About this Location

Facility Overview

Corewell Health Place Visitor Parking (also designated as Parking Ramp 2) is a premier multi-level parking deck located at 706 Bond Ave NW in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Situated directly within the vibrant Monroe North neighborhood, this modern precast concrete parking garage serves the corporate headquarters campus of Corewell Health (Corewell Health Place / Center for Transformation). The deck is thoughtfully integrated with the headquarters complex via a protected, climate-controlled pedestrian skybridge on Level 2, allowing direct and seamless access into the office towers, event pavilion, and administrative suites. Designed to handle steady corporate and healthcare traffic, the facility accommodates standard passenger vehicles, compact cars, crossover SUVs, and full-size pickup trucks. Drivers of oversized vehicles, conversion vans, or lifted trucks should heed posted entrance overhead clearance warnings (typically standard multi-level garage clearance of approximately 7 feet, with designated higher-clearance accessible bays on the ground entry level). Headroom inside the structure is well-marked with clearance bars and directional overhead signage.

Visitor & Driver Tips

When arriving at 706 Bond Ave NW, follow the prominent roadside signage indicating Visitor Parking and CHP Ramp 2. If you are attending a specific meeting, event, or clinical consultation, carry your registration details or visitor pass, as gate validation or reception sign-in at the security desk via the second-floor skyway is customary. During morning arrival hours (7:30 AM to 9:00 AM) and evening departure periods (4:30 PM to 5:30 PM), anticipate minor localized traffic along Bond and Monroe avenues. Drivers of lifted commercial vehicles or roof-rack-equipped trucks should measure roof height against the entrance clearance bar prior to entry. For quick transit to lower downtown, consider leaving your vehicle parked and hopping aboard the free DASH North bus along Monroe Avenue.
