Grand River Park

Grand River Park is a mixed-use riverfront redevelopment on Lansing's west-southwest side, along the Grand River. Twin Monkey Development was selected through the City of Lansing's 2024 request for proposals to redevelop the park's wooded western portion, alongside long-term investment in the public park and waterfront. The area has lacked a full-service grocery store for years, and the project is designed to bring daily-needs shopping back within reach.

About 272 homes, from studios to three-bedroom family units, including two-story live-work units, serve residents across income bands and life stages: workforce households, families, seniors, and professionals. A neighborhood grocery anchors the retail, and parking is integrated beneath the residential building to keep green space open. In the latest, tentative update to the concept, the retail becomes a two-story building, potentially with two stories of additional homes above, next to a full-height parking garage. The project targets the Living Building Challenge, using mass timber with concrete and steel where required. Public improvements, including a riverfront boardwalk and trail, renovated docks and marina, a level park field with a pavilion, an amphitheater, and a community center with a kitchen, are planned alongside the private development, and part of the site will be dedicated as a preserve.

In due diligence and the public approvals process with the City of Lansing, including Planning Board, Parks Board, and City Council review, ahead of the next feasible ballot for voter authorization.
