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…

Yeah, I don't necessarily expect the Consumers site be redeveloped too quickly without a concerted effort on the city's part. I imagine whoever develops the property will probably want to buy the apartments in front there and tear them down. I al…

I'm not mad at all to see that Consumers Facility move off of Willow. It may not be great in the short term as you lose the extra workers in the area but it offers a really significant redevelopment opportunity that could help change the fate of tha…

I agree that neither of this are terribly exciting. Regarding the project on Michigan, if a company wants to reuse a building like that for the HQ that's fine and all but it's probably not worthy of property tax credits. I think property tax credits…

I'm hoping the Michigan & Marshall thing ends up being another apartment/mixed-use building, it'd seem pretty logical. Both properties are owned by Michigan Certified Development Corp on Coolidge Rd, but that doesn't provide much insight. I m…

Yeah, nice to see those pics. Not a lot too special in the building but the old generator hall seems like a nice even if relatively plain space.
-
I do hope they offer some tours of the building when it shuts down, I'll have to force myself to not miss the opportunity if so. All the above being said, I really do believe that a large scale entertainment complex, in particular a large and wel…

Yeah, after looking into it a bit more it looks like the existing Neogen management will be taking the lead in this venture despite being the minority shareholder. I'm still wondering if Neogen is the company that Gillespie spoke of wanting to possi…

Steel is going up at the Ultium battery plant: https://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/money/business/2022/09/07/2-6-billion-lansing-battery-cell-plant-ultium-cells-construction/65857622007/?fbclid=IwAR0DuFeCK2FAxL0N4rinLmqKTuTEbD_27Dd52PsI5FEdFru…

Not entirely unexpected, someone from the county was quoted saying they were going to attempt an expedited appeal. We'll see, I guess.

It's definitely a challenging project but may not be as bad or at least any worse than the Ottawa Plant, at least on a per sq ft basis. The only portion of the building that they need to be careful with is the old power house closer to river, the ta…

That's a good point that pinning more threads could be counterproductive, I guess I'm neutral on that one.
-
That's a truly impressive project, I remember hearing about some years ago and it's nice to see it come to fruition. That being said I don't think the Eckert plant makes a good site for residential or even office space. Due to the isolated site I th…

Continued from here so as to not muck up that thread:http://develop.metrolansing.com/discussions/discussion/2/general-lansing-development/p454 @MichMatters I agree that there should be a cutoff somewhere but I do think that something like the Neo…

Very good to hear. @MichMatters @Jared I was thinking... Should we get back into the habit of making more individual threads for projects?? I've noticed it's gotten sorta hard to look back on things and conversations in the general development th…

The hotels are being built because the room occupancy rate is above the threshold at which people are willing to invest in hotels (at least it was whenever they were financed), I believe it's around 60% per articles on hotel construction in the area…
