Plans are emerging to move one of Downtown Lansing’s most popular upscale restaurants, Troppo, across the street. Owner Kris Elliott plans to move Troppo into a new building on the sunnier southeast corner of Michigan Avenue.
According to excerpts from the article:
"We need critical mass, and I think we're getting it," said Elliott, who moved Troppo from downtown East Lansing in 2004. "We're very excited for all the things going on down here."
The new restaurant would be more than twice the size of the current space.
Elliott would move his Tavern on the Square into the current Troppo space, which is about 5,300 square feet. That would leave Tavern's 3,100-square-foot spot at 206 S. Washington Square open for a new venue.
The new Troppo would be built on what's now a concrete pedestrian plaza adjacent to the One Michigan Avenue office building. Elliott led a $10 million deal to buy the building in March.
