  • Weird that Oldsmobile Park was still designated as light industrial.

  • Yeah, I think eminent domain here is actually in the right direction. Years back the city took the odd step of condemning the Cedar Village area as part of their East Village plan. That condemnation was absurd, whereas these buildings are actually o…
  • Nothing really new, but DTN is now saying that it is going to try to proceed without the Strathmore-owned properties. I'm starting to doubt that DTN will actually start any work on this project. http://statenews.com/article/2014/04/park-district
  • Of those projects, I'm most excited about Moores River Drive and I96 as they should both improve safety.
  • If I had control (and the money!) to determine what happened next with the Walter Neller property, I'd probably build something midsize (4-6) stories there. Mixed use with office and residential on the upper floors and retail on the ground floor. Al…
  • This picture of the Lansing Civic Center looks very similar to the interior of the MSU Auditorium.
  • Well, at least if it is built in this design the buildings should go up pretty fast I've been real happy with Hepler's work so I'm not worried about the execution here. The Prudden Lofts have exterior parking and maybe some carports (I can't rem…
  • I was just in Brooklyn and while there rode their MTA Select Bus Service route. It was super fast to get around. You purchased the tickets before boarding the bus and could enter any of the doors. This is enforced through random inspection at times.…
  • Fresh Thyme Grocery store has signed a lease for the Goodrich spot, so it seems that the project will continue to move forward. I'm curious if Kevin McGraw is going to change the plans, or was just trying to delay the planning commission meeting unt…
  • Yeah I noticed it too, I don't think they would need it if it was just to get supplies up there.
  • Yeah, really weird positioning for the retail building.
  • The revised site plan can be found here: http://www.cityofeastlansing.com/Home/Modules/DMX/tabid/60/Default.aspx?Command=Core_Download&EntryId=9713 I would love for the owners of the Brookfield Plaza at the corner of Hagadorn and Grand River …
  • This is some impressive density. Yes it is, and it really shows how the properties on the opposite corner of Abbot and Grand River are underutilized.
  • Proposed Trowbridge revamp leaves out Goodrich's gives some more information about the Goodrich situation with the development. From reading this it sounds like the developer is trying to get a different market as the tenant.
  • Thanks for the update, I've created a separate thread just for Trowbridge Village.
  • With respect to Goodrich, I imagine that the construction detours will be their biggest problem and is likely their reasoning for saying that the project would put them out. The developer here would end up having to subsidize Goodrich during the con…
  • The first floor of each building is majority parking (this is what I meant by "Special to note that both residential buildings will have 30-40 spaces of parking on the ground floor of each building, with a single retail tenant one one of the sides."…
  • Probably a good idea to include the site plan blueprints as well, as they include some more details that might not be obvious at first glance. Special to note that both residential buildings will have 30-40 spaces of parking on the ground floor of e…
  • Tonight's East Lansing Planning Commission will receive a presentation about the Trowbridge Plaza redevelopment. You can read more about it in the packet here: http://eastlansing.granicus.com/MetaViewer.php?view_id=2&event_id=50&meta_id=1266…
  • Yeah I was thinking Neogen the whole time I was reading your post.
