...Continued from General Lansing Development Thread... Meh. Without buying the lot next door, removing the parking and renovating it as plaza space I'm very so-so on this. At least after seeing the Boji's do a decent job renovating the Farnum Bu…

I wouldn't want to see any variances granted for anything resembling what's proposed. If they want to build it completely within current zoning requirements than so be it but the city shouldn't be doing anything to make it easier.

Already filled mine out. I mainly want individual meters at spaces, bike racks/parking and maybe 15min+ free parking. The detailed questions were worded as if they wanted input on more than just parking. I also suggested parking ramps in the Stad…

@gbdinlansing Regarding the old bookshop, I think you're talking about 321 E Grand River? I posted a rendering and story about a fairly extensive renovation/addition into a bar/pizzeria with bocce courts. I saw them put the OSB up at the sidewalk an…

I really don't know how to feel about these projects across from the CATA station, there's so much up in the air. With questions about homeless services, the prospect of an LHC managed building, unknown size of the CATA offices/number of apartments …

I missed the part in the Boji's purchase agreement that the sale is actually tied to something being built there, I skimmed for something about that and apparently missed it. I'm just not sure GM cares or that the city has any sort of privileged …

Yeah, I just didn't figure they'd be the ones involved in a relatively small scale mixed use project as they've stood on the sidelines despite seemingly having the land and resources to do things over the years. I guess the dismal office market may …

The agenda for Monday's council meeting has been posted and I don't see anything regarding the Gentilozzi projects or anything else much of note besides one item: Apparently the city is selling its lot on Grand Ave at Lenawee to the Boji's for $760k…

Ok, I might work towards uploading the renderings at least for that thread sense I hope it to function as a sort of archive, I'll watch the image sizes.

I totally agree on the tree cutting, something should be done. I'd also love to see the city recommit itself to having a tree every X feet/or for every lot in the right of way. The Cedar/Larch and Saginaw/Oakland corridors do need attention wheth…

A few updates from today https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjAS7fU: Lansing Center promenade with new concrete: A (bad) view of the Lansing Shuffle Club addition: Stadium North Cedar St building: Stadium North Larch & Erie building: …

Thanks. If you ever feel the need to edit or update anything feel free, I consider it sort of a community post, I just want to keep the comments clear so I can archive projects further down the thread. I'm going to do my best to keep it updated myse…

@MichMatters The new planning commission packet has a letter from H Inc regarding the OPRA at 700 May, they said that the OPRA being revoked is the one for the commercial project they had previously proposed and that they will now be seeking a Neigh…

The people who run the MSU Pavilion have apparently had an ongoing fundraiser to help fund a 40k sq ft addition that would give the building a second arena along with some other space, they've raised $1 million of their $4 million goal. When I worke…

An LSJ story on Riverview 220, no notable new information though: https://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/local/2023/08/20/affordable-housing-downtown-lansing-riverview-220-housing-commission/70619990007/

I started thinking it through and was wondering if the city would/should be offering tax incentives to raze an entire single-family neighborhood for new housing. I'm not so sure about that. Maybe this project actually will proceed with no major ince…

I only saw the OPRA rescinded for the building attached to MW lofts that's becoming more residential, is there something else working its way through for this project?
-
I drove by Penn & Saginaw to check out what was going on and was a little disappointed to see the old commercial building tore down, I really wish they had try to save that. They're putting up some fencing around the corner lots where everything…
-
The small townhouse project across from St Lawrence is fenced off and had a formal groundbreaking a couple days ago. It's being called an affordable housing project but also has "condos" in its name, I'm unsure if they're actually going to be condos…

@MichMatters If they build the first floor out of concrete/steel so that it can be in the flood plain with parking or whatever, then I'd love to see them orient one building to Kalamazoo & Cherry and the other to Grand & Lenawee. I'm not sur…
