Built on Heritage.
Designed for Tomorrow.
Reimagining How You Work, Create & Thrive
The Foundry is Kalamazoo's first Living Office® workspace — a 52,000 square foot creative incubator where industrial heritage meets modern design.
Uniquely situated in the River's Edge District on East Michigan Avenue, The Foundry challenges the conventional workspace. With exposed steel girders, clerestory windows flooding every corner with natural light, and artful meeting areas designed by Herman Miller, it's simply the most powerful working environment in Southwest Michigan.
Forged in Iron, Reborn in Light
Before it became one of Michigan's most innovative workspaces, this building served as a gray-iron foundry and steel fabrication facility — shaping the raw materials that built a region. Today, The Foundry pays homage to that industrial legacy with exposed structure, original steel beams, and a design philosophy that honors craftsmanship while embracing the future.
