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

Lansing-area data center plan dead two weeks after it was announced

LANSING — Less than two weeks after unveiling a data center community engagement proces s officials hoped would flip the script on the hotly contested developments, the project is dead. The announcement of a possible data center in Delhi Township and Holt, on the south side of Lansing, by a local economic development agency was met with immediate opposition. The township ended its partnership with the economic development group the next day and had unanimously approved a resolution opposing the data center within three days of the announcement. On Monday, Nov. 9, the Lansing Economic Area Partnership (LEAP) said the deal is no more. Lighthouse Sustainability, the pre-development firm that intended to work with the community to address concerns about the $10 billion data center, withdrew its interest in the site. LEAP will now look to other "non-data center opportunities" for the site, said Bob Trezise, president and CEO of LEAP. “While we are disappointed that a public dialogue was not truly allowed to begin, we thank the Delhi Township community and Lighthouse Sustainability for their participation and feedback, though brief,” Trezise said in a statement. The project in Delhi Township was announced Oct. 27, six months into a one-year
