Founded by Austin Kettlewell, Aera Building Company was born from both humble beginnings and bold aspirations. Growing up in a small farm town, Austin learned the value of hard work, swinging hammers before he could drive. But his vision was always bigger.

From leading large-scale commercial projects to creating boutique urban communities in Grand Rapids, Austin has carried that same grit and creativity into every stage of his career.

Aera’s philosophy is simple: we don’t just build, we create. With creativity at the forefront and craftsmanship at the core, Aera helps clients step into a new era of living.
