@gbdinlansing I believe it's just there to improve traffic flow over the Red Cedar River while the Farm Lane bridge is out.
-
@mindbender That's the kind of logic I've almost come to expect out of people these days. I truly hope there's not a large contingent of people that think like that, this city's (and world's) future won't be very bright if so. I'm mildly in fav…

Great news that there's an extra tool now available to help get 927 Washington renovated, I really like that building and would love to see it get a proper restoration someday. As for the land behind it, I'd imagine the traditional solution of using…

I'm also a fan of the Hudson Tower's design, it's SHoP Architects, they've done a lot of nice high rises. The Tower on Grand kind of has their aesthetic imo. Lots of stuff happening in Detroit in general, I loosely keep up on things going on do…

I wouldn't compare Marketplace or Outfield to REO Gateway. The former are mediocre while REO Gateway is garbage imo. The added density is the only upside, which doesn't count for much since just about anything else built there would have also added …

Lots of news within these last few posts. Thanks to @citykid for the insights That the 1506 N Grand River development is still in the table, even if downsized, is very positive. That development would be huge for the area as originally envision…

I really do hope that Granger actually makes his plans happen, hopefully without another 30 years going by, but as Michmatters said: everyone has plans. Their stewardship of this property has been embarrassing and the public back and forth with the …

The Granger debacle is an absolute joke. Their proposal for city hall is unexciting, but not offensive itself. The fact that they'd ask for an exclusive agreement to develop the old city hall and the Lansing Center (!?) is dumbfounding. Why is the L…

Mclaren is going to build a $40 million facility near Grand Ledge at Saginaw & Nixon that will include an emergency room. It will be about a 34k sq ft building on 4 acres, construction will begin this summer. https://www.lansingstatejournal.c…

I'm very much hoping to see that property redeveloped, I'd be happy to see something similar to what was originally proposed. City Council denied the sale of the Grand & Lenawee lot to Boji. One thing I was not aware of was that these apartme…
-
Ah, I think I remember city kid mentioning that in a thread, right? A 4-5 floor five-over-one would seem the most predictable option but I was figuring that if CATA was going to end up on anything more than the first floor that could change things, …

I don't know what to make of that project near Turner Dodge. Someone obviously put a fair bit of work into coming up with a fairly detailed proposal unique to the site and took the time to go through rezoning. The Land Bank owning the property kinda…

Yeah it was in a WKAR story, I thought it got posted somewhere. I have it in the development rundown thread along with renderings of Walter French that might not have been shared here. https://www.wkar.org/wkar-news/2023-10-26/new-public-safety-cam…

I had forgotten all about Hobbs+Black, their buildings are never very adventurous but have a nice look. The public safety complex does have their aesthetic, I can certainly believe it's them. I'm happy that they're at least building the Mt Hope S…
-
Not exactly earth shattering but at 354 units it seems worth mentioning: A new 30 acre suburban-style apartment complex on N Canal adjacent to the Canal Club apartments. I have no opinion other than to say it's nice to see more units in the area and…
-
Yeah, the old Shiawassee proposal is very similar to Stadium North: a workforce building and a senior building, each 70ish units and 4 floors. Back when Stadium North was announced I assumed that the same developer was involved. Found the old thr…
-
I noticed that building at Shiawassee and Larch the other say, the first thing I wondered was whether Eyde owned it. Do you remember how far through approvals that project got before?
-
Another thing worth pointing out was the going on about subsidies to these city facilities as if that's an inherently bad thing. The Lansing Center, the ballpark and even Groespeck Golf Course are all assets that I'm sure the city sees a net positiv…
-
Yeah, I replied with similar feeling to your other comment.

This was a horrible decision as far as I can tell. Councilmember spoke about wanting it to be smaller and lower quality, with less "trinkets". That's the thinking that has led this city to being the brunt of jokes. The proposed performing arts cente…
