Downtown Kalamazoo – Where History, Culture, and Excitement Come Together

Downtown excitement is reaching a whole new level with the $515 million Kalamazoo Event Center, a state-of-the-art, 453,000-square-foot arena. The Event Center will host sports, concerts, conventions, and community events, seating up to 6,500 for sporting events and 8,000 for concerts, with practice courts, a full ice rink, and 20,000 square feet of flat-floor event space. Residents at Lofts at Ironworks will be just steps from this major new destination, adding even more energy and entertainment to downtown living. Sports fans will love the year-round action from Kalamazoo College to Western Michigan University events and Kalamazoo Wings hockey at the new Kalamazoo Event Center, and Kalamazoo Growlers baseball team.

Residents can enjoy performances at Arcadia Creek Festival Place, the Civic Theatre, or Miller Auditorium at Western Michigan University. Add in food trucks, the Farmers’ Market with more than 100 vendors, and one of the best public libraries in the region, and downtown life is full of variety and convenience. Quality healthcare is nearby at Borgess or Bronson Hospital, both located right downtown.

There is so much to do in downtown Kalamazoo. From live music and local art to community gatherings and great restaurants, the city has something for everyone no matter the season. Living downtown also puts you just steps away from favorite spots like Bell’s Brewery, the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts, and Bronson Park, as well as events like the monthly Art Hop.

With easy access to restaurants, shops, entertainment venues, cultural attractions, and now the new downtown Kalamazoo Event Center, Lofts at Ironworks puts everything you love about Kalamazoo right at your doorstep.
