Design plans for Gaslight Village project unveiled in East Grand Rapids as lawsuit pends
Developers unveiled design plans for a massive Gaslight Village project in East Grand Rapids, including three new residential buildings, as a lawsuit against the city regarding the project's approval continues.Summary
Developers presented architectural renderings for the first phase of a massive development project in Gaslight Village, East Grand Rapids, to the city's Planning Commission on May 12. The first phase proposes building three new residential buildings with a total of 40 units at 515 Lakeside Drive SE. The overall project calls for six new residential and commercial buildings. The developers, Gaslight Investors, are moving forward with the project despite a lawsuit filed by residents who oppose the size of the development and claim the city ignored a valid protest petition. City Attorney John Huff stated that the litigation does not suspend the project and that the risk lies with the developer. The planning commission expressed positive feedback on the architectural designs, which feature mid-century modern aesthetics and durable materials. The next steps include a public hearing on June 9 and a vote by the planning commission on whether to recommend approval to the City Commission.
