  • CBRE has market reports on their site, but you need to make an account (just email & password) to sign in. I've tried several different emails and it always says "account blocked." I don't know what's wrong with their system, I sent them an emai…
  • Just small bit of news... I was browsing commercial real estate listings and it seems that they are proposing to add 10,200 sq ft of retail space onto the first floor of One Michigan Ave. They don't have any renderings or details, but this would …
  • I'm glad to hear that the court resolved this issue quickly. Now I'll be patiently awaiting the groundbreaking.

  • I am in support of requiring a said amount of local labor on a project (not 100% though, as some projects may require a small number of highly specialized workers that may not be available locally). I also support requiring that all workers be paid …

  • This wouldn't be on the site of the ice rink. The ice rink would be right behind where the picture was taken from. I'm assuming this is the result of the sculpture contest earlier this year. Here is a story on the sculpture from City Pulse: The r…
  • This is great news. I hope that IBM continues to grow their Lansing presence. I do agree that the location for the new MSUFCU branch is odd, their is almost nothing in the surrounding area.
  • Wow the preliminary design costs $55 million? That's enough to build a pretty big building. I know they said this thing was going to cost $550 million, but I got a feeling it's going to cost closer to $1 billion.
  • About the art museum, I'm wondering if some of the walls will be pre-cast. There's a place, near the NE corner of Aurelius & I-96 that has had a crane up for awhile building something. When I took the time to look back there, I seen a tall skinn…
  • I too am keeping my fingers crossed, but in the back of my mind I sorta doubt we'll get it. If someplace in Michigan does get the fiber I bet it will be Ann Arbor or Grand Rapids.
  • I agree that there are probably better things to spend money on than renovating cafeterias and dorms, especially to the degree that they're renovating them. I'm not sure what the money should be spent on though, as I don't really know what MSU has a…

  • The Knapp's project has failed to receive a brownfield grant for the project: Knapp's redevelopment project on hold in Lansing Now because of the lack of a $2 million grant the Eyde's are acting as if the project may not happen. I personally thin…
  • Did you ever hear if there is going to be a commercial component to the project? Also, I was looking at satellite pictures trying to figure out exactly where this complex is at. Is it at the end of Hannah or is it on that plot of land that's sorta a…
  • There's a new, 220 unit student apartment complex being built off of Hannah Blvd. I hadn't heard of this project before now, but they're saying that it will have a neighborhood feel: New off-campus MSU student housing aiming for 'neighborhood feel'
