The port's board signed off on nearly $200 million in real estate- related bond transactions , setting the stage for construction to start within months on a trio of projects. The agency acts as a conduit for development financing, issuing bonds and helping to structure deals that involve longer terms , lower interest rates or cheaper construction materials than a borrower might find in the private market. Tuesday's headline deals were: A  Hyatt Place hotel and a 355- space parking garage at the Legacy Village shopping center in Lyndhurst.

By Sydney.Smith@hollandsentinel.com 616-546-4219 A Grand Rapids developer wants the city of Holland to establish an industrial district in order to receive tax abatements on a speculative development. Brian Sikma, owner and developer at East 64th, LLC, a real estate and development company, submitted his application to Holland on Aug. 3. City council during its Wednesday, Aug. 16, meeting will accept the application for study. Sikma explained that the district will allow the company to ask for an abatement for a speculative 300, 000 square foot industrial facility at 374 E. 64th St. A tax abatement reduces the amount of property taxes an owner would pay.

In his application, Sikma estimated a $9.1 million cost fo...
