GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - Michimich -- Calder Capital is thrilled to announce the successful sale of Cella Building Company of Grand Rapids, Michigan, to Individual Entrepreneur Steve Achram of East Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Founded in 1996, Cella Building Company has built a strong reputation for high-performance design and construction within diverse, urban environments. Owners Mike Coyne and Peter Skornia engaged Calder's sell-side team to identify an acquirer aligned with the Company's commitment to sustainability, employee well-being, client satisfaction, and to offer Mike the ability to retire, while giving Peter the ability to remain a leader at the company.

Steve Achram, a licensed engineer with over 23 years of experience leading multidisciplinary teams across public and private sectors, brings deep operational and project management expertise to his new role.

Coyne commented, "It's been a privilege to contribute to the community through purpose-driven construction. I will remain a managing member of 730 Leonard Street Partners LLC and W&S Development Partners LLC, and I look forward to continuing those important projects."
