Lymon, we saw a concept a few weeks ago the Granger Group released and it looked pretty nice, but there is no telling how they'd actually structure the ground floor. I'm kind of hopeful, though, because as I'd mentioned before, it seems like there i…

Old Sanborn Fire Insurance maps show it as the "Strand Hotel" with one section (northern half on Grand) labeled as "bus station." So it appears it's always been multi-use. I hope whatever is developed is worthy of that corner, again. I'd love to …

Found this picture of the recently-demolished Walter Neller Building during better times at the northwest corner of Grand and Allegan in CADL's old images. Looks like it hosted lots of businesses:

This is quite interesting, though, I wonder how quickly they could implement this with the imminent CSO project coming up. I'm also a bit confused by the options. Are the "Washington Square Options A & B" subsets of the "Bike System Options" …

I'm not sure if that's really relevant? If a sidewalk needs to be fixed through an area in which it goes through and elevation, then everything associated with keeping that path clear needs to be fixed. Generally, the city tries to split costs with …

Just my personal opinion, but aside from them not technically revealing the conflict of interest, it seems like the filer had a personal axe to grind. I've found that city sidewalk rebuilding is one of those odd areas where this is all kinds of grey…

I was by Haslett Village Square a week or two ago and hadn't been that way in years. Noticed a big apartment building fronting Haslett Road, but nothing beyond that. Yeah, they've been working on the Prudden Building/Washington Square Building si…

I don't know. The materials just look incredibly cheap. That grey textured siding it not working for me. gb, Pleasant Grove was going to have a lane reconfiguration, but after consultation with the neighborhood, they will keep it exactly as is. T…

Parks & Rec held a fundraiser for fountain renovation earlier this year, so it's definitely a city priority.
-
New brownfiled plan submitted for the redevelopment of the old Pleasant Grove Elementary site. Not good looking, but they really need to get going on this, and this seems like what they've been able to land on. Not sure what's being rendered behind …
-
Me, I'm going to wait to hear what the delay is. What I can find on the property look-up tool is that the planning department is requesting more info as part of the Commercial Plan Review these projects have to go through. It definitely is unusual, …

Interesting. I'm looking at aerials of the place, and I can only make out two structures that look like they could have been part of the aiport. The first is in the parking lot of East Lansing Soccer Complex, and the second is a structure that looks…

Ahhh, yes, that appears to be an access road to the farm. I'm not often up that way, so I never differentiated it with all the other farms along that road up that way. But looking at the map, yeah, it's huge, huge farm, a pretty unusual landscape fo…

Oh, he was just talking about the farms fields? In that case, this is Hamlich Sod Farms. Entrance to the business is actually off Park Lake Road RIGHT on the Meridian Township/Bath Township border. This land (a bit over 1,000 acres) came into…
-
Hmmm, I'm still unsure. All I know up that way off of Abbot are the apartment complexes, Eagle Eye Golf Club, some self-storage units, some single family homes and some farms. That's what's between the county line and I-69, anyway. Speaking of so…

When my brother went there, he got in there. Probably wasn't supposed to. This was some years ago, but I recall him telling me they essentially just used it (the interior space) for storage.
-
Could you be more specific? What is the nearest crossroads? What township is this?
-
That's what I was talking about; there doesn't seem to be any law that covers responsibility for the waterways, which I found weird since we have laws for nearly everything else, and since Michigan is supposed to be a maritime state. It seems once d…

The district has invested $11 million in renovation for Sexton since 2016. It's definitely one of the properties they are looking to keep, long-term. Good thing for Lansing is that both the city and the school district are finally growing again

The new small commercial plazas do seem to do well. The one across the street at 3415 E Saginaw - "Pointe North Retail Center," which is also owned by Frandor, BTW - was built in 2008 is always leased up. Same with the Lake Lansing Place at the SW c…
