Office furniture consulting and supply company, DBI Office Interiors, is renovating the exterior of its 16,000 square foot Downtown Lansing building to resemble its fashionable interior spaces.
DBI
has been in Lansing for more than 20 years, but just recently purchased
its Michigan Avenue building. Now that the company owns the building,
it can update the façade and front awnings and add windows to the third
story.
“We’ve always kept the interior up-to-date, and now we’re doing the outside,” says George Snyder with DBI.
Snyder
says DBI is set on making improvements that are as environmentally
friendly as possible. He adds that he’s excited DBI could purchase the
building and stay in Downtown Lansing.
“There’s a lot more activity down here,” he says.
DBI is using a more than $5,000 façade grant from the City of Lansing to make the improvements. East Lansing’s Kincaid Building Group plans to complete the improvements by October.
DBI has experienced consistent growth in its office supply division over the past few years and expects to see continued growth.
