Apartments Overlooking Lansing Ballpark Approach Completion

LANSING (AP) - The top level of a new apartment building overlooking a minor league baseball park in downtown Lansing is expected to be ready for this coming season.

The top floor of the $11 million Outfield apartment complex is expected to be done by opening day in April, with 14 of 28 apartments looking toward home plate at Cooley Law School Stadium, where the Lansing Lugnuts play.

The Lansing State Journal reports all 84 rooms on the three-story development are expected to be finished by June. It's built on top of a one-story concourse that includes a restaurant and banquet hall, and half of the apartments face the ballpark.

The first floor was finished last year as part of $13.5 million in improvements meant to modernize the ballpark.
