For steaks downtown there are few choices, I've heard Troppo is good and the Knight Kap is great (at least before the new owner), but both are fairly expensive. I don't eat seafood, so I can't really offer any help there. For BBQ I've heard nothing…

Good, I've bee anxious to see what his plans are, especially since Emil's announced that they were closing. Here's to hoping for a nice 3-4 floor building at Michigan and Clemens...

To me it's more indicative how low LCC's budget than anything else, especially given the number of students they serve. It's also always good to keep in mind how much money a university like Michigan State makes off of football and basketball, MS…

I'm betting those panels are for the parking garage, as of last night they already have two of the pre-cast vertical columns up. The ramp's going to be a little taller and closer to the road than I anticipated, both positives in my book.

The plans for Breslin's renovation are moving forward: MSU board approves renovation, expansion of Breslin Center New renderings:

My best guess is that maybe this will include some sort of student art gallery? I could definitely do without the current building, but this new design could easily turn out really good or really bad depending on workmanship and materials. LCC ne…

I was just by the site and they have razed the rest of the building at the corner. Now I'm wondering which building they're supposed to be saving part of, or have plans changed?

There's a two floor office building at the northwest corner of Capitol & Genesee that LCC bought in 2012. It looks very different now:

LCC will be doing a major renovation on 505 N Capitol at the northwest corner of Capitol & Genesee: LCC plans veterans resource center The design is certainly interesting here, I'd like to see how it'll look in person. No real timeline is giv…

I could see the dealership being allowed to keep old buildings in some cases, they can probably even design their own buildings with approval. Anyways, I'm just going off of memory as I think the brownfield plan was in the "Letters from the Mayor" s…
-
I mentioned it when their brownfield proposal came up. If I remember right from reading through the packet, they're going to keep the front portion of the old building they're tearing down at the corner and build onto it. I think they'll also be bui…

I haven't seen the exterior lighting on City Hall, but you have me curious about it now. As far as southwest Lansing goes, they could do wonders just by doing something with the Holmes & Pleasant Grove intersection. The old school there could…

Yeah, that makes sense. It reminds of how close we're getting to seeing Red Cedar Renaissance get going, I wonder if everything is still on schedule for a spring start?

I think I'd second the idea of the county taking over the River Trail, they've already shown they're pretty good at running parks. It's becoming an increasingly regional system anyways, it may as well be operated and paid for regionally. At S Was…

Everything I went back and skimmed through said either a fall or November start, including an August 5th LSJ article. What article said spring 2016?

I'd be very interested in seeing what a primarily residential development in that area would look like. I'd think that something primarily made up of townhouse/single family units with some 2-3 floor mixed use buildings would be perfect.
-
There are renderings of the old proposals for this property here: 7 Block Development The news that there has been activity there is interesting, especially given the low office vacancy rate downtown. There's a lot to speculate on, but I'd imagin…

Yeah the Deluxe Inn concept was mentioned recently and I dug up the rendering to repost a few pages ago. Here it is:
-
As far as I know, the larger building to the left in the new rendering is at best conceptual, or even something just thrown in the background by Studio Intrigue. If they do build on the lots around the rowhouse style buildings I hope that they rehab…

This is a small two floor, likely single user office building taking up only a fraction of the site that would fit well along any suburban corridor. What was proposed before was a four floor mixed use building that took up most of the site, it had a…
