  • Yeah, a green roof is news to me also. Thanks for the info jwswrites. I think we'll see more green buildings coming as there are many tax breaks for building LEED approved buildings, and also it attracts the type of people (younger, artsy) that th…
  • Here is a link to an LSJ story today: Surface lots in East Lansing open for new units They also mention the opening of Lot 1 for development (although this isn't the first time East Lansing has tried to get the lot developed).
  • Yeah it is the parking lot behind Stonehouse Village 1, across the street from the outlined parking lot.
  • The building that the art studio moved in to isn't being planned for demolition. They moved a couple blocks east to Charles St.
  • I just found a new picture from the Strathmore site about the City Center 2 project! It looks pretty expansive, and I am still trying to comprehend how large this development would be. Here is the picture, and I've typed out the legend since it's …
  • It definitely would be worth it to at least voice your opinion at City Council. It would be nice to organize a group of people who are against the proposal and get some publicity about this proposal.
  • Yeah, thats a mixed use development, with I think about 10,000 sq ft of ground floor retail. The site is cleared the structure should start to appear over the next couple months. There are a couple signs up at the site with renderings. I am not s…
  • The houses on Louis St are now being torn down. I went by today and there was a large backhoe tearing up some of the properties. The new development will be an apartment building that was spoken of earlier on this discussion.
  • I went to the Juneteenth celebration today near Sexton and on the way at the corner of Kalamazoo and MLK there was a sign that said a future office building was coming soon. The sign had a rendering on it, so next time I go by I'll try and take a p…
  • I rode my bike through Washington today and saw them cutting down all the trees on the two blocks. I was just coming to the website to let everybody know, only to find out it had already been on here. Thanks sabatoa for posting this. It will be r…
  • Well, the Museum Place has seemed to be pushed out of the spotlight for a while, probably due to budget contraints with getting commercial tenants, and also with the relocation of current tenants. Now that (scene) Metrospace has moved, all of the t…
  • Thanks for joining. The contribution of all the members helps to grow the knowledge and insight of the whole metro Lansing community.
  • When are they supposed to reopen the other block of Washington Square? I thought that was supposed to happen this summer.
  • New Changes Give Hope to Downtown Merchants ^^ There is an article today about the growing amount of people downtown and some of the new businesses coming in.
  • I agree, they make that very clear. It's just too bad that the previous developer fell through. It would have been really nice to see a 12 story condo tower in East Lansing.
  • Press release from the City of East Lansing: Stonehouse Village III Groundbreaking Ceremony to be Held Tuesday, June 19 EAST LANSING, Mich. — The City of East Lansing will kick off its newest development project, Stonehouse Village III, with a…
  • Welcome sabatoa, how long have you been reading the forum, or is this your first visit?
  • Thanks, I've fixed the link now.
  • Here is a link to the draft Request for Proposals that the City Council reviewed tonight: Lot 1 Request For Proposals Please post up here what you think of the request. I thought it left a lot in the air, only really specifying ground floor r…
  • I got the copy of the RFP for Lot 1 just a couple minutes ago. I'll upload it later tonight, but some of the bullets to take from it are: The redevelopment proposal must be "premier quality" The project must be mixed-use with at least 20-25,000…
