Tommy’s Boats Starts Construction on New Grand Rapids Location

Tommy’s Boats, the largest Malibu and Axis dealer globally, started construction on its newest location in Comstock Park, Michigan. The leaders of Tommy’s Boats, Plainfield Township, Orion Construction and members of the community gathered at a ceremony to celebrate the groundbreaking in April.

“We’re excited to start the construction of our new facility,” says Mason Koffman, CEO, Tommy’s Boats. “While we have locations all across the country, Tommy’s Boats has a long history of serving the boating community, and we can’t wait to continue our tradition of providing the best products and services to families in the Midwest.”

Founded in 1981 in Denver, Colorado, Tommy’s Boats offers sales and service of a wide array of boats, as well as a full retail shop offering parts and an extensive line of water sports gear and accessories. 

Orion Construction out of Grand Rapids is building the new facility, which will include a showroom floor, sales offices and a 12-bay full-service department, with a major new feature being a new custom boat storage tower surrounded by windows.

“Orion Construction is proud to partner with Tommy’s Boats to bring this new, state-of-the-art facility to West Michigan,” adds Roger Rehkopf, CEO of Orion Construction. “Tommy’s is a leader in this space, and we’re honored to call them as a long-term client.”

Architects for the project are Henrickson Architecture of Belmont, Michigan, and site engineering was designed and led by Paradigm Design’s Grand Rapids office. 

“Tommy’s Boats has been an integral part of our business community, shining a light on Comstock Park,” said Plainfield Township Supervisor Tom Coleman during the groundbreaking. “We recognize the construction is a major investment and demonstrates a significant commitment to Comstock Park and we’re happy they will continue to call it home.”

The new facility is scheduled to be completed in Fall of 2022. To learn more, visit tommysgrandrapids.com.
