DRAFTLANSING, MICHIGANBROWNFIELDS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE GRANT APPLICATIONKNAPP'S BUILDING HISTORIC RENOVATIONDESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITIES

There is great interest in this country in preserving buildings of architectural significance.That is particularly true with one of the best examples of Art Deco architecture in the Midwest,the Knapp's Building in Lansing. This yellow and blue Streamline Moderne style NationalHistoric Register building (no.83000851) was once Knapp's Department Store, a local butimportant retailer in the City. The retailer operated in the building from 1937 until it closed in1980. The building was used for a period of time by the State, which carried out significantremodeling of the interior space. However, the State vacated the building in 2002.

The site itself has an interesting history. After a building on the site burned, LieutenantLuther Baker, whose cousin was head of the U. S. Secret Service, and his commander purchasedthe site with the reward money they received from the capture of John Wilkes Booth, PresidentLincoln's assassin. The year was 1865.

The building was purchased by the Louis J. Eyde Limited Family Partnership and theGeorge F. Eyde Limited Family Partnership, hereinafter referred to in this application as TheEyde Company (TEC). They purchased it in 1982 and utilized a portion of the building for theiroffices from 1983 to 1986. The building became vacant when the state vacated in 2002. TEC'svision was to progress the building back into productive use, but the deteriorating economy hasprevented that from occurring, until now. TEC has done an extensive evaluation of the buildingand has had detailed discussions with the State Historic Preservation Office regarding their planto convert the former department store into a mixed-use building. A study of how a series ofprograms, including the New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC), the Federal and State Historic tax

1


61/136

credits (HTC) and other programs has resulted in an analysis showing how to fund the project.With indications of recovery ,and 'some resurgence in downtown Lansing, TEC has determinedthat renovating the building now will have it ready for occupancy as the econom y recovers.

The Knapp's Building is a five story 175,000 square foot building with 124,128 netleasable area. The current development plans identify the first floor to be converted into 17,310square feet of retail and office space. The mezzanine will have 14,840 square feet for officeuses. The next three floors will house 68,745 square feet of office space. The fifth floor will becondominiumized from the other floors and will include approximately 19 market rateapartments totaling 23,233 square feet. No HUD funds will be used in the conversion of thespace into apartments. The Lansing Economic Development Corporation (LEDC) will occupy10,000 square feet of the first floor and m ezzanine for an incubator, providing space and servicesto start up local business.

The project development costs and funding sources are $5.4 million in Section 108 loan,$4.83 million in NMTCs, $3.77 million in federal HTCs, $3.59 million in Michigan HTCs, and$1.8 million in M ichigan Brownfield TCs.

In addition $2 million in BEDI grant funds will be used to pay the interest on the Section108 loan through the NMTC mandated seven year interest-only period. Depending on interestrates, some amount of the $2 million can be used for project costs.

The project meets the CDBG program's national objective outlined at 24 CFR 570.208(a)(4)(i), Activities benefiting - low and moderate-income persons, job creation or retentionactivities. The eligible activity for the project is under 24 CFR 570.703(1)(1) Economicdevelopment activities eligible under Section 570.203. The project meets the HUD benefit testby providing a projected 218 new jobs, which is less than the $35,000 cost per job threshold.
