The Latest on One Water Street

You may have noticed things are really starting to take shape at One Water Street downtown Boyne City. What could be called one of the biggest construction projects the town has seen in years is nearing phase I completion and the future couldn’t look better for developer Glen Catt.

“I can’t go anywhere without someone asking me ‘what’s going on in Boyne City’!” says Catt.

What’s going on indeed; work on the multi-million dollar project has been progressing steadily during the last few months. But this isn’t Catt’s first venture into commercial development. If the name sounds familiar to you it should. In 1959 Catt’s grandfather started what would become a chain of supermarkets throughout northern Michigan known to locals simply as Glen’s. And according to the company’s website the Gaylord based company has expanded and diversified to include a variety of commercial endeavors.

Catt says there were a few other waterfront projects being considered before they eventually settled on the One Water Street property.

“We chose the One Water Street project because the price made it feasible, it was on Lake Charlevoix, and it was in downtown Boyne City,” Catt says. “I liked the proximity to a world class resort like Boyne Mountain, which makes Boyne City less seasonal than most northern Michigan communities.”

In other words; location, location, location!
