When a site like this is developed, the property owner has to put in sidewalks. And back on page 514 where I posted the rendering, it's shown. And fortunately in the case of East Miller, you also have a full-length paved shoulder/bike lane on each s…

MSU is only developing the arena. The rest is being developed by the private companies, which are Goldenrod Companies out of Omaha and Gillespie Group. The Wellness Center is an MSU-developed project.

Interesting. Would love to see the new renderings and site plans. Looking back at the previous packet - there does not appear to be one for the most recent meeting - they were originally putting this at 74 feet, so they shaved 64 feet off. Hopefully…

LSJ is reporting Gillespie Group is part of the development team for this one, which I'm not exactly happy to hear about. lol Also, they too make note that the land lease is unusual for an on-campus project like this. The university will build the a…

Wait, when was the last Board of Zoning Appeals meeting? I didn't know they'd even resubmitted this; you'd said they'd pulled it. BTW, speaking of the BZA, I noticed that WLNS has fence post up in their front yard. Never checked back on this one,…

Yeah, we talked about this in the General Lansing Development thread a few months ago. GB even brought up at an LSJ article spoke of a March demolition. I'm not sure what has happened, but it's just good to see New Vision finally happening.

I see that a permit for foundation construction was pulled on March 3rd for Tower on Grand, so this is definitely officially a go. The permit talks of a 27-floor tower and a WLNS article said it will be 320 feet tall. There was also a demolition per…

They held the formal ground-breaking for these projects, today, and on the site of Tower on Grand: New Vision Lansing project, including 28-story skyscraper, breaks ground in Lansing LANSING — The dirt was carefully prepared, hidden from …

Certainly, I can always do with less surface parking. But it fits in with the surrounding neighborhood, which is suburban. You're not going to build a new "downtown" off of Trowbridge; you wouldn't want to. This is far more dense than anything I exp…

I'm so glad to see them reuse this space on campus. I'd worried they were going to leave this area "greenspace" and sprawl their development, so I'm pleasantly surprised. It looks like they really want to bring up the Harrison corridor as another ax…

Had not even heard of this one. Wow. Pretty nice siting. I'm not sure I understand the ground lease and all of that. Would that be for the whole site or part of it? I don't understand why they wouldn't just be co-developer with whoever they partner …

The township board approved the site plan for the ALDI. The chain is not providing any information about construction, but the township planning director expects it to be built this year. At 20,600 square feet, this will be a bit larger than the 17,…

Not much new going on. Looks like they are well into grading and preparing the foundation for Riverview 220. The part of the site fronting Cherry has been raised a bit to bring it more in line with the elevation of Grand, which gets it out of the fl…

BTW, just found that the city has a map of local, state and federal registers on their website: https://content.civicplus.com/api/assets/2fbd3892-820b-4b83-8e7a-f6be6e80bb96

Chimneys are from 1981; there isn't much reason to save anything beyond the original building. But the original buildings is certainly in danger given that very few people in leadership of anything have any vision, anymore.

Sexton was the first one that came to my mind, today, watching all of this. Fortunately, I think all of the school buildings are zoned "Reuse Adpative" so that'd be at least one obstacles any new owners would have to jump over. Eastern should have b…

Sad to say that the developer is demolishing this for another Starbucks. BTW, this is in Okemos in Meridian Township. East Lansing city limits along Grand River start just a few feet west of Northwind Drive/Shell gas station.

He was a "love him or hate him"-type of guy, but I didn't really mind Virg, tbh. I sometimes had disagreements with his style and sometimes his policies, and sometimes major disagreements. But what I appreciated about him is that you never had to gu…

There is nowhere for him to "fail up" to. He's already had damn-near every job in the region, already, short of state senator. And that seat's not opening up anytime soon. He might leave for the private sector, but it'd have to be for a very cushy j…
