I got all excited when I saw an excavator there last month, but they were just moving an ATM closer to the building. The Urban Systems folks seem to have a lot of plans but have yet to start any of them. I know it's all about the money and getting t…

This building looks like Lansing to me, a nice looking urban apartment building the fits into its surroundings not trying to look like something else. I have not heard that the rest of the project there has begun. I hope we can get some more shovels…

That sounds like a good plan, the Avenue has the old City parking lot behind it so I thought they must be planning something different for this project. It's fun to watch it go up!

I was thinking the same thing this photo looks like it could be Lansing. It seems strange to me that Dayton Ohio is more developed than Lansing.

Thanks!

I was thinking that they might have saved the mature trees that were part of the old landscaping, and make them part of the greener landscape. Sorry, I try to keep the tree rants down, I just noticed this was the first thing that was done at the sit…

This one has a smaller space than The Avenue building, are they building a parking structure?

I know I should link these stories but I do not know how!. On the Lansing history Facebook page, they are talking about the Civic Center, many have very fond memories of that place. It would be important as you say to make this new project a civic…

I had read that Mayor said there could be an announcement about a PAC before the new year, and the people from Urban Systems[?] saying they have the land to do this now and that such a facility would not cost the city much money. Perhaps he meant th…

I have been wondering if anyone has any thoughts or insights about this potential development? Mayor Andy said an announcement could be coming in the next few days.

I was by this site yesterday and they are really going to town! They started with the cutting of the trees! Looks like they want to get the road access in place first. Be careful driving by there. There are huge deep potholes in the lanes where they…

Interesting drawings of this project in the LSJ today. It looks like this one is going to start soon. I like that they seem to have a bolder more current modern design for these tall buildings. Ann Arbor is going to be blue with envy!

I know we have a lot of trees but they are important for many reasons. I have read that the number of trees in urban areas has decreased by millions in the past decade. The trees do fill in but they really butchered some of them and cut down others …

The painting has continued on the new brewery, they painted the front of the building this week. I knew they had planned to paint the whole building but it is a bit of a shame they could not keep the original yellow bricks, they had just rebuilt the…

Work has begun on the new storage facility at Holmes and S Washington, I could tell because the first thing they did was to take out all the trees that were there from the old landscaping. Seems like we still have a frontier attitude here, step one,…

An Interesting article on LJS.com about the idea of building a performing arts center in downtown Lansing! This could be a part of a new hotel conference center. The PAC would be in addition to the Adado Park stage plan and the under the bridge venu…

That is a good one!

I hope they will find at least one new name for these two developments, Park Place and The Park District are too similar and hard to keep straight which development is being discussed. I would think that shadow canyons[you can see the shadow effect …

Much of the work on Mt.Hope Barnes and Smith Ave is done. If you want several blocks of driving pleasure the new pavement is really nice. Kind of an unexpected lane change westbound Mt Hope at MLK the right lane is for right turns only as west of th…

You have brought up a very good point. My old neighborhood park Quentin had restrooms and a nice brass [beat up by ice skates] drinking fountain. I think many parks in Lansing had restrooms. I could see using the modern park and street restrooms lik…
