$132 Million Redevelopment of Ottawa Power Station Nears Completion

It's been two and a half years, but the redevelopment of the Downtown Lansing landmark power station is taking shape.

According to excerpts from the article:

All nine floors of the 190,000-square-foot power plant are in place. Workers are routing computer cables, heating and cooling vents and assorted spaghetti into the floors. A glassy new 105,000-square-foot addition is almost finished and a parking deck to the north is going up fast.

Most work on the Lansing-based insurance giant’s new corporate campus is expected to end this Thanksgiving, followed by a month or two of inspections and last-minute fixes.

Accident Fund employees can start hauling in the computers, coffee urns and kid photos in early 2011. The parking deck is scheduled for June 2011 completion.

The project is on budget at $132 million, according to the Christman Co., the general contractor. The parking deck is expected to cost another $31 million.

The theme here is adaptive reuse, on the grandest scale ever seen in Lansing.
