This thread is for developments in the Kalamazoo-Battle Creek-Portage area. It will primarily focus on larger projects within these three principal cities, including both buildings and major infrastructure work. But smaller developments within these cities and nearby (within Kalamazoo & Calhoun Counties) may also be included.

The 2020 US Census Data puts the CSA population estimate for the region at about 502,000, making it the fourth largest CSA in Michigan (after Detroit, Grand Rapids, and Lansing) and ranking it among the 100 largest CSA's in the country. The municipalities highlighted below are organized by population and are arranged from largest to smallest (2020 US CB Data unless noted otherwise). Note that this thread coverage doesn't quite align with the CSA definition. For other developments in West Michigan, refer to
