That's quite a hole there making for that small of a building. I'm guessing it's going to have a business?

In this weeks City Council agenda it looks like the approval for the liquor license at the Wild Beaver Saloon is going through, it will also include a sidewalk dining area. There are also several resolutions regarding the old Marshall Street Armo…

An article from Capital Gains: Michigan State University's Case Hall Slated For a $16 Million Renovation It doesn't have any renderings and only limited info, but it sounds like a fairly large project.

I would love to see that northeast corner be a nightclub or restaurant. I know there are already plenty of those in the area, but I think that space would make for a very unique atmosphere. The mezzanine level would really make it nice for a nightcl…

Yes, there was some mention of a small grocery store going into Capitol Club. I was supposed to be some Chicago area chain store.

I would love to see a small grocery store downtown, I don't like L&L in particular though, just my personal opinion. I think downtown could support a small one, it would have to have meats and produce to really be successful though. I see we …

I thought this was a very interesting story: Unlike some cities, Lansing lacks major benefactors I always new that Grand Rapids had a lot of benefactors, but I had no idea that Flint did. Anyways this drives home the point that Lansing is on it's…

Another article on the project from todays LSJ, it's basically just a feel-good article: Newest downtown project spurs excitement, optimism I am glad to here though that class-A office space only has a 6.1% vacancy rate downtown, I think that's p…

The Yellow Cab building is one building that I won't miss regardless of what the lands used for. It's such an ugly, dilapidated building, I think a parking lot or even a grass lot would be an improvement. This also basically guarantees that the site…

A small chunk of news: The city of Lansing has a proposal in this weeks council meeting to buy the Yellow Cab building on Cedar St to raze and turn it into a parking lot. It states that the primary reason for acquiring the property is to facilitate …

I think that building is just office. It was supposed to be renovated into lofts, but I remember hearing that they decided just to make it into offices. It was discussed on one of the forums awhile back, it was called 301 Place. I can find mentions …

If the city is going to own and operate the parking garage, I see no issue with this. The city should profit from it, I know Lansing does quite well on its parking lots and garages.

I did not know that Cooley scooped up those buildings, thats kinda disappointing really. I think they have plenty of room for expansion between their library location and the lot next to the Temple Building, it's probably a sign that they intend to …

I had heard of that parking garage before from my parents. Apparently it was sort of a shoddy building and wasn't around for all that long. Besides that all I know is that it was 8 floors, the discolored line on the side of the Masonic Temple was th…

I'll have to check it out next time I'm by there. I wonder if they've really started construction already? I'm not a big fan of suburban development, but I like it a lot more when it's developments like this one.
-
I don't see $24 million as an unrealistic number for this renovation. As you said the building was fairly recently occupied as an office building and has been maintained. You could almost build a brand new building Knapp's size for $24 million. B…

Seen this on Eyde's site, no more info other than a picture and a name: "Central Park mixed use development - Okemos, MI"
-
I'm fairly confident that Eyde will get the incentives that he seeks, they're all pretty strait forward and I think it will be a very deserving project. For a second I was wondering if they were going to try to use the development bonds on this proj…

This is out of left field. I seen on the news they said that Bernero was meeting with Eyde and State officials to discuss a possible development for the building. I'll be eagerly awaiting hearing more details on this one. I think the best case scen…

Do you know how students are counted in the census? That could really skew the numbers for that area.
