I hate even posting on this project, but the Eastwood expansion has been given a formal name:

The Heights at Eastwood

Lansing Township $22M Eastwood project includes performing arts theater

LANSING TWP. — As a teenager growing up in East Lansing, Chuck Senatore would often ride his motorcycle on the fields and hills north of Lake Lansing Road near what is now U.S. 127.

More than 30 years later, the Lansing businessman has returned, this time helping to steer a four-restaurant development that will be a cornerstone of a major new retail and housing project just north of Eastwood Towne Center near U.S. 127 and Lake Lansing Road.

Senatore was among the business leaders and Lansing Township officials on hand Wednesday as the multimillion-dollar, mixed-use development project was formally christened The Heights at Eastwood. A grand opening is slated for Sept. 12, though some businesses will be open before then.

“It’s funny, when I’m out here now, I sometimes have flashbacks of me riding that motorcycle,” Senatore said. “It’s a cool, serendipitous homecoming.”

...

“We’re seeking people that want the walkable urban experience,” said Allen Russell, director of development and construction for DTN Management Co., a township-based company that is constructing the five-story building with 124 luxury apartments. It is slated to open in the fall or summer of 2013.

The development also will have the four restaurants co-owned by Senatore and a five-story parking garage that will include a retail space on the ground floor. Lansing Township, through its Eastwood Downtown Development Authority, is acting as its own developer to build 120,000 square feet of commercial space and the parking garage.

Two of Senatore’s restaurants — Tony Sacco's Coal Oven Pizza, a 4,500-square-foot pizzeria, and the 7,900-square-foot Bar 30 restaurant and night club — should open by early June. The other two restaurants — a 5,000-square-foot restaurant, Carlos and Jorge’s, featuring Latin food, and Eleven Prime, an 8,000-square-foot steak and wine bar — should open this fall, he said. The four restaurants should employ 200 to 250 people, Senatore said.
