  • I really can't be too sure where exactly this will be, but I'm thinking it will be on that land north of the ballbark where the city garage is and maybe where City Market is. I'll be patiently waiting to see "all the details" tomorrow... Also, th…
  • This from the upcoming city council meeting's agenda: "Obsolete Property Rehabilitation Act (OPRA) District Application filed by The Gillespie Company, L.L.C. on behalf of Michigan Avenue Investors, LLC for property located at 1609-1615 E. Michig…
  • Yes, and 50' from the street is much closer than any street in that rendering, it's about the same setback that Constitution Hall has. That photo is looking from the northeast, towards the southwest. Even at only five floors, the roof should be at a…
  • They definately got their directions mixed up (I it's supposed to be looking towards southwest, not from the southwest), at 50 ft the setback shouldn't be much more than that of Constitution Hall. It still sucks, but with the last rendering of this …
  • Another story on the project in LSJ: Security to buffer state police HQ The new design looks a lot better, but still mediocre and the site layout looks like it will keep with far setbacks and security, security, security.
  • Eastwood is served by Lansing sewers, Lansing was making a big deal over Lansing Twp wanting to install new streets because of capacity issues. I don't know what's happened to the JC Penny, WILX reported that one was on its way, but that no schedule…
  • I tried to use my phone to comment, obviously it didn't work too well. Jared can you fix that?
  • Theres never been a solid timeline as far as I know. Also, they are moving along on the facade, using styrofoam.
  • Yeah I find people who complain like that laughable. Especially in an area like that, a mediocre neighborhood of nicer, newer houses. Property owners there stand to benifit a lot from this development, this might be the push this neighborhood needs …
  • And if you haven't already posted your images online I suggest photobucket, however most people use flickr.
  • Oh, your right. However I have always hoped to see a future expansion under Aurelius into Crego Park. As you said there is also public land on the North and South, but also a nice sized private lot at Aurelius & MT. Hope that I think would serve…
  • Finally after years nothing happening, potter park may be expanding accross Aurelius in the somewhat near future, and some much needed improvements are coming soon:Much ahead in zoo overhaul
  • Last I heard the developers were hoping to have the parking ramp deal sealed to begin contruction of the towers foundation before the end of this year. They would then begin pre-selling condos and begin above-ground construction after a certain port…
  • In the City council agenda for this Monday there is something about a proposed development on the west end of Hunters Ridge. They are planning 123 detached condos. This would be the largest development of single family homes in the city in a long ti…
  • I don't really think it looks that bad. BTW, Abood Properties the developer of West Village is proposing condos on the site just north of here.
  • Actually Engler, a republican, pushed a lot harder to get the MSP HQ built than Grandholm has. Engler was holding votes literally his last day in office to try to push it through, that was for the joint headquarters that was slated to be as large as…
  • Some new EL apartments DTN Clears Way For $3 Million East Lansing Development
  • I'm going to hold my opinion on this until it's done, I just hope they at least replace the ground floor windows.
  • Just recently they put up the first piece of the trim between the first and second floor and it looks great, also they installed some of that fence looking stuff on the roof, I heard that facade construction is suposed to be done in November, then t…
  • I've been keeping an eye on all this construction and I'm really looking forward to seeing the streetscaped Michigan Ave and reopened N Washington, from what I can tell it will look really nice. The same thing goes for that 5 floor building, I'm sup…
