Grand Vista Place will be built just south of Lenawee Street, and will provide 55 more affordable housing units to those in need. Lansing Mayor Andy Schor says it’s all about address an ongoing housing crisis in Michigan.
“It’s exciting that we’re able to add this capacity, to add these units,” Schor said. “We know there are waitlist who want to get into the Lansing House Commission, who want to get into this incredibly important affordable housing.”
Work on both developments is set to begin in late-March, with people being able to rent mid-2026.
