LANSING, Mich. — Continental/Ferguson Lansing, LLC and Concord Hospitality Enterprises of Raleigh, N.C., an award-winning hotel development and management company, are pleased to announce that a dual-branded hotel – a Hyatt House and AC Hotel by Marriott – will be located at the new Red Cedar Development project. The groundbreaking for the development is slated to start in September 2019 with infrastructure work done first and the vertical construction following immediately.

Located along the Michigan Avenue corridor next to the campus of Michigan State University, each hotel will stand six stories high. Together, the new hotels will include integration of smart devices and high-tech building management systems and several amenities such as 285 modern guest rooms, a 4,300 square foot ballroom with event and meeting spaces, a rooftop bar and restaurant with a 6th floor dining terrace, a ground-level pool with views of Michigan Ave and a 1,700 square foot enhanced 24- hour fitness center. There will also be an eating establishment on the ground floor.

Joel Ferguson, Principal-Continental Ferguson commented, “This will be a tremendous asset and investment for Lansing and the region as we’re finally developing an underused, yet important, area and a critical link connecting East Lansing and MSU to Lansing and the Capitol catalyzing the Michigan Avenue corridor."

Frank Kass, Principal-Continental Ferguson noted, “We’re investing over $250 million to make this a showcase and center for the region."

Mark Laport. President and CEO of Concord Hospitality said, “We are extremely eager to begin the development of this dual-branded hotel in the Red Cedar Development project and to eventually welcome guests to the Lansing area at each hotel. Our first hotels in Michigan’s capital city, we look forward to giving visitors a chance to explore all there is to see and do in Lansing and across the state of Michigan.”

Construction on the hotels will begin in the summer of 2020 and are anticipated to open during the first quarter of 2022.
