McKay Tower, High-rise building in downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan.

McKay Tower rises 259 feet with 18 floors, incorporating retail spaces, offices, apartments, and event venues across 146,000 square feet of floor area.

The location marks the site of Grand Rapids' first non-Native American marriage in 1834, before the current structure was completed in 1927.

The building represents the evolution of Grand Rapids' commercial growth, serving as the city's primary banking center through the Grand Rapids National Bank.

The tower contains multiple dining options, including Biggby Coffee, Kilwins, and Sushi Yama, with direct access to Monroe Center's shopping district.

Two Native American tribes, the Match-e-be-nash-she-wish Band and Huron Band of Potawatomi, acquired the property for 17.5 million dollars in 2020.

Inception: 1927

Floors above the ground: 18

GPS coordinates: 42.96620,-85.67140
