Capitol View Office Tower & Parking Deck

Lansing, MI

Capitol View features a nine-story office building and parking structure offering retail at grade level, office space on the upper levels, and retail located across from the front lawn of the State Capitol Building.

A notable feature of the parking structure is the eight levels of the parking deck directly correlate with the first eight levels of the attached office building. A steel-framed nine-story tower with a precast spandrel that matches and aligns with the parking deck precast components provides direct access from each floor of the parking deck to the corresponding floor of the adjacent office suites.

A challenge concerning the precast design was the issue of the property line of the existing adjacent office tower. The articulated wall and the precast color mix provided an aesthetically pleasing design by creating the appearance of windows. These mock windows allowed the building to maintain a consistent appearance, despite the fact the entire wall on the property line was windowless.

Capitol View is home to the Dykema Gossett Law Firm and the Michigan Department of Community Health.
