According to the property information page at the link; 100, 124, 128, 130, 136, and 140 W Grand River along with 341 Evergreen are owned by the same entity, which is listed as City Center Two Project LLC. Property records aren't always totally up to date, but I don't believe their very outdated either.
As I understand it, anything that was owned by City Center Two Project LLC is now known as Park District Investment Group, LLC. The other properties in the area are owned by DTN, unless they gave the properties back to the city when they said they couldn't move forward without the bank building.
All of those properties are within the footprint of the main building in that site plan. The rerouting of the streets throws things off when looking at it, for reference notice the street behind the main building is an extended Albert Ave.
Regarding 927 E Grand River, I saw an elevation in the council packet or somewhere and it looked pretty bad. I hope they deny this request, I don't care if they develop that block as a large building or individual properties, but there should be maximum setback and minimum height requirements along with a requirement for first floor commercial space. I'd hate to see a short sighted addition or renovation stifle future development of that parcel or block.
565 is the old Taco Bell, Google Maps is off. The property info site says that it's now owned by Stonehouse Village LLC, which makes sense. Hopefully whatever gets built is at least the quality of their other buildings.
Wow that's great news! The Stonehouse Village property on Grand River is a good mixed-use development. Having another one of it's kind right across the street and especially at the same height as the other Stonehouse Villages will create a nice dense block there.
Even as someone who more than did my part to keep that Taco Bell open during college, just about anything would be better at that corner. Hope it works out.
It's new to me. I couldn't find anything more on it online. The public notice says it is proposed by Stonehouse Village VI LLC (which was actually incorporated in 2009 according to http://www.bizapedia.com/addresses/117-CENTER-ST-EAST-LANSING-MI-48823.html). The full text of the notice is:
A public hearing will be held to consider an application from Stonehouse Village VI,
LLC for a Site Plan and Special Use Permit approval for the property at 565 E. Grand
River Avenue to construct a five-story mixed-use building with 5,041 sq. ft. of
commercial space on the first floor and a mix of one-, two-, three-, and four- bedroom
apartments on the upper floors. The property is located in the B-3, City Center District.
Also worth noting is that Lingg Brewer will go in front of the city council on the 8th again for his project across from the colorful parking ramp.
In searching for info on the Stonehouse Village project I found another proposed project from the March 25th planning commission meeting. Someone is proposing a four floor, 51 unit building with 1500 sq ft of retail space and parking on the first floor at the northeast corner of Spartan and Grand River.

From everything I've seen over the past year or so, I see only good things coming for this city and at an increasing pace to boot. I too have been surprised at the pace of low rise developments along the corridor, but it hardly taps into it's potential. The Lansing area largely missed out on the pre-recession central-city boom that Grand Rapids and Ann Arbor experienced so I think there's not only a lot of pent up demand, but also a lot of desirable locations for development that haven't been touched. East Lansing in particular has stymied downtown growth for many decades and now that they've backed off on that stance it's essentially open season with a massive demand for nice apartments near campus driving development. Theses small developments are simply testing the market for what's to come.
I fully expect that this demand extends to downtown Lansing proper and we will see a high rise go up in the near future, if not several. It's just inevitable given how things are going. There's an immediate need for hotel, office, apartment and condo space in downtown Lansing, any or all of which could justify their own high rise. There's also the ever present possibility of a new building for the State or LCC and the wish for a new City Hall/police/county courts building. Along Michigan, properties on CPIX disappear shortly after they've been listed. Despite there having been many Michigan Ave properties listed fairly recently, I can only find one for sale (1716) and one for lease (2522) right now, which I think illustrates the high demand there. I say all this just to make clear that being an optimist when it comes to central Lansing and East Lansing is very well justified as is the expectation for more and higher quality and higher density development. I really feel like we're in for quite a construction boom over the coming years with the only caveat being the national economy, particularly the financial markets.
