Lansing is moving to repurpose its downtown city hall, fulfilling a longstanding commitment to convert the aging building into a hotel.
The Lansing City Council voted unanimously Monday night to sell the facility at 124 W. Michigan Ave. for nearly $2.8 million. Chicago-based developer J. Paul Beitler is purchasing the building undera proposal to create around 180 hotel rooms along with a restaurant and retail space.
Officials have said the project would increase the city’s tax revenue and further development downtown. Hundreds of new apartments and a performing arts venue are set to be constructed nearby.
