Looks like MSU has finalized the design for their new Multicultural Center to be located at the NE corner of Farm & Shaw. It'll be 34k sq ft and cost $38 million, groundbreaking will be this spring with completion in fall of 2024: https://www…

Similar square footage absolutely could be built on a much smaller (although still large) site, it's not crazy, it's just not what these corporations are looking for and the competition for their investments is too fierce to try to dictate too many …

I have to ask what developed area are you talking about? What 1,000 acre+ site would you find more appropriate? Or would you rather pass on any of these massive projects that require a so called mega site? The Eagle site isn't even particularly f…

Well they could be residential, the clean up would just be about twice as much. Actually got to talk on the phone with the rep for those properties a year or so ago, he said in no way do they at all expect residential but there's nothing technically…

The RACER sites on the west side are only about 230 acres, so not even in the ballpark of comparable. Even then there's no desire for creative site planning or dealing with those sorts of constraints on the part of these companies that have multiple…

This article has a very interesting bit of info if true: Meanwhile, in December, Intel was listed by the state as Clinton County’s top job-poster, with 225 openings. Unclear is what drove that. “There are no new projects in Michigan that we are…

Moved to new thread

@gbdinlansing Sort of. The area where the swimming area would go is labeled as "potential future phase" in the site/floor plans.
-
Yeah, only about four blocks though, looks like just the southern two blocks Orchard and Kedzie St fall within both boundaries. It's an odd historic district anyway, I'd hope the city reconsiders its status as time goes on.

Yeah, it is replacing IM west. I don't know if I've ever seen square footage or dollar figures although they may have been in a news story at some point, I've posted several iterations of renderings courtesy of the MSU IPF page. Here's a link to the…

EL is considering making part of the Bailey Neighborhood a testbed for a new form-based code. It certainly sounds like a positive to me, I've long hoped to see EL be a little more friendly to redevelopment of some the student oriented single family …

There's now start a start date for the new MSU IM building of September 2023 and an estimated completion of early 2026, along with a new rendering: There's also still a few other significant projects in the pipeline with no renderings or specif…

@citykid To repeat Jared, Welcome. Thanks for the info. I like the things Hepler has done, I just wish he did more. IMO the delay in the proposals for the Prudden parking lots may not be so bad anyhow, I was always hoping to see it split into a c…

Good to know. Hopefully he moves a little quicker with these properties than he has with the revolving proposals for his parking lots.
-
That's a positive sign, I think that commercial building directly to the west was for sale recently as well. I wonder if Hepler is involved?
-
One way to fix that exit would be to route the Saginaw exit diagonally under Homer to come up on its right side for the turn at Saginaw. Certainly not a cheap undertaking but I feel something like that will necessary some day.
-
I'm very, very glad to hear of that approval. If that building happens and is close to what was shown in the renderings I think it will be a huge boon for that area.

@Lymon89 I saw the same thing. I also had basketball court as my first guess and had the came complaint that they're putting too much in what is supposed to be a more formal urban park. I get the park is underutilized and maybe some of this is ne…

I saw that, it has the potential to be something really significant. I'm hoping for something non-automotive though. Aerospace, pharmaceutical, renewable energy or chip manufacturing would be nice to see.

I'm somewhat of a preservationist and I'd argue none of the houses on that stretch of Willow are worthy of preservation besides the Head Start building. That being said I'd prefer to see mid or high rises here and not small apartment buildings, hope…
