I was checking MSU's facilities page and saw that the MSU board has approved construction of two new buildings, the continuation of the years long building spree at MSU looks set to continue for a good while. Specifics are likely a ways off but judg…

@MichMatters The article states that the township residents debt does not just automatically spread out to the wider city upon annexation: While there is a process for Lansing Township to be absorbed into another contiguous municipality, it woul…

The LSJ has a pretty solid article on the fiasco that is Lansing Township finances. They even discuss a possible merger with Lansing, mentioning how the township residents can still be made to pay the debt even after a merger and the city attorney s…

The LSJ ran a story on the REO Gateway under construction at the old Deluxe Inn site. They give no new details on the project besides mentioning that it will be 72 units, and also mentioned as a side not that their project in the Cherry Hill neighbo…

They have the brownfield plan for the Neogen project in the 6/13/22 City Council packet: https://civicclerk.blob.core.windows.net/stream/LANSINGMI/0777f06f-fbc9-4f88-ac7b-b07527543f6f.pdf?sv=2015-12-11&sr=b&sig=hXPn8dUsyzHqB6RX19/nGDYZMH1Ll1…

Oh wow, that's unexpected and pleasant news. I pretty much expect them to put effort into making the Shiawassee frontage look good, any extra effort beyond that would be appreciated.

https://develop.metrolansing.com/discussions/uploads/editor/at/mawwdwa2kiep.jpg I was walking by and snapped a quick picture of the progress on the new apartment building on the Lake Trust block. The building looks to be structurally complete and…

@Lymon89 Yeah, the window openings at Holmes St are boxed in, just the vapor barrier there now so hard to say what they'll clad it in. Agreed on Eastern and Sexton. I'm really hoping to see Sparrow put the right windows in Eastern and it'd be amazin…

Just a small update, I finally made it by the old Holmes St school and saw that work is under way there. My only gripe is the windows, I'm a pretty huge proponent of putting historically accurate windows in old schools that fill up the whole space w…

The south side of the 2000 block of Michigan is getting $450k of facade improvements through the existing corridor improvement program. It's great to see things like this but I do hope the city plans on repaving and streetscape improvements to Michi…

Well, the developer is backing out of the senior housing: https://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/2022/05/06/east-lansing-developer-backing-out-park-district-housing-project/9589876002/

@sabatoa I'm not sure about that, I found my old post: https://develop.metrolansing.com/discussions/discussion/comment/13427#Comment_13427 ...but I think I threw away the packet they gave out. I'm pretty sure they were a company out of the Kalama…

@sabatoa Yeah, I had a hunch because the guy who owns (or manages?) some of the renovated apartments in Cherry Hill hosted neighborhood meetings over in that building. Which reminds me, he was somehow in partnership with the developer that proposed …
-
@sabatoa I looked up the Holmes St School and it comes back to the Blackboard District LLC at 2722 E Michigan Ave, which I'm pretty sure is related to the company that owns the Cherry Hill properties. I forgot there was something going for that scho…
-
@MichMatters They definitely own some of the properties. I was parsing the tax records looking for taxpayers addresses since virtually all the properties in question are owned by holding companies, most of which are just named the address of the pro…

@sabatoa I envy your friend a bit who gets to work with them on some of these projects. If you ever hear anything that you can share I know we'll be happy to hear about it.

This is a pretty interesting little plan, a developer plans to tear down a single story storefront next to the old downtown EL Barnes & Noble and construct a new two floor building with a restaurant, rooftop patio and a bocce court. The building…

I also am a fan of their concept. I remember talking about constructing buildings over 496 at Washington a few times over the year here, it's really great to see it, even in a conceptual rendering, by someone who might actually be capable of making …

Has anyone seen this site? I'm not sure what to make of it, it seems to be related to Urban Systems and/or Forsberg Real Estate, the people behind the above mentioned City View development. I beginning to wonder how much of this land they may own or…
