The new 30,000-square-foot headquarters will be located at 37 Ottawa Avenue Northwest.
“Being part of Grand Rapids’ ongoing growth is an exciting opportunity. Through this move, we’re grateful to partner with CWD, The Right Place, the City of Grand Rapids, and the MEDC,” said Josh Van Vels, President of OVD Insurance. “This relocation marks a significant milestone for OVD, reflecting our commitment to the next phase of our company’s evolution. This new location is more than just an office — it’s an investment in our culture, our people, and the future of OVD Insurance. We are in the people business,” Van Vels adds. “We have world-class people, and we’re committed to attracting and retaining top talent.”
The project is being supported by the Michigan Strategic Fund with a $1 million Michigan Business Development Program performance-based grant.
“We’re excited OVD Insurance has chosen to grow their headquarters in the heart of Grand Rapids,” noted Andria Romkema, Senior Vice President of Business Development at The Right Place, Inc. “OVD’s decision to locate their corporate HQ in the city will bring more energy to an already vibrant downtown and speaks to the region’s ability to attract the highly skilled talent our companies need to thrive.”
