Front and Union sits on the most prominent corner of downtown Traverse City at 100 E Front Street, Traverse City, MI.

Each flat is perched above the activity of downtown Traverse City on either the 2nd or 3rd floor. The corner units, Flat 201 and Flat 301 have views of West Bay down Union Street. The other flats have views of Front Street or Union Street. Each flat comes with its own free parking space on site.

Each flat functions as its own living space and includes a fully equipped modern kitchen. We are proud to offer plush beds adorned with soft linens locally sourced from the Traverse City based business, eelo. More information on eelo can be found by searching "eelo Traverse City." The flats are fully furnished by Blu Dot. All down-to-earth yet wildly creative and comfortable. The feeling is eclectic.

West Bay beach, the TART trail, the marina and open space are one block away. There is no better location for immersing yourself in all the seasonal events Traverse City has to offer. We invite you to visit us on our website for more information on the experience and the history of the building.

The Flats at Front + Union are located within the historic Masonic Building, built in 1890 and repurposed into a multi use building in 2023 by two local Traverse City families. Working with local Traverse City architects and contractors, we have gone to great lengths to preserve and display the historic brick and architecture within the building. As an added bonus, scattered throughout the building are some of the most unique businesses in Northern Michigan.

We are happy to host celebrations and special events. However, we are unable to host parties or large gatherings. Out of respect for all of those that use the building, quiet hours are from 10pm to 7am.

Perfect!
The Flats are ideally located in the heart of downtown and a quick walk to the water. The unit we stayed in was spotless and beautifully decorated in a minimal but comfortable way. Towels are plentiful, all the dishes and silverware match, the rooms are spacious and full of light—nothing is missing. We will definitely return!

Great spot
The Flats are at a great location in TC. Fantastically appointed and easy to work with. Only downside is some street noise at night. Use some white noise, and it is fine.

Host profile image
The Masonic Building was built in 1890 by the Freemasonry. Current ownership is a partnership between two long time local families, the Featherstone and Vander Roests. We are only the second family to own this historic building. The character of the building, built in 1890 had been covered up with drywall and carpeting. Front + Union began repurposing the building as a multi-use building in January 2023. This was completed in June 2023. All of the character of century old brick was uncovered wherever possible in the hallways and rooms. Front + Union has 6 luxury rentals that are located in the heart of downtown Traverse City. Everything downtown is only a few minutes away. Intermixed in the building are some of the most unique businesses in Northern Michigan. Our families are very excited to share the building and its history with you
