  • As I understand it, the planning commission disagrees with these changes because they are not in the city's master plan, and this area was not planned for the high building heights. They would prefer that a new master plan be created where there are…
  • Thanks for letting me know. It is working for me when I'm logged in to the site. However if I'm logged out I get the following error: "Not Found - The requested URL /discussions//search was not found on this server." I tested by doing two searche…
  • I just completed an update to the forum software. Please let me know if you have any issues. Thanks, Jared weinjared - at - gmail
  • Yeah I do agree that it's an improvement. It also doesn't prevent the other uses that I would like to see.
  • I don't like it. I agree, it feels like they're building the outdoor seating for someone else's restaurant. We should have bathrooms and drinking fountains. Park benches or tables and chairs are good too though, but the outdoor fireplace is a gimmic…
  • BJ's Wholesale Club is opening two locations in southeast Michigan. I wonder if they might be purchasing the old Sam's Club location as their next Michigan expansion?
  • The Temple Club and the old Sam's Club on the south side are under contract to be sold (different buyers most likely). This is great news for both properties. I think it would be easy to convert the old Temple Club to apartments. I'm not sure w…
  • @MichMatters East Lansing has a specific ordinance that was passed after the St. Anne Lofts fiasco that requires that what is built matches the approved plans. https://eastlansing.granicus.com/MetaViewer.php?view_id=2&clip_id=269&meta_id=…
  • This is so great to hear! Wow this is really the game changer that downtown Lansing needs. It's one of those sleeper game changers that will really help change some of the environment and have a lasting impact that will help the street and pedestria…
  • It would be awesome to see that Gillespie proposal built on the parking lot to the north of Oliver Towers.
  • https://eastlansinginfo.org/content/corner-project-now-hold-plans-dont-match-approval The Park District development is now on hold after the city inspectors noticed that the building plans submitted in early December don't match the plans that th…

  • Well this thread was started in 2006 so at least that last long lol. I believe the first public talks about it were in the fall of 2005.
  • Wasn't the height limit just increased from 120 to 140 feet for Park Place? There is definitely a proposal that is the cause for an increase to 160. It could be Park Place wanting to go higher. If not there, maybe we'll finally see a proposal for th…
  • To link Facebook posts, there's a little timestamp on the post that is a direct link to the post. You can right click on the timestamp and choose "Copy Link Location" or "Copy Link Address" (depending on which browser you're using). If the link i…
  • For affordable housing we really could be getting much worse. I think wanting to fit in with the School for the Blind was why they used these materials. It would be great if they could rehab the old Walter French school after this project.
  • They really look great. I need to make my way up there and see them in person. It would be great to see this developer take on more projects in Lansing.
  • Are you asking in regards to the Performing Arts Center? Wow if so I'm surprised to hear that there could be an announcement coming so soon. Have there been private attempts at building a 300-500 person venue? If the private market couldn't support …
  • Valley Court East would be a good name since it ties it to the park instead of the generic "park" name.
  • The Park Place development is now looking to set the height of their Park Place East building (the one on Abbot Rd) to 14 stores (140 feet). The Planning Commission voted against endorsing a proposed ordinance for this and the DDA voted for the prop…
