I don't like it. I agree, it feels like they're building the outdoor seating for someone else's restaurant. We should have bathrooms and drinking fountains. Park benches or tables and chairs are good too though, but the outdoor fireplace is a gimmic…

BJ's Wholesale Club is opening two locations in southeast Michigan. I wonder if they might be purchasing the old Sam's Club location as their next Michigan expansion?

The Temple Club and the old Sam's Club on the south side are under contract to be sold (different buyers most likely). This is great news for both properties. I think it would be easy to convert the old Temple Club to apartments. I'm not sure w…

@MichMatters East Lansing has a specific ordinance that was passed after the St. Anne Lofts fiasco that requires that what is built matches the approved plans. https://eastlansing.granicus.com/MetaViewer.php?view_id=2&clip_id=269&meta_id=…

This is so great to hear! Wow this is really the game changer that downtown Lansing needs. It's one of those sleeper game changers that will really help change some of the environment and have a lasting impact that will help the street and pedestria…

Nothing announced just yet, but it looks like a third developer will now be trying to build something at the "four corners" in Okemos's downtown. https://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/local/2019/01/17/downtown-development-okemos-tif-blig…

It would be awesome to see that Gillespie proposal built on the parking lot to the north of Oliver Towers.

The staircase from Evergreen up to Abbot that is there today connects to this west parking lot. Its a small lot and looks like it's part of the ATT building. I don't recall seeing a staircase to replace the one they're removing. I do really lik…

Yes, I like this proposal a lot. But it does seem that the developers of this proposal know that the city is in a bind and are thus asking for the whole house. In the proposal, they are using the City Hall West parking lot as an entrance to their pa…

Thanks, that was the _one_ part of the block I didn't look at lol. I do remember that house. I'm fine with the visitor center where it is, being near the Broad museum. Could we convert that old house to an East Lansing Historical Museum? Now that wo…

@ratchetwrench where is the Victorian house you're referring to? I couldn't find it when looking on Google Street view

The delta got some good infill in 2010 and 2013 but hasn't had much attention since then. My guess is that the property owners are just complacent. Hopefully the new buildings under construction will increase competition and the we'll see the delta …

Well this thread was started in 2006 so at least that last long lol. I believe the first public talks about it were in the fall of 2005.

Wasn't the height limit just increased from 120 to 140 feet for Park Place? There is definitely a proposal that is the cause for an increase to 160. It could be Park Place wanting to go higher. If not there, maybe we'll finally see a proposal for th…

I was able to visit the capitol of Texas in Austin and their capitol building is very similar to ours, it was built by the same person. Their building has a much larger front park with large statues describing various points of Texas history. The ba…

Yeah, this scaled down version no longer has the 300 spaces of parking or Walnut St entrance. The geothermal system is now in the way of some of the previously planned space for the underground center.

An update on this project, a bit scaled down now but likely to pass as it's included in the Supplemental Budget proposal that is on Snyder's desk now. https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/2018/12/28/heritage-hall-funding-may-approved-michigan-c…
