Although the three main redevelopment projects in West Village won’t be completed for several months, developers are already looking into adding another project in the region.

City officials and East Lansing-based development firm Abood Properties Inc. launched a 24-month enterprise earlier this month to research the possibility of constructing an additional residential building in West Village, near Grand River Avenue and Abbott Road.

“Given all this residential development, (the Valley Court Community Center) is an underutilized property now,” said Tim Dempsey, East Lansing’s community and economic development administrator. “So we’ve been in discussions with the developer and entered this predevelopment agreement to explore the feasibility of building another type of residential project there.”
