===Urban renewal and downtown redevelopment===
Several [[urban renewal]] projects by private developers are adding higher end apartments and condominiums to the Lansing market. The Arbaugh, a former [[department store]] across from [[Cooley Law School]], was converted into apartments in 2005. Motor Wheel Lofts, a former industrial site, was converted into loft-style living spaces in mid-2006.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.mwlofts.com/ |title=H.Inc. |work=mwlofts.com |access-date=April 27, 2006 |archive-date=September 5, 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080905182023/http://www.mwlofts.com/ |url-status=live}}</ref> A combination retail and residential complex immediately south of [[Cooley Law School Stadium]] (formerly ''Oldsmobile Park'') called "The Stadium District", was completed in 2007.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.thestadiumdistrict.com/ |title=Stadium District |work=thestadiumdistrict.com |access-date=May 8, 2006 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070314213131/http://www.thestadiumdistrict.com/ |archive-date=March 14, 2007 |url-status=dead}}</ref> The Stadium District was redeveloped using a grant from the [[Michigan State Housing Development Authority]] through the [[Cool Cities Initiative]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Cool Cities – Stadium District |url=http://www.coolcities.com/project78.html |access-date=October 11, 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110611110437/https://www.coolcities.com/project78.html |archive-date=June 11, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Creating a District |url=http://www.thestadiumdistrict.com/district.htm |access-date=October 11, 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090212105631/http://thestadiumdistrict.com/district.htm |archive-date=February 12, 2009}}</ref>

In May 2006 the historically significant Mutual Building located on Capitol Avenue was purchased by The Christman Company to be renovated back to its original grandeur and used as the company's headquarters.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.capitalgainsmedia.com/inthenews/mutu0208.aspx |title=Mutual Building Renovation Shines in Downtown Lansing |publisher=Capitalgainsmedia.com |date=February 27, 2008 |access-date=October 24, 2012 |archive-date=November 2, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131102224843/http://capitalgainsmedia.com/inthenews/mutu0208.aspx |url-status=live}}</ref> Additional downtown developments include the renovation of the historic Hollister Building and the expansion of the former Abrams Aerial Building. As of August 2008, an 18-story condominium high-rise called Capitol Club Tower was in the design phase with the adjacent parking structure having been approved by city council and purchased by the developer. The city market, in existence since 1909, was approved to be sold for a multi-building mixed-use development called MarketPlace, right next to the current market on the adjacent riverfront. The MarketPlace project was redeveloped along with BallPark North, another mixed-use development that will be immediately north of Oldsmobile Stadium. A new city market was built north of the Lansing Center, but closed in 2019. Across the river, the Accident Fund Insurance Company renovated the former (art deco) Ottawa Street Powerplant into their new headquarters. In addition to the renovation, Accident Fund Insurance Company built a modern addition to the north of the historic portion that is connected by an atrium for more office space, as well as a parking structure. In 2009, the restaurant Troppo began construction on a new 2-story building that will have an open-air patio on the roof facing the Capitol building.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.capitalgainsmedia.com/inthenews/troppo0330.aspx |title=Two-Story Troppo Restaurant Expansion Underway in Downtown Lansing |work=Capital Gains |access-date=September 7, 2009 |archive-date=July 8, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110708115031/http://www.capitalgainsmedia.com/inthenews/troppo0330.aspx |url-status=live}}</ref> Developer Eyde Co. announced plans on April 6, 2010, to renovate the historical and prominent Knapp's building in downtown Lansing for first floor retail, office space and apartments/condos on the top floor (5th) in a $22–24 million project.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Weiland |first1=Barbara |last2=Domsic |first2=Melissa |title=Knapp's: Renaissance Zone designation requested |work=Lansing State Journal |date=April 7, 2010 |page=2A |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/lansing-state-journal-knapps-building/139066478/ |access-date=January 19, 2024 |archive-date=January 19, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240119033920/https://www.newspapers.com/article/lansing-state-journal-knapps-building/139066478/ |url-status=live}}</ref>
