It's been a few years since I've been at the downtown library, but I remember it looking pretty dated at the time. I'm sure it needs a renovation that is more extensive than the one it's about to receive though I'm still glad to see it get a refresh…

There's a news story today regarding some renovations to the downtown library, maybe it's related to that? Downtown Lansing Library closing this month for renovations

Maybe I was a pessimist, but I always assumed that Skyview was going to be student housing, I never remember hearing any indication that it would be targeted at anyone else. I do not have a problem offering incentives on student housing, my criteria…

Yeah, a lot of times all I can say is "I agree" also. That's one of the problems with a niche site like this is that I think we all have similar opinions when it comes to the stuff that's discussed here. There's also some times where I don't post be…

Purely anecdotal, but I'm around to the various student apartments fairly often and there is definitely a disproportionate amount of Chinese students living in the newer/higher-end complexes. They are the ones driving the Lamborghini's, Mclaren's, M…

I hate the bluish LED lights, they're ugly and cause health and safety concerns for humans and wildlife. It's possible with current technology to have LED's give off a warmer glow, I'm assuming those bulbs are more expensive or haven't been scaled u…

Well, this is disappointing but not surprising. It really brings me back to my hope that maybe they'd consider building the wall around the substation to look like a building facade, at least where it faces the streets.

@Lymon89 First I have to say I'm truly flattered that you appreciate my idea/design. I've tried to put a fair amount of thought into it and I've tried to be as accurate and realistic as possible without being able to get onsite or see the inside of …

I looked up info about some of the people involved in this: The only thing I could find outside of social media on the "Branoff" in "Branoff-Randle" was this Capital Gains article on the ENSO restaurant he was part owner of. The article gives thi…

The House was the student housing development mentioned in the story above. I was asking about a previous proposal for condos that I vaguely remember, but can't find anything on.

I found this news story from the student housing proposal in 2013: Student Housing Development Proposed for Old Lansing Hotel. I was surprised to see that even then the property had been empty for 14 years. I remember a proposal to turn it into a co…

From the October 24th council packet: Someone is applying for an OPRA certificate for one of (IMO " the") nicest building in Old Town. It sounds like a fairly extensive renovation also: The project is a property owned by Looney Moon, LLC loca…

I was by Grand River & MLK and noticed someone (I assume Peckam) is building a two floor building near the southwest corner. It's not a large building but it's being built fairly close to the street, it seemed prominent when driving north down G…

I think it's safe to assume the Holmes Street School project is completely dead, nothing has happened there in two or three years. I remember the building sitting dormant for a long time when I was surprised to see them putting up steel for the new …

Thanks. The property has at least four owners; QD owns the building at Mt Hope & Washington, Atmosphere Annealing owns their own building, the two floor warehouse that faces Washington is owned by Vlahakis and the railroad tracks are owned by th…

After seeing them painting the old factory at Mt Hope & Washington it reminded me of my imagined redevelopment of it, I decided I'd share my progress. I haven't done much with my model in awhile but I think it's far enough along to get my idea a…

I'm glad to see that building continuing to get attention. I've always though it was a really good example of tastefully reusing an old church.

I was wondering the same thing about the zoning, I have no idea why they wouldn't just rezone. I'm also glad to see development crossing Shiawassee. I do hope that they incorporate at least some retail at Larch & Shiawassee though, it'd be di…

I view the annexation of the section of Lansing Township south of Michigan near 127 as an absolute necessity for Lansing. Virtually that entire portion of the township, including infrastructure, is run down and will have an increasingly negative eff…

I'm content to just see patchwork for now, though it should have been done a year or two ago. Of course if the BRT falls through then the street/sidewalk/streetscaping will still need a full reconstruction. The City Pulse has notices for public h…
