I'd love to know at what price point retail space in a new mid rise or 5-over-1 becomes viable. A lot of times developers of new buildings are picky about their commercial tenants which is part of it, another reason is that developers and real estat…

How could they identify demand when there's nothing on Grand Ave and no similar space has been built anywhere downtown west of the river? I don't think looking at COVID-era retail vacancy rates are much use either. Not to mention that between City V…

I do hope that there's at least some modest changes to the design. I also really wish they would've included at least a small retail space in the building to the south.

I vaguely remember that little spot the museum had, it's not the kind of expansion I'm hoping for in the future but it was a neat place. I'd love to see them get a sizable old industrial building someday. I think that smaller performance space at…

Eastwood and especially Frandor have a lot of the every day needs kind of stuff, not as new and pretty as some other areas but it's all there. I don't think people don't need a big draw next door, they need every day convenience. Michigan Ave's sorr…

@Lymon89 If you assume that Lansing area of the future grows as fast as the Lansing area of the last 50 years then probably no reason at all. If the area is to grow then the Eastside is situated centrally in the metro with great access to freeways, …

@citykid The development status page would be fantastic to have. I hope you guys can make it happen. I'd love to see the entire eastside south of Michigan become all rowhouses and low rise apartment buildings. Maybe in a few decades after Michiga…

I forgot that Boarshead was more than just a theater, I never was in there. This city needs more of that kind of stuff. I wouldn't have wanted to see an art museum/center lumped in with Ovation but I do hope that someone with the city or the loca…

You make a good point, they probably would be better suited for Old Town. It'd be nice to have something of an art scene downtown as well but perhaps that's just not in the cards right now.

I'm a little disappointed in the CATA move. I hate to see a half block of Washington frontage taken up for an institutional use, especially right across from Ovation. In the absence of a mid/high rise going on the site, I think the existing building…

The Lansing Art Gallery is going through some financial troubles: https://www.lansingcitypulse.com/stories/lansing-art-gallery-suspends-operations-over-financial-problems,109479 I guess I can only blame myself as I've never been to the Lansing A…

I have to imagine that whatever is shown in a week or so will be significantly better than what we saw previously. They're actually spending a decent amount of money for a venue of this size so there should be some room in the budget to make it nice…

Apparently the city has a new design for The Ovation that will roll out on the 16th, along with a new start date for construction: Fall 2025. Why is there yet another year+ of delay even though the architect and construction manager were selected al…

I switched things around a little and created a table of contents thread. Let me know if there's anything that anyone doesn't like or if anyone has any suggestions to add threads/local links

LSJ has a story on the projects from the most recent board agenda, not really much additional information but worth a look: https://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/local/campus/2024/09/06/michigan-state-university-trustees-new-sports-arena/7…

I just unstickied and restickied the EL and Lansing threads. Maybe doing a stickied table of contents-style thread linking to all the suburban development and neighborhood threads would be a better option? Possibly still leave the Off Topic or Ne…
