Locally owned Mexican restaurant opening new downtown Lansing location

LANSING — A Mexican restaurant that got its start in Old Town more than two decades ago plans to open a second location in the city's downtown by the end of the year. Yendry Garcia, co-owner of Pablo's Mexican Restaurant at 2010 E. Michigan Ave., will open a new location at 123 S. Washington Square. The 1,400-square-foot leased space was previously occupied by La Cocina Cubana, a Cuban restaurant that closed at the property in October. News about the new location comes nearly four years since the East Michigan Avenue location opened its doors and over 20 years after Pablo's opened in Old Town. The Old Town location underwent an ownership and name change, to Catalina’s Mexican Restaurant, in June 2025. Garcia said he and his wife Mariana hope to open the downtown location sometime in December. He hopes the new restaurant meets a need there. "We thought downtown needed more business," Garcia said. "We are so happy to bring another Pablo's to downtown." The new restaurant will serve the same menu offered at the Pablo's location off East Michigan Avenue. The restaurant will also serve breakfast. The location won't serve beer, wine or liquor, but Garcia said it may

Lansing City Council OKs tax deal for 440 apartments to boost housing

LANSING — A local local landlord, property developer and entrepreneur's work to make a name for himself in distressed real estate seems to be paying off. The Lansing City Council unanimously approved on Nov. 9 four 15-year workforce housing development incentives for Simtob Management Investment, about three years after the city settled a lawsuit with the company intended to bring the red-tagged Holmes Apartments complex into code compliance. The incentives are PILOTs, or payments in lieu of taxes agreements, which are often used by cities for certain housing developments. They are put in place as an alternative to a property owner paying traditional property taxes. The Lansing company will pay a total of about $205,000 for four apartment buildings in 2027 rather than their normal share of property taxes for Baltic Flatz, 916 W. Cavanaugh Road; Carolina Flatz, 4318 Pleasant Grove Road; Pacific Flatz, 1401 E. Kalamazoo St., and Ventnor Flatz, 1115 Dorchester Circle. In 2027, the four properties would have otherwise had a tax bill of about $713,000. City officials said the payment will increase every year and Simtob Management will have to submit annual audits to the city. If the company doesn't pay its bill, it will have
