I still wish they'd post a proper rendering somewhere, all I've seen is the bit you can see on the banner and I'm not even sure that's what is actually being built. Regardless, I've been glad to see this building go up, it's very near my house.

The stage is being set for something to happen, I wouldn't be surprised to see a merge talked about by somebody that matters at some point. The Heights is just an odd thing, it's the densest part of Eastwood and it's an island way out on the edge…

...Things continue to come apart at the seems for Lansing Twp, Eyde is now suing them. It's not an unexpected development, but it's really piling on at this point: https://www.fox47news.com/news/state/lansing-township-backed-the-heights-at-eastwood-…

Agreed, even a little greenspace is an improvement over solid asphalt but they really need trees in these things along with some other plants. It probably wouldn't hurt to add some decorative fencing or boulders around them as well as the sides look…

lol Yeah, those rain gardens look pretty goofy right now. I'm not wrong in my assumption that they are going to do plantings in all these along with in Ranney Park, am I?

@MichMatters I've looked and can find nothing on it, I assume it must have been part of that $4.8 billion bill that included $500 million for parks? If they end up taking out the parking lots west of the Ottawa and Hannah buildings then it will be a…

The ineptitude of Lansing Township officials continues, they are struggling to refund some overpaid taxes by Wal Mart and Sam's Club, the county is having to step in and help. I find this sort of amusing: https://www.lansingcitypulse.com/stories/…

This presentation on the upcoming I-496 project was shared with me, I thought it may be of interest:

I have nothing to complain about here. The Penn side of the new surgical center isn't as bad as I thought it would be, at least it's built up relatively close to the street and the design is bland but unoffensive.

Perhaps, I just find it odd that he's casually throwing around two drastically different concepts that both happen to be company headquarters. I'm also really curious who's considering the 40k sq ft building there, maybe Neogen? I'm racking my brain…

Gillespie is claiming he has two prospective tenants who are both interested in having a corporate HQ on Larch just south of Shiawassee on a combination of land he owns and that he hopes to buy from the city. He says one tenant would reuse the exist…

A move to Lake Lansing wouldn't be the worst idea for the Michigan Princess although I'd hate to see the city lose the boat. I wouldn't mind either of those uses for the fish ladder, I particularly like the idea of using it as an amphitheater. I jus…

I'm all for replacing the dams with rock rapids if they can keep it passable for boaters, it'd sorta suck if the Michigan Princess couldn't operate anymore though. At the North Lansing Dam I would like to see the fish ladder and attached dam structu…
-
@lansplant Yeah, I just don't even know what to say about it anymore. It's been painful to see just enough positive things happening to give real hope for Lansing's future yet never turning the corner so to speak. I will say, with all the new indust…

The MSUFCU HQ's precast elevator shaft is interesting to me, I don't think I've ever seen that done before. I assume the rest of the building will be more traditional concrete or steel, at first I was wondering if the whole building would be built l…
-
Yeah, I don't know what to make of the numbers but it's difficult to argue with statistics. I still believe that an increase in housing going to MSU students, who often aren't going to report that residence on the Census, is part of it. There's also…

@MichMatters I'm seeing a 16.6% growth rate for the Lansing metro area from 2010-2020 in Wikipedia, they're showing a lower population (464k vs 534k) for 2010 than other sources. Do you know if the counties included in the MSA changed? I'm not su…

In some interesting news a study has found that the Lansing metro area is growing at a faster rate than any other in the Midwest: https://www.lansingcitypulse.com/stories/study-pegs-lansing-among-fastest-growing-cities-in-midwest,19831

A follow-up story from the City Pulse: https://www.lansingcitypulse.com/stories/downtown-arts-venue-breaks-through-to-daylight,19778 Not much more in the way of details but they do try to explain how they got to this point of such a severely down…

@MichMatters That would be a complete non starter for me. I actually would give up on this city if that were to become a reality.
