk away.
Completed in 1892, the Michigan Trust Building is one of the most iconic structures in Grand Rapids. Renowned architect Solon S. Beman, designer of many of Chicago's landmarks, considered it one of his major works. For generations it was the city's most prestigious office address, and it has been the site of many important moments in Grand Rapids history: Theodore Roosevelt gave a campaign speech here in 1900, and Gerald R. Ford began his law career on the fourth floor. CWD has restored 40 Pearl so its best years are still ahead, and its architecture, on-site amenities and flexible floor plans are as ready for your business today as they were more than a century ago.
The building's next chapter is already underway. CWD and the team behind The Vault Hotel in Houghton are turning four and a half floors into The Vault Hotel – Grand Rapids: 63 guest rooms with a fitness and wellness spa, a cocktail bar and an event venue, set to open in 2028. The Trust Building stays mixed-use, giving office tenants a landmark address with a boutique hotel under the same roof.
Join businesses like Norris Perne & French and Terra Bagels at one of the city's premier addresses.
