An East Lansing development group unveiled a plan Tuesday to add housing and retail space that officials hope will attract MSU graduates to downtown Lansing.
Pat Gillespie, president of the Gillespie Group, announced plans for a more than $50 million project including eight retail and residential buildings north of Oldsmobile Park and along the Grand River Avenue.
The project is a combination of two developments – Ballpark North, a pair of six-story buildings overlooking the Oldsmobile Park outfield, and Market Place, a group of six residential and retail buildings.
“Upon completion of Market Place and Ballpark North, downtown Lansing will have created an entertainment district that will rival other thriving Midwestern cities,” Gillespie said.
