The Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum, new restaurants and businesses, and expanding housing have increased the appeal of downtown and attracted interest in additional investment. Just recently, Jackson National Life Insurance Company invested more than $10 million in the Jackson Zone located in the heart of downtown. With it came nearly 300 jobs and a strong connection to the talented workforce from Michigan State University. In addition, several different types of office space are currently available and more options are in the works. For example, the new 300 Grand Apartments mixed-use redevelopment project will create residential and commercial spaces in an area just a few blocks west of central downtown and the MSU campus. New restaurants and shops have also added to the retail mix that includes local small businesses and national retailers. This eclectic palette of ethnic eateries, art galleries, distinctive boutiques and college-oriented stores helps create the unique, fun and engaging atmosphere that is downtown East Lansing.
