We are a collective of small businesses in Midtown, Midland, MI. Our mission is to help our community to pause, connect, create & grow. So take a break from the hustle and bustle of the daily grind and grab a cup of coffee from Live Oak, relax, and exhale with a pedicure at Breathe. Then, do some retail therapy at the adorable boutique, Botanica.

We are obsessed with helping Dreamers dream, Creators create, and Makers make. Home to Blue Light Nights, Parker Lane Design Studio, Live Oak Coffeehouse & Roastery, and many art & photography studios, we are passionate about drawing out the best in you & cheering you on as you discover & develop your talents. We believe everyone is creative and made for a unique purpose; we desire to help you uncover & cultivate your abilities.

We have a special place in our hearts for the recovering, the lonely, and our friends who need a fresh start and a place to belong. The Ashman Collective Consulting group & By Design Co. is gifted at walking alongside you and holding your hand as you take steps to bring your dream to life.

We love the joy & energy the Swing Dancers and Young Life groups bring to the Plaza. Little Midland kids keep their enthusiasm and child-like dreams alive as they make-believe in a miniature city created just for them.

So join us; we can’t wait to help you relax, laugh, play & create. Let’s be dreamers & doers together.


Stop by and see us at 713 Ashman Street, Midland, MI 48640.
