MUSKEGON, Mich., May 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- While online discourse surrounds local politics, visionary entrepreneur Ryan Leestma is quietly crafting something far more enduring: a generational lakefront destination that's already catching the attention of A-list names and legacy builders nationwide.

Aerial view of Adelaide Pointe, Muskegon's premier lakefront development, showcasing the full-service marina, event space, and luxury condos in progress. This transformative $100 million waterfront destination is setting a new standard for lifestyle, tourism, and economic growth along the shores of Lake Michigan.

Backed by over $85 million in private capital and part of a broader $250 million master plan, Adelaide Pointe is quickly becoming one of the most ambitious marina and residential developments on the Great Lakes offering a rare convergence of elegance, privacy, scale, and permanence.

"You don't build something like this for trends you build it for legacy," says Leestma. "This is one of the final chances to secure lakefront property at this scale, and it's designed for those who think in terms of decades, not deals."

Located in a federally designated Opportunity Zone and anchored on a manmade peninsula surrounded by water, Adelaide Pointe is positioned as one of the largest waterfront developments in the state of Michigan and the state's largest Opportunity Zone project to date.

What sets it apart? Not only does it offer unmatched access to Lake Michigan via the largest inland deepwater harbor in the state perfect for super yacht access and Great Lakes navigation but it also features cutting-edge West Coast architecture and the first carbon-negative residential units in Michigan.

Project Highlights: - 454-slip world-class marina - Luxury condominiums and private waterfront residences - Yacht club, designer boardwalk, and elevated commercial village - Walkable, sustainable community design - Lake Michigan access for super yachts via Michigan's largest inland harbor Carbon-negative sustainable homes first of their kind in the state - Opportunity Zone designation offering long-term lifestyle and tax advantages.

Already, the buzz around Adelaide Pointe has extended far beyond Michigan piquing interest from Hollywood creatives, professional athletes, and elite investors looking for a secure, private legacy asset away from urban congestion and coastal instability.

"This isn't just real estate it's a statement," Leestma adds. "It's about vision, privacy, generational thinking, and building something that lasts."

With early residential phases underway and major infrastructure already in motion, Adelaide Pointe is poised to become the Midwest's most exclusive, future-forward marina lifestyle community.
