@Ponceybaby First of all welcome to the forum, I share your frustrations and agree with you on your premise that our local politicians and business leaders have long suffered from a lack of vision, perhaps with the exception of Mayor Hollister, who…

I haven't seen any mention of what it may be used for, but I also don't know where that sort of information might be available.

I missed these posts... @MichMatters I think he's referring to the main computer rooms moving to the new data center. I've heard no plans of tearing the computer center down and it's not one of the buildings listed for demolition in the master pl…

Greater Lansing Business Monthly has an article on this project along with a rendering showing it in relation to Park District: Center City District development- Ushering in a new era for East Lansing

I'm still pretty surprised that they want to demo Giltner Hall, even if it is currently in poor condition. Given the setting of north campus I'd imagine they'd want to save all the older buildings that they can. It's the only building on that list t…

I don't want to be a downer here, but I'd rather not see houses like that built in Lansing neighborhoods. I agree, the inside looks nice and I don't mind simple housing, but this has a post foundation and plywood for siding. It looks like a hunting …

They mention the demolition of ramp 2 as a near term goal, it also says that they plan on restoring the Red Cedar's floodplain at the site while on the future use map it shows a "special feature" there, described as a "possible amphitheater/stage". …

The complete 2017 MSU Master Plan Update is now available: 2017 MSU Master Plan Update - pdf. There's a lot of vague info on possible future buildings, additions and renovations; but what I find most interesting are some of the major potential de…

No, not totally empty, but the largest chunk of the space in the middle has never been occupied. The state was close to leasing all the available space in that building within the past few years and apparently the deal fell through essentially becau…

Some background... Back before Hepler turned the old Prudden building into Motor Wheel Lofts there were a couple of old warehouse buildings near the Oakland side of the site, they had a fire at some point and were abandoned for awhile before bein…

One thing to note out of the April 24th Council packet is that Summit Street Development is requesting a special land use permit for the land south of Oakland, north of May St, west of Prudden and east of the RR tracks (this is where the apartments …

Here's a rendering of the new Interdisciplinary Science and Technology building: There was also a story in the LSJ last week about the new Broad Business College expansion: $62M MSU business school expansion aims for Google vibe

Looking at them I'm pretty sure the they're both from roughly the same angle, the second one having a wider view and a slightly different design. The first rendering seemed a little unrefined, I didn't really like it too much, I think the newer one …

That's some absolutely great news about the population growth, hopefully it's a trend that accelerates. I'm really interested to see what the 2020 census has in store, it'll be interesting to see some concrete and detailed figures.

I can't think of too many storefronts on Washington Sq that have been vacant that long, I know the old Michigania at the SW corner of Washington & Michigan has, the Hallmark store may have been closed that long also. Any others? I've been ver…

I don't think traffic lights hanging from wires is that uncommon. Besides, I don't really have a problem with lights hung on wires in areas where there are already overhead wires anyways. However, as I've said before, I do want to see utilities buri…

I guess at this point there's not much more to say other than that this will be a pretty big project. The only hint it gives about the specific location is that the development will take up two lots that total 46k sq ft. My money's on this being at …

This is a great project from everything I can see. It will take away the largest surface lot in downtown EL, add more non-student housing and more high quality retail, I'm happy with the scale of the project and I'm ok with the buildings it will be …

As always, just about any incremental step towards regionalism is a good thing. BTW, I think a thread dedicated to regionalism news and discussion might be a good idea.

A grocery store of any size downtown is not a mutually exclusive prospect, it can happen or not happen with or without a casino or anything else being built. Regarding the Lansing Center, I've grown to feel that seeing it replaced entirely would be …
