You're thinking about a big change to the site? Like new forum software?
-
I'm not sure what you mean by marked as read, like even threads with new posts show them as all read? Everything is working fine for me, nothing has changed. You use Chrome? Are you using this address: https://develop.metrolansing.com/discussions…

The lack of a parking garage and a completely different condensed building footprint that was likely one or two floors taller would have been a pretty big plus imo. Not quite making up for all the front yard parking but still notably better.

They're involved in a lot of things, including MBI and a couple of the MSU buildings up in GR: https://www.msufoundation.org/buildings https://www.msufoundation.org/locations This sort of thing is not a small deal if it's not literally small. I…

I'd welcome something like a pedicab, I thought I've seen at least one running around in the past but not recently. Any out of the ordinary thing like that is good to have in town. The pedal powered party bus things seem to do ok here, at least the …

@MichMatters That public safety building site plan is different than the one you posted from the planning commission meeting on August 3rd. This most recent one looks more like the plan that had been posted awhile back and shared in a WKAR story. I …

Yeah, I'd agree that a dedicated parking space should probably not be a requirement. Even in rental situations there's cases where people will not need a car. That's not even considering the looming rollout of robotaxis, which will make personal …

A small bit of insight on what the MSU Foundation is proposing on Harrison: https://www.msufoundation.org/msuresearchfoundation-news/msu-trustees-authorize-long-term-lease-negotiation-with-msu-research-foundation They're calling it an "innovatio…

Yeah, I have no idea why they went with that panel projecting off the side of the building. I'm going to assume it's somehow necessary or they really hated the look without it, hopefully they're not forgetting this is Michigan and falling ice/snow o…

I like the building more now that I see the wider view. I was worried about that box sticking out on Washington that I could see on the edge of the other renderings, but now that I see it in context it isn't terrible. Obviously not ideal, but not te…

Nice. The Ovation Facebook page posted a few more renderings: https://www.facebook.com/ovationlansing/posts/pfbid0bXo7FibhWvxrcAjQvn9jGuKS7neQQ68hKEa9yszrhG1dL9VL3c7f4FXik7qiwjGRl As of yet I'm not seeing any good overall views of the whole buil…

I'd love to know at what price point retail space in a new mid rise or 5-over-1 becomes viable. A lot of times developers of new buildings are picky about their commercial tenants which is part of it, another reason is that developers and real estat…

How could they identify demand when there's nothing on Grand Ave and no similar space has been built anywhere downtown west of the river? I don't think looking at COVID-era retail vacancy rates are much use either. Not to mention that between City V…
-
I do hope that there's at least some modest changes to the design. I also really wish they would've included at least a small retail space in the building to the south.

I vaguely remember that little spot the museum had, it's not the kind of expansion I'm hoping for in the future but it was a neat place. I'd love to see them get a sizable old industrial building someday. I think that smaller performance space at…

Eastwood and especially Frandor have a lot of the every day needs kind of stuff, not as new and pretty as some other areas but it's all there. I don't think people don't need a big draw next door, they need every day convenience. Michigan Ave's sorr…

@Lymon89 If you assume that Lansing area of the future grows as fast as the Lansing area of the last 50 years then probably no reason at all. If the area is to grow then the Eastside is situated centrally in the metro with great access to freeways, …

@citykid The development status page would be fantastic to have. I hope you guys can make it happen. I'd love to see the entire eastside south of Michigan become all rowhouses and low rise apartment buildings. Maybe in a few decades after Michiga…
