Are you talking about the East Village in East Lansing or the one in Lansing? Also, I'm not sure what projects you're talking about lining Grand Avenue, because there isn't a Biggby anywhere along Grand Avenue, downtown. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
BTW, even more development news, the Eastwood Towne Center expansion is to begin next month...

LANSING TWP. - The township's Board of Trustees and planning committee discussed a proposed expansion of the Eastwood Towne Center during a joint meeting that continued late into Wednesday. No votes had been taken by press time.
Plans include several new restaurants and stores, 124 upscale apartments, a parking structure and an expansion of NCG Eastwood Cinemas.
The township expected to begin work on its portion of the project near Lake Lansing Road and U.S. 127 in the next couple of weeks. It wasn't immediately clear when the work on the NCG expansion would begin.
The 76,386-square-foot theater opened in 2002 on the northern edge of Eastwood Towne Center. It has a second-level concession area, 18 screens and 3,800 seats.

Plans include two freestanding commercial buildings with restaurants and stores, surface parking and a mixed-use parking garage with commercial and residential space.
Arden Freeman of Built Form Architecture said the buildings would be "simple and contemporary and have an urban feel but be warm and inviting."
Lansing Township-based DTN Management Co. would build 124 apartments above the commercial space and adjacent to the parking ramp.
The apartments would range from 750-square-foot efficiencies to 1,250-square-foot three-bedroom units, said DTN's Allen Russell. Rent could range from $750 to about $1,350 per month, he said. A courtyard in the center of the building would feature a spa-sized pool.
