The development at Miller & Aurelius is really nice to see. I like the design of the houses and the site plan is sensible, I do hope the new east-west street they show is connecting to Maisonette as a connection to Aurelius & the new neighbo…

There's now some insight on the EL government drama recently. There's a lot to digest here but it seems to basically boil down to a power grab gone awry. https://eastlansinginfo.news/just-released-8-page-memo-shows-plan-to-remake-east-lansing-gov…

Here's a new master plan presentation packet, I think this is the result of the meetings from this month. There's a lot more detail in general but one thing I really like is the concept to pedestrianize most of Red Cedar Rd and create a landscaped p…

I have not heard of it and I'm not a huge fan of getting rid of the boulevard at first thought, I'd rather see it extended north to Saginaw/Oakland. They could potentially sell me on the idea of narrowing the street if it opens up some land for deve…

It's interesting that it's those guys involved in the property. Things there certainly look like something is going on but it could just as well be site clearing and nothing more.

I noticed the same thing and am also curious if anything is going to happen soon. I only vaguely remember hearing about the storage facility, I hope it's not for that.

More good news: A developer plans to spend $16 million to renovate the old Barnes St School into a senior apartment building with 21 units in the existing building and 30 units in a new addition. It sounds like a promising project as the developer i…

Yeah, you have the right area. It doesn't say a specific site, I'm not sure if that's decided yet. EDIT: The south academic district generally is the area south of the CN RR tracks near Hagadorn including the medical buildings and the single stor…

...And yet another large new building proposed out at MSU, this one a health education building in the south academic district. Fee Hall will finally be demolished as part of this plan, something is mentioned about a 10 year $119 million capital ren…

Sounds like there's a decent chance that new pool, along with a reinstated swim/dive team, becomes an official part of the new IM plan by the time it breaks ground: https://www.livingstondaily.com/story/news/local/community/brighton/2023/04/17/wo…

@Lymon89 I couldn't agree more on REO Gateway. It's a real disappointment for that site, especially coming from a group of investors that have such grand visions for the area. On a positive note, the first floor of Knapp's is going to be used…

@P2005 Nope, I did not hear about it unfortunately.

@P2005 Good to know about the open houses, I'll have to try to make it depending on the time. I'll be keeping an eye out for it.

@p2005 Thanks for the info, it's very reassuring to hear that they are planning for something noteworthy at that site. I hope they do something there sooner than later, seeing that parking lot is always a little depressing. If you ever hear anything…

@P2005 There's a map on page 8 labeled "Development Framework Concept". The solid dark burgundy color represents projects approved by the board of trustees, the map shows all the buildings that I'm aware of being approved in that color: the multicul…

@mindbender I don't think it'd be a parking garage as the potential parking sites are labeled by greyed out "P" icons, unless they just didn't label it as such because it's already approved as opposed to "potential". I'd agree that would be a horri…

MSU is in the process of creating an updated campus master plan, in one of the documents discussing the process there's a map showing short term and long term building opportunities along with outlines of already approved buildings. All the known pr…

Paving in 2009? Where? Maybe they did a quick and dirty coat of pavement over the badly dilapidated part of Washington south of Lenawee but it's not in great shape now and more importantly the look of the street is surely hurting development prospec…

It's getting pretty close to the time they were expecting to start work on this and we still haven't seen a final design. I'm really, really hoping they came up with something different that is at least halfway decent. I also hope they're planning o…

@MichMatters As far as I can tell all the units in that site plan are on either Landbank or developer owned land, the site plan just doesn't show them using all the available land. @gbdinlansing You're talking about the small building on the Lake…
