  • Also, if you have the file on your computer you can upload the pictures directly to the website using the "Attach image/file" button while typing up comments.
  • Yeah, I don't think the self storage business is expanding at a rapid pace, but as people's incomes decrease or stagnate some people have been forced to downsize their residence but have a hard time letting go of items. I think that's where some of …
  • Thank you for posting the update here, I hadn't seen it published elsewhere and didn't know the outcome.
  • Yeah I remember hearing that a gravel parking lot was part of the temporary plan.
  • I was disappointed that Rory Neuner was absent from the Planning Commission meeting that night. She seems pretty progressive and forward thinking about bike advocacy and I think she would have approved this because this development pushes students t…
  • Bernero has selected a developer, Beitler Real Estate Services, to redevelop city hall. City Hall would move to the old LSJ headquarters (the LSJ moved in to the Knapps building in January 2016). http://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/loca…
  • $2 million is a lot of money. We built Ranney Skate Park for $400,000 around 2002. With $2 million we could probably build 4-5 parks/attractions like the skate park.
  • Yeah honestly I'm expecting more strip malls and possibly a suburban apartment complex or a big box retailer. Pretty sad to lose all that green space to what will probably become a parking lot (East Lansing just did this for Costco )
  • That's great! Do we know why there were 23 open spots?
  • From the article, "Before the office, many Deloitte employees were housed within state buildings, working alongside State of Michigan clients on IT and consulting projects." Also https://www2.deloitte.com/us/en/footerlinks/office-locator/michigan…
  • Worth noting that East Lansing passed form-based zoning code for this area. I think this may be the first development that will be based on it.
  • Yeah, I'm not too worried about this development. The developers aren't asking for a large brownfield credit (that I can remember) and the developers aren't asking the city to build/own a parking garage. This development should move along quickly li…
  • The article says that the building was built for $2.5 million. Converting that to 2017 dollars using the CPI calculator brings it to about $21 million which is about what I would expect for the same building today. I was surprised at how much inflat…
  • Back when they lowered the Farm Lane crossings they said that they couldn't do the same on Hagadorn because it would negatively effect Hannah Plaza too much. I do agree though that lowering the grade here would be in (almost) everyone's best interes…
  • Yeah looks like a Michigan left to me.
  • Yeah, I know that. But this is the type of re-use that we need. In addition, we could have new builds that match this same style.
  • Wow this is really high quality in-fill! This is exactly the types of development that I hope to see spread throughout the city. I would rather have many more of these than a couple high rises. First we should fill in with these and then limit the t…
  • Yeah you can see the scale of the first floor when you notice how small the front door is in that picture. If I could ask for anything for this corner, it would be a 6 or 7 story building with a large pedestrian plaza out front. I would want to l…
  • Yeah good point. I remember hearing about Museum Place in 2005 but there was quite some time before then that there was chatter but no specific plans.
  • @gdbinlansing What web browser are you using? It sounds like maybe there is an issue with the SSL certificate. I don't see any issues. I tested on: * Firefox Nightly 58.0a1 (2017-10-03) (64-bit) * Google Chrome Version 63.0.3234.0 (Official…
