Metro Place Will Take Over Old Lansing YMCA Site

A long stalled development on the site of the former downtown Lansing YMCA is moving forward now that developers have received the last of the funding needed to build it.

The four story, $20 million Metro Place project will be 99,000 square feet and consist of 156 apartments and more than 7,400 square feet of commercial space when it opens in 2016.

The YMCA building, at 301 W. Lenawee St. near Townsend Street and Reutter Park, is expected to be razed in the spring.  The six story building was constructed in 1951.
