Jared- I think your proposed scenario is ideal. Definitely on board with that.

There are site plans here: http://www.cityofeastlansing.com/Home/Sites/EconomicDevelopment/CurrentProjects/ParkDistrictPlanningArea/DeveloperProposalsAttachments/ I think most of the images associated with the proposals are conceptual, not officia…

The EL City Council has narrowed the list of potential developers to 2: http://www.lansingstatejournal.com/article/20130522/NEWS01/305220033/DTN-running-East-Lansing-development http://statenews.com/article/2013/05/e-l-city-council-to-decide-on-tw…

Ha!, yes! The EL Az building... Have we seen any renderings or heard any recent news about that? This block has the potential to be the coolest block in the metro area.

Thanks for the info, MichMatters. I'll try to find those articles. Not sure how I missed them. Looking at the bright side, the new building next store looks to be on schedule, and it really changes the feel on MAC and Albert. Plus, Hopcat sho…

Btw, I am generally a fan of the St Annes developers. They've invested a lot in Lansing and GR and have some classy establishments. I just don't know what happened with this project. I'm intrigued.

I didn't know there was a story about the cross. I'm not trying to suggest that the cross is intentional or a conspiracy. In fact, I think it's worse if it's accidental. Did they even hire an architect for the final plans? Btw, the cross makes …

Regarding the St Annes Lofts. Has anyone else noticed that they look nothing like the pre-construction renderings? Not even close. Also, there is a giant stone cross on the front of the building. It looks strange. I know they built an extra f…

MichMatters- Excellent points- but if your points don't support the term "mismanaged," then what word would you choose? A large (and very visible) section of the downtown area sits vacant- and has for years- because of poor choices and a lack of d…

Well, according to the State News, the EL city council has voted to terminate this project. I hope they know what they're doing, but I doubt it. I know Strathmore has been dysfunctional, but EL has been mismanaged for years. I love the city anyw…

The site plan definitely doesn't match. I think they were pushed north by the cinema expansion. I guess the cinema owners get their pick. They do bring a lot of customers to Eastwood. Also, the scale of the project seems to have been taken down …
-
Haha. Ok. Actually, Eastwood somewhat blurs the distinction between mall and strip-mall. It's concentrated, like a mall- but also has drive up parking. The main building in question is different than that, yes... It has a parking garage (a good …
-
Here is an article from today's LSJ. The only new news regards the specified businesses and the timetable. There is also a new street-level rendering. The parking garage is currently being built (and going up pretty quickly), and its ground floor…
-
Am I seeing it correctly? The development will be on the north side of "Showtime Drive?" The parking ramp has over a thousand parking spaces... who is going to park there? Those things are expensive- If I was the owner of the Theater, I would wan…
-
It looks great, and I think that the project will be mostly successful. The housing is key because it means potential customers will be living on-site. A hotel is probably the next step (moderately sized, with some banquet and meeting facilities)…

The East Village neighborhood (north of Sparrow) has a new developer: http://www.lansingstatejournal.com/article/20110115/NEWS01/101150321/Developer-breathes-new-life-into-East-Village-housing-plan They expect to build 52 detached homes in the next…

Marketplace is a go: http://www.lansingstatejournal.com/article/20101025/NEWS01/310250014/-1/rss13 The judge says the Gillespies lived up to their end of the bargain. Is it a dead issue? Or, do we need further clarification?
-
Does anyone have details regarding the negotiations between the Gillespie Group and the unions? I am absolutely in favor of this development (and the Armory) moving forward. I have met the Gillespies and spoken with them about their plans, and I b…

I think that the new sculpture actually increases the possibility of the ice rink being built. OK- maybe it doesn't 'increase the possibility,' but it does point to an increased probability. The city/ committee wouldn't put this sculpture somewher…

I was looking over at the Post bar building yesterday as I was eating on the patio at Noodles and Co- and I was struck by the impact that the redevelopment of that building and the inclusion of 8 story apartments (next door) will have on the area. …
