$22.5 Million Capitol Towers Still Rising in Downtown Lansing

The $22.5 million luxury condo development on Grand Avenue in Lansing continues getting bigger.

Capitol Towers developers, Shawn Elliott and Allen Drouare, have added six more stories to what was initially to be a 12-story development.

“It really comes from the demand and the incentives for living Downtown,” Drouare says.

Drouare and Elliott have been successfully shopping their proposal, which will include retail space, a dry cleaner, a coffee shop and a fitness center, to investors. More than 300 business leaders showed up to their first investor presentation.

“The combination of the amenities and the increasing benefits of living Downtown has really increased the demand for the project,” he says.

The Downtown certainly has seen a surge in developments over the last year. A new nightclub and new bars and restaurants have made living in Downtown Lansing more appealing for many prospective renters and buyers.

The building site is also located in a Renaissance Zone, which means residents won’t have to pay property tax or state and local income taxes for 15 years.

Drouare says they plan to break ground on the project this fall, but are already taking condo reservations.
