I see now... I am surprised that Gillespie Group emailed me back. They've never even responded to my inquiries about their own projects, but they respond when I ask about a project that's not even theirs. Go figure.

I haven't seen seen what you're talking about, but it certainly sounds odd. I hope that if they feel there's that great of a need for the added security that they find a more permanent, nicer looking alternative to painted plywood. BTW, I sent an…

I forget when the development agreement said construction had to start, but I remember that the date was reliant on when the new City Market was completed (maybe it was within 12-18 months of completion?) I just hope this project doesn't end up …

Coalition pushes for casino in Lansing This is a story on the push for a Lansing casino. It really doesn't offer much new information, I'm still hopeful that this happens, but this effort may be getting thrown together too quickly to be successfu…

I doubt that they would have too much trouble getting the clearance needed. It only needs to be one or two feet higher, much of that could probably be gained by thinner girders. I do hope that date for rebuilding holds up though, that bridge is in p…

I just noticed a listing for this building: This a proposal by Gillespie to build a 3 floor mixed-use building at 1621 E Michigan Ave, at the NE corner of Shepard and Michigan, where the old gas station is. "New Mixed-use building with first…

I just found a section on EL's website with tons of info on their grant application to replace the Amtrack station. Here's the site: East Lansing - Tiger Here are some renderings and a site plan: I forgot what happened to this, I tho…

Just think if some of the Boys Training school buildings were left, they would of been great for reuse. Here's a picture of the main building:

I was disappointing to see the way Pruess' left the front of their building, I think all they did was power wash the brick and paint the wood over the windows. I'd have liked to see windows where there were windows before and some exterior lighting …

It really sucks to see the Temple Club project on hold. I would really like to see Old Towns influence spread in all directions, but I'd especially like to see it go east. You bring up an interesting point that the ORCA may be undermarketing that ea…

I would say the casinos have helped Detroit both economically and socially, although I would try to use Detroit or it's casinos as a benchmark for Lansing. I think that a casino would actually help more here than in Detroit. I think of the key benef…

Do you remember what the last start date he gave was? I thought he was saying spring or summer. Anyways, he could still offer parking on that site even while construction is going on. From my understanding the first phase of the project will only…

Casino Lansing? It looks like there's a new effort to bring a casino to Lansing, this time it appears to be a more locally oriented drive. I've wanted to see a casino in downtown Lansing for awhile now, so any effort is welcome news to me. I'm…

I'm not sure as to a specific timeline, but I'm pretty sure they plan on installing it sometime this spring/summer.

Here's an LSJ article from today discussing the sculpture that's going on the riverfront, near the City Market: Sculpture planned to embellish Lansing riverfront

Has anyone else seen the Peckham warehouse that they're building out on North Grand River? It's about halfway between Waverly and 96, next door to Wolverton. The structure is almost complete and it's looking like a pretty big place, at least 200k sq…

My biggest disappointment is realizing that so many projects were dead in the water. The ones that I most wanted to see succeed were Capitol Club and The Lenawee. The biggest success story in my eyes would have to be the Broad Art Museum beginnin…

Anyone notice that a new restaurant is in Troppo's old spot? I think it's called Edmund's. I don't know if they've been mentioned yet, but 621 has reopened and the Grand Traverse Pie Co is opening up on the ground floor if the Landmark Building.

It's really sad that the credit market is in the pits. If it weren't for that most of the projects proposed over the several years would of likely happened, and would have resulted in more projects. I just hope this economy begins turning around soo…

I surprised at the CBD class A vacancy rate. 6.1% is a fairly healthy vacancy rate for even good times, with thing's the way they are now 6.1% is great.
