What does the Lansing commercial real estate market look like?

Lansing's CRE market is defined by the twin anchors of Michigan's state government and Michigan State University in adjacent East Lansing. State office leasing in the Capitol complex area along Ottawa Street and Allegan Street provides a stable, if cyclical, tenant base for the downtown office market. The Stadium District redevelopment near the Lansing Lugnuts ballpark has introduced new mixed-use inventory to an otherwise slow-growth downtown. East Lansing's Grand River Avenue corridor benefits from MSU's 50,000-student population with steady retail and multifamily demand. Industrial activity is concentrated along the I-96 corridor and in the former GM-related manufacturing facilities in the Delta Township area.

Key Economic Drivers

  • Michigan state government Capitol complex and legislative office demand
  • Michigan State University's 50,000 students and associated research park facilities
  • Sparrow Health System and McLaren Greater Lansing hospital campuses
  • General Motors Lansing Delta Township and Lansing Grand River assembly plants

Market Insight

Lansing's Obsolete Property Rehabilitation Act exemptions allow owners of qualifying commercial properties to freeze the taxable value at the pre-renovation level for up to 12 years, providing significant incentive for rehabilitating the city's older downtown office and retail stock.
