I'm really happy with the job they did fixing up that building. It's especially nice given the difficulty I'm sure they'll have find a tenant for such a small space.

I'm just glad to hear that they are breaking ground on Wednesday. I wonder if it's just a ceremonial groundbreaking or if they are going to start major construction right away.

Details of Eastwood plan Lansing Township board tables Eastwood decision Not sure why they would postpone a decision when it seems to be pretty strait forward to me. The LSJ article went further in detail about the plans. NCG will be adding…

A story on the two Ann St developments: Developments set for downtown East Lansing I'm glad to hear that these projects are moving along quickly, hopefully they stay on track.

I gotta get by there to see that. Looks good. Does anyone know when the new Rivertrail along the west bank is going to open?

I went and found the story on their site: Expansion Planned For Eastwood Towne Center The project is more extensive than what I had thought; 125 apartments, 15 restaurants, 75k sq ft of retail and a 716 space parking structure. I'm wondering what…

This is the building that is proposed to go next door:

I don't really like the design either, it looks a lot like the newer Stonehouse condos in EL, with half-exposed parking on the first floor. I wish people wouldn't always go with such bland architecture around here.

I'm hoping that this is going to be targeted more towards Cooley students, which it may very well be. If that's the case then I would agree with you that it wouldn't effect the overall downtown housing market much. I'm wondering about the number …

They have put in the foundation for the new sculpture near City Market. I think it's supposed to be unveiled in a week or two.

I'd hope that raising the bridge up a little would be something they'd do without having to be lobbied to do so, but who knows. The old dollar store in Old Town at Washington & Grand River is slated to undergo what looks to be a pretty good r…

I agree that we need to address the issue of sprawl, I doubt anyone on this forum would disagree with your stance on it. I just don't think that laws dictating too much to people are the answer. Besides, with the recent rush of interest in urban are…

I don't think the kind of regulations you talk about are very good ideas. They're too Orwellian. I think that the best way to encourage smart development and growth is through things like improving mass transit systems, improving urban school distri…
