Commission grants 12‑month extension for 45 Lansing Street tower; interim pollinator meadow installed
Summary
Turnberry Associates won a 12‑month extension to maintain approvals for a proposed 400‑foot tower at 45 Lansing Street; the developer described interim beautification work including a pollinator meadow on the vacant lot.
The Planning Commission on May 27 approved a 12‑month extension for the previously permitted project at 45 Lansing Street, allowing Turnberry Associates more time to secure financing and permits for construction. The approved project would demolish an existing office building and construct a tower of approximately 400 feet with roughly 227 dwelling units.
Project sponsor Turnberry presented interim use work done in coordination with the nonprofit Pollinator Partnership to beautify the vacant site with native wildflower plantings and educational signage. Planning staff recommended approval based on the project’s prior findings and the continuing economic conditions that have slowed construction.
Commissioners praised the interim site improvements and referenced enforcement and maintenance expectations during the extension period. The motion to grant the 12‑month extension passed unanimously.
