Spartan Gateway District

Early rendering for Spartan Gateway

Overview of scope:

The Spartan Gateway District project is a transformational initiative to develop approximately 14 acres on the northeast corner of South Harrison Road and Trowbridge Road. This economic development opportunity site is planned to include amenities such as hotel, market rate housing, retail, restuarants, office, parking, an approximately 6,000-seat Olympic sports arena, and potential future academic and/or healthcare development.

The project is being developed through a combination of a public private partnership (P3) delivery and the MS delivered arena.

It is anticipated that the university will enter into a long-term ground lease under a Development Agreement between MSU and the developer, G&G Project Sparta, LLC. The developer will leverage the site with additional commerical facilities through private investment. The initial phase of this project will include construction of a multi-purpose Olympic sports arena and a 200-key signature hotel.

The Olympic sports arena will be designed for multiple uses including MSU sporting events (home to women's volleyball, gymnastics and men's wrestling), community events, Michigan high school playoffs and championships, concerts, and other campus activities.

The arena will be University financed.
