I'm pretty certain that it won't be a fast food restaurant or anything like that, I doubt one would even be allowed in G-1. I'm sure whatever goes here couldn't be too small scale, I remember the asking price for the property was something like $1.5…

A sorta feel good article from the LSJ: What's next for Michigan Avenue? The only thing really of note is the level of confidence in Ferguson's quote regarding Red Cedar Renaissance, he said: “We’re good to go”,“We’ve got a strong project.” It's …

Yeah, I was talking about some of the old North Campus buildings along Grand River Ave that have had their exteriors restored over the past several years. I noted them because I think they did a really good job with them.
-
I haven't paid much attention, did they do anything with the outside of Demonstration Hall or just the interior? I would really like the exteriors of both buildings be rehabbed to the same quality as some of those old buildings on Grand River that t…

Breslin looks likely to be getting $28 million in upgrades soon: Michigan State considering $33 million in upgrades to Breslin Center, Daugherty Football Building. Also, an LSJ article on the upgrades at MSU: Munn Ice Arena on track for major upg…

The LSJ did another article on the Knapp's Building as it nears completion, it includes a video showing off the building in addition to the gallery they already had up: Renovated Knapp's Centre opens for business, prepares for grand opening There…

I'm glad there is some serious discussion of this, it would be great to have more transit options: MDOT to study rail line that would connect Grand Rapids, Lansing, Detroit

Yup, there is plenty of land, underused buildings and surface lots in and around downtown East Lansing, I can't imagine why they'd consider selling any park. If anything, it'd be nice to see the park get some improvements, I don't know EL too well b…

I forgot to post this before, but WILX had a close up rendering of the temporary/boutique casino in one of their stories a week or so ago:

@david_shane The only other things I could think of trying would be finding out the general contractor and asking them, persuing the architect further or just digging deep into Google or the various photo sites hoping to find something. As for th…

Someone over at SSP asked about office vacancy rates which prompted me to go look up the most recent ones from CBRE. Downtown Lansing has an almost crazy low 3.2% class A vacancy rate, though I don't think that included Knapps as the report is from …

I remember TechSmith now. I'm kinda glad they didn't build their headquarters there, maybe when the time comes they actually will move downtown.
-
I've heard of TechSmith before, do you know about how many employees they have? About Spartan Internet, has anyone heard what's going on with their Holmes St School headquarters? I thought the project was dead awhile ago, but a little over a year…

They haven't been totally clear, but from what I understand the project is totally ready to go from the city's point of view. I assume that stadium renovations will begin when baseball's over. As for The Outfield project, they said it will be ready …

It's great to see a sizable company relocate there. This reminds again that I need to get down there and take some pictures or at least walk by to get a look up close, I'm still impressed every time I drive by. It's still sinking in that the Knapps …

I'm guessing the area at the corner that says "NIC" is where the hotel will go. It seems like a fairly small footprint so I'd imagine it will either be a small hotel or, more likely, a relatively tall building for the area.
-
It certainly adds to the momentum, I'm interested to see what the next steps are for both sides.

This talk as got me thinking of the most likely project to be announced next and the only one I can think of on the horizon is Gillespie's property at Larch and Michigan. I know the proposal was last known to be 3-4 floors, but that was preliminary.…
-
I wouldn't doubt it, especially if Gillespie were the developer (he could easily have a deal with National City for their building). It'd be wise for him or anyone else to capitalize on the future Red Cedar development as much as they can before pro…

I would love to see infill also, but I believe a high-rise would do so much for morale, it would prove the market to developers, banks and residents. Tall buildings have always been symbolic of prosperity, they're truly a sign of a healthy real esta…
