I haven't seen a site plan. When they mentioned that they were planning a larger development later on I kinda figured they'd do something shoddy in the meantime. Hopefully they at least make the parking lot look nice and their office/hotel developme…

It serves the developer well also as those meetings essentially act as brainstorming sessions and marketing focus groups in one. If I were a developer I'd want all the ideas and opinions I could get, even if I choose to ignore all of them in the end.

As difficult as a might be to reuse, I have a feeling it won't be empty for too long. Seeing who ends up reusing it and how should be interesting though.

I've never been in there, but it sounds like the interior is unique throughout the building. I hope that someone can make use of it as is, I can't imagine who would though. Maybe a large law firm?
-
It would certainly make sense to to build the apartment building in conjunction with or after completion of the renovations. Everything I've heard so far says that the apartments will be ready by the Lugnuts opening day in 2016, but maybe they'll ju…

I was under the impression that the apartment building was going to be built after next season. Is that not the case?

To get a four floor building, spanning an entire block and built out the the street is great, the fact that it's going in a relatively off the beaten path area of downtown makes it better. My only gripe is with the vinyl siding and cinder block-like…

The central city could use few hotels and one near Sparrow wouldn't be a bad idea at all. I know the subjects been beat to death, but I still can't understand for the life of me how downtown or even Michigan Ave hasn't got even a moderately sized ho…

A driveway is the assumption I'd make, but I don't know. It's also odd because the documents also mention that the buildings will be buffered from the neighborhood and that the office building will step down to two floors at the south end. Maybe thi…

Some items from the December 8th City Council packet: -Rezoning of Walter French to F-1 commercial for the purpose of converting "the building at 1900 S. Cedar Street into a mix of commercial, office and multiple family residential uses..." It g…

In looking for renderings of Sparrows new cancer building I found a couple renderings by c2ae labeled as "Hospital Cafeteria": I'm not sure if this is just a concept or something actually in the works but it would make for a nice addition…

I think some domino effect projects have already happened, the Accident Fund headquarters and Knapps are a huge one-two punch landed for downtown, eliminating the last two large empty and outdated buildings downtown. In REO Town the new power plant …

The problem is that it's not really the tall buildings that bring the people, it's all sorts of positive things that go into creating a market where tall buildings are feasible. Lansing doesn't seem to be at that point yet, but I think it's getting …

It seems odd to me that the Senate would accept sharing a building with a private tenant, I'd imagine they'd really like to have the whole building and probably plan on it sooner rather than later. What original plan did the House fail to move on?
-
At first glance I thought the rendering was looking north/northwest at Abbott and Grand RIver also, but looking closer I'm pretty sure it's looking west/southwest with Abbott across the foreground. It looks like a nice building and a good quality…

After looking at the site plan, and watching WILX's video, I'm pretty sure that second rendering is the headquarters building. Site plan from WLNS: I'm liking this project. The townhomes look great, the headquarters looks good and the site p…

MSUFCU is planning a three floor, 185k sq ft addition to their headquarters building: MSUFCU to expand East Lansing headquarters It's great to see them doing well, but it makes all the more disappointing they didn't build this 300,000+ sq ft of o…

Driving by there the other day I was pretty disappointed to see how permanent the parking lot looks. It doesn't give much hope for seeing any development in the near term.

That link says 2013 to 2014 in the body of text and 2014 to 2015 in the header, do you know if this is something that has already happened or is it ongoing?

I'm ready to see this project buried. I don't really know what the best course of action is, but this project has been an epic failure and continues to disappoint after all these years. I'm ready to see Citizen Bank Building razed and the other buil…
