Christman Construction is nearly finished with its $12 million restoration of the 60,000 square foot Mutual Building in downtown Lansing.
Christman Construction is well-known for restoring old buildings and has restored both the Michigan state capitol and the Virginia state capitol. Christman 
Construction will move from its 408 Kalamazoo Plaza headquarters to the Mutual Building when the renovation is complete.
“The Mutual building kind of came at the right time,” says Christman spokeswoman Angela Bailey. “We’re kind of looking at it as a living, breathing representation of what we do.”
Christman Construction is adding a sixth floor to the building and updating all interior systems. The building will be Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified.
The building, located at 204 North Capitol near Ottawa Street, was built in 1928 and is on the national register.
