According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grbj.com\/articles\/77320-franklin-partners-and-colliers-team-up-again\" rel=\"nofollow\"><em>Grand Rapids Business Journal<\/em><\/a>, Chicago-based investors Franklin Partners acquired the building in May last year in a $13.5 million deal that was brokered by Colliers International. In an effort to follow the market\u2019s demand at the time, the new owners later went on to divide the mega-structure into two facilities, offering 100,000 square feet of Class A office space in one building and 200,000 square feet of industrial space in the other.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cGrand Rapids is a vibrant community and urban center of a growing region of more than 1 million people,\u201d Kellogg President and CEO John Bryant said in a press statement. \u201cAs Michigan\u2019s second-largest city, and a short distance from our headquarters, Grand Rapids is known for its proximity to major markets\u2014including Chicago and Detroit\u2014as well as affordable commercial space and a highly qualified workforce,\u201d Bryant added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlive.com\/business\/west-michigan\/index.ssf\/2014\/02\/kellogg_moving_to_grand_rapids.html\" rel=\"nofollow\"><em>MLive.com<\/em><\/a> says Kellogg currently has two baking facilities in the Grand Rapids area: one is located at 310 28<sup>th<\/sup> Street Southeast and produces \u201cPop Tart\u201d and \u201cSpecial K\u201d bars, and the other facility is located at 5353 Broadmoor Avenue Southeast and produces snack bars.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Kellogg, which has over 2,000 employees in Battle Creek, is expected to add 300 to 600 new hires in Grand Rapids\u2014with roles varying from finance and information technology to supply chain and human resources\u2014where it will fully occupy Franklin Partners\u2019 100,000-square-foot office building. According to an official statement from the company, the new regional service center is expected to open in the third quarter of 2014 when around 50 finance employees will relocate from the Battle Creek offices.
