Attorneys argue over blame for 2013 Plaza Towers flood

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — For two weeks in April 2013, Grand Rapids suffered what was the worst flood in modern history. Several riverfront properties downtown, including the Plaza Towers building, found their basements filled with water.

The flood in that building is now at the center of a civil lawsuit claiming $17 million in damages.

Plaza Towers is one of the city’s most exclusive apartment addresses, with rents carrying price tags of about $2,000 a month. When the Grand River filled its garage and basement, tenants were told to leave as the city temporarily condemned the place.
