GRAND RAPIDS, MI — Longtime real estate developer and investor Scott Wierda has stepped down from his role as managing partner at CWD Real Estate Investment and launched his own firm, SW Real Estate Investment, in partnership with his son Spencer.
Wierda, who’s helped launch numerous retail developments in metro Grand Rapids, including Breton Village, Gaslight Village and Bucktown Shopping Center in Grandville, said he’s making the change because he wants to work with his son, who’s 28 and building his career in the business.
