Lansing’s Southwest Gets a Glow-Up | Lansing News

Southwest Lansing is getting a major glow-up with an $8.5 million project transforming the old Malcolm X Elementary School site into a vibrant community hub featuring apartments, cafes, a credit union, and a community center—honoring the neighborhood’s history while bringing essential services back to the area. Spearheaded by developer Brent Forsberg, who’s continuing the vision of late developer Joel Ferguson, construction kicked off in April with Phase 1 targeting 28 apartments and 5,000+ sq ft of retail, set for completion by March—with plans for a second phase including more housing and a medical clinic. Locals are thrilled about the “reinvention” and “reconnection,” seeing this as more than just development, but a vital anchor for the future.
