East Lansing should be happy to push students into higher density developments downtown, nearer campus. Then maybe the single family housing could return to being owner-occupied and/or family neighborhoods. That would seem like a much more realistic…

Thanks to gomsu for providing this link over in the General East Lansing discussion thread: Images of Proposed New Building Made Available; Parking Plan Unclear I'm pretty happy with this design. I love the setback and the multiple tiers …

FYI I'm re-posting your link and images regarding the Park District building over in that thread for posterity's sake. That "eastlansinginfo.com" site appears to be regularly updated with well-written articles, how did you come across it?

It's nice to have landmarks like this but I don't know why they chose a traditional brick clocktower design. It doesn't fit in with anything on LCC's campus.

So parcel at the corner of Larch and Shiawassee was listed as part of one of these projects? That would certainly add to the potential impact of this project.

I seriously doubt these proposals are related to the Old Town PILOT conflict. I looked these parcels up, they're owned by Eyde. Given that it's likely Eyde behind this my money's on this being a serious proposal and it being good all-around quality.

There's one thing worth noting in this weeks (August 29th) council packet. In the "Letter from the Mayor" section, there are two letters regarding what I think is the same project. One letter is regarding a PILOT for "Shiawassee Senior Lofts" and th…

I haven't been to them, but Google is showing me there is the Archives and Curious Book Shops on Grand River and three comic stores in the downtown area, I'd say that's OK for a community EL's size in the internet age. I could see downtown EL suppor…

They're proposing to replace the existing Marathon Station at the southeast corner of Abbott and Saginaw with a new uniquely designed station: PDF with elevations (rough sketches) 8/26/2016 Planning Commission Agenda (see item7b) Also, th…

It looks like things will be moving a little quicker than expected with this, there will be a public hearing with the East Lansing Planning Commission on September 14th for the building at Grand River and Abbott. The building will be 12 floors, with…

It's worth noting that at one point a small (I think 500 seat?) theater was supposed to go in the main corner building, it would've been managed by Wharton. I wouldn't entirely rule out the possibility of that idea resurfacing. I agree with you on a…

I just hope the council/residents don't try to micro manage this proposal. Suggesting/wishing for a grocery store is fine, but I hope it doesn't become an expectation or requirement. Personally, I really doubt a grocery store would do well there, wi…

It's great to see the developer behind this, it looks like they've done a few good quality projects. I'm a little disappointed that they didn't indicate any sort of time frame for the project but I guess that's not too surprising at this point. I'm …

I was wondering if they had a Breslin construction cam, they don't even link to it on their site. I added it to the Breslin thread for future reference. One thing that I hadn't really thought about before was that as large as 1855 Place seems, at…

A construction cam for this project: Breslin Webcam

I didn't know that was the Historical Society there, any idea what types of displays they have or what they do as an organisation?
-
Thanks for that, I was wondering if this had a webcam somewhere.

@gomsu It'd really be nice to see a local history museum someday. One option might be to have CADL incorporate a small local history museum into a new downtown library if they go for their millage again. If not that then perhaps something run by a n…

I found an aerial showing the area near Ottawa. I could maybe see it being the building at the end of Ottawa in the first image, with the smokestack behind it.
