  • I wondering if you forgot that or were talking about something else lol A friend who's a CATA employee said there were rumors of the CATA offices going in the LSJ building, not directly from anyone of authority though. I think @citykid mentioned …
  • What about the 425 S Grand Lot? Besides the new City Hall you mean?
  • UofM Sparrow ups the ante on their hostility towards this community: https://www.lansingcitypulse.com/stories/um-sparrow-ends-talks-with-group-that-wants-to-preserve-old-eastern-high-school,106432
  • Things have been slow in East Lansing development-wise but they're still moving forward with putting together an RFP process on the Evergreen properties. The LSJ has a story today with relatively little new information but it does confirm that the …
  • All the more disappointing that there's local developers actually willing to take the project on and they're being snubbed. And yeah, throughout my arguments with people on Reddit I was referring to Walter French, Holmes St and Cedar St schools a…
  • Yeah, there's been so many buildings restored/renovated that have been abandoned for years and decades; buildings with caved-in roofs, fire damage, important missing details, crumbling exteriors, etc... There's no way they can look at me with a stra…
  • Disappointing to hear about the Hillsdale project but it is what it is at this point I suppose. Sparrow/UofM are making silly statements about Eastern, justifying its destruction because of a lack of air conditioning along with out dated electric…
  • One of my parents grew up in a house on Clemens with an adu older than the main house, it's still in the family and rented out. I wonder if it's one the ones you've found? I always thought it was a cool setup.
  • @citykid shared the information awhile back.
  • The housing commission bought the old LSJ parking lot south of the MBA building on Grand for their phase two. https://maps.app.goo.gl/VDAgCKhhSKoR4sNP7
  • Grabbed a few pics of construction on the east side of town: A section of newly paved Michigan Ave: The fountains in Michigan Ave median are finally working! In fact all the water features throughout the Red Cedar development and Ranney Pa…
  • I finally snapped some pictures on my my way through out there, I'll add them shortly. I didn't take any pictures at the bridge through as it was swarming with workers doing landscaping and finishing touches. I can't imagine the construction fencing…
  • I just see it listed as "Preservation Nonprofit Housing Corp", how'd you figure out that company's name? Looks like the housing commission still owns the lot a block south, I'd imagine the reason they're two different projects is just funding relate…
  • A City Pulse story on the WLNS fencing request: https://www.lansingcitypulse.com/stories/wlns-tv-seeks-to-add-barbed-wire-fencing-at-its-saginaw-street-headquarters,105372 I forgot to mention my disdain for this proposal in my previous post. If …
  • Ah, gotcha. I was confused there. Although they're generally inoffensive, it's always a little hard for me to get too excited about mostly glass buildings tbh. I do very much like the green brick along with the interior common areas and I couldn't a…
  • I think one you say you like best is the top rendering? The Health Education building? I certainly don't hate that one, it's fairly similar to the most recent 5-floor building that went up at South Campus so it seems they're going for a particular l…
  • The site plan shown for the public safety building is different than the rendering released before. I also am even more disappointed in the front parking lot now that they've included a ramp. Why not ditch the front parking lot altogether? It's real…
  • I can only imagine how the current Michigan Ave rehab would've went with Lansing Township controlling a few blocks. I had naively thought that the city and township had somehow managed to work together, I guess cooperation (thankfully) wasn't requir…
  • There's new renderings for two of MSU's three major upcoming projects and a sort of rendering for Digital Innovation Center, which I thought was the furthest along funding-wise. Anyway, here they are: Health Education Building https://ipf.msu.ed…
  • It came to my attention that Capitol Region Community Foundation has more details and a site plan for the proposed Fish Ladder Music Park that the state appropriated $1.7 million for last year (I think?), the total cost is estimated at $2.3 million.…
