I'd agree that one of the GM site would be ideal for a new power plant, but I can't imagine any reason why it has to be near downtown since the REO Town Plant is providing steam now. No doubt this will be large and important project, as will the red…

I was by the FRIB today and they are already working on the new office buildings foundation and there's a crane on site. FRIB itself has had steel above ground for about a month or so but work on the above ground portions seems to have slowed/stoppe…

I do enjoy digging things like this up, sometimes I wonder if the LSJ or Pulse looks at this site. We have become a pretty good aggregator of Lansing area development information. Seeing the color rendering, this looks like a pretty nice project.…

From the upcoming Council meeting packet (4/13/15): The Ottawa Block rezoning is up for approval. Troppo is proposing to add a 550 sq ft addition to their first floor dining room on the Michigan ave side. There's a liquor license being tran…

Having brick instead of concrete block is a massive improvement. I see the the architect here is Neuman Smith yet the building looks very similar to the Studio [intrigue] designs built be Gillespie. From now on I guess I have to give Gillespie all t…

I'm not sure if the South Washington Park unit number includes the townhomes but I don't think it does, there are only about 20 of them anyways. It says there are 113 efficiencies, 70 one bedrooms and only 5 two bedroom units, explaining the large n…

Yeah, I've been happy with Stonehouses stuff in the past. It's not fantastic but it's a notch above the other new apartments on Grand River, I'd say about on par with or slightly exceeding Stadium District in quality. I read that this new building …

I think these are new, just very similar to the previously revised renderings. I'm all for the more subtle colors, but I'm worried that the quality of materials here will be at the level of Marketplace at best, and that's disappointing. As with just…

I just looked around a bit and came up with these in addition to Fountain Place and Lansing Towers: Motor Wheel Lofts: 119 units Riverfront Towers Senior: 200 units Capitol Commons Senior: 200 units Friendship Manor: 172 Units Somerset Apartm…

I was just by there and noticed it looked like they were working on the elevator towers, or were those already built up a little?

Looks like it will be a pretty nice building.

There's a new six floor, 74,000 sq ft office addition coming for FRIB. MSU Board of Trustees approves FRIB office tower addition

From everything I've seen over the past year or so, I see only good things coming for this city and at an increasing pace to boot. I too have been surprised at the pace of low rise developments along the corridor, but it hardly taps into it's potent…

I had forgotten about that. I'll have to get by there to take a look and see exactly what they've done. Did they tear down any of the old buildings?

In searching for info on the Stonehouse Village project I found another proposed project from the March 25th planning commission meeting. Someone is proposing a four floor, 51 unit building with 1500 sq ft of retail space and parking on the first fl…

565 is the old Taco Bell, Google Maps is off. The property info site says that it's now owned by Stonehouse Village LLC, which makes sense. Hopefully whatever gets built is at least the quality of their other buildings.

It's nice to see the City back in the black. If only there could consistent budget surpluses along with expanded city services for at least few years in a row, and maybe that's not even being overly optimistic at this point. Regardless, Lansing need…

It's better to see the land used than not used, but I'm not thrilled to see a solar farm there. I'm surprised that solar panels are economical in Michigan at all, but I guess with them getting cheaper and more efficient it was going to make sense ev…

Regarding Old Town I was talking about the lot directly at the corner, Sir Pizza may own/lease it but I'm not sure. It's disappointing to see Gillespie offering long term leases on his properties in that area. I was under the impression that if t…

I've wondered what happened to that proposed development, it wouldn't have been anything major but seeing new construction in Old Town would be great. On the subject of Old Town, I really expect to see something go up on the Fish Ladder lot and the…
