Meh is exactly my thought. $520 million on equipment is all well and good, but I doubt it really means much for the area other than that GM probably isn't leaving in the near future.

I'm anxious to hear what this is. They're making it sound as if it's something quite a bit bigger than any of the recent announcements. Bernero's quoted as sayings GM's "doubling down" on Lansing. It almost lends hope to another plant altogether out…

My first guess would also be a fast food place, but I don't know what else we could expect to go on Cedar St. Maybe another place from down the street getting a new building or one of the new-to-town chains setting up on the southside. I'm really gl…

I'm pretty sure it'd be a simple majority. I'm glad to see them making this common sense change as requiring a supermajority for something so unimportant seems silly.

At least it's the nicest design yet. It doesn't look there's any lap siding in these renderings and the colored areas may actually be tile, it looks like there's good quality materials all around.

LSJ is a little late, WILX had this back in January: Sparrow unveils plans for new cafeteria. The LSJ story does have more info though, like the square footage and a completion date. I'd be surprised if they kept the basement cafeteria around aft…

Seeing that field at Ferris Park put to any productive use will be nice, I really wish they'd rebuild that block of Chestnut Street though. It's also good to see the Capitol being maintained. I'm still anxious to see what happens with the welcome…

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…
