For affordable housing we really could be getting much worse. I think wanting to fit in with the School for the Blind was why they used these materials. It would be great if they could rehab the old Walter French school after this project.

They really look great. I need to make my way up there and see them in person. It would be great to see this developer take on more projects in Lansing.

Yeah that's a nice and unique building for East Lansing. The commercial areas of that building never seemed to do so well for impulse shopping due to them being hidden from the road a bit. The biggest loss will be the loss of the old post office. I …

Are you asking in regards to the Performing Arts Center? Wow if so I'm surprised to hear that there could be an announcement coming so soon. Have there been private attempts at building a 300-500 person venue? If the private market couldn't support …

Thanks for mentioning the new renderings. I wouldn't have noticed it otherwise. I like the large public space that both buildings offer. I think these plazas will help pull people towards the park and back to the downtown. These could get some great…

I get that same feeling too. Even cities like East Lansing that claim to be a "Tree City" don't seem to have an issue with BWL butchering tons of trees.

Ground was broken today on the new hospital, with plans to have it open to patients by early 2022. https://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/local/2018/12/17/mclaren-hospital-msu-healthcare-research-groundbreaking/2336253002/

Valley Court East would be a good name since it ties it to the park instead of the generic "park" name.

The Park Place development is now looking to set the height of their Park Place East building (the one on Abbot Rd) to 14 stores (140 feet). The Planning Commission voted against endorsing a proposed ordinance for this and the DDA voted for the prop…

The outdoor fireplace in East Lansing really feels like a wasted opportunity and it is an excessive waste of natural gas/energy. I'd like to see more public restrooms and updated drinking fountains. We really should be focused on the core require…

The LSJ has an update on the Rotary Park upgrades. They say that a fireplace will be added. We already knew of the plans for the "lighted forest". Delta Dental donated $250,000 for the plaza. Construction will start this winter. https://www.lansi…

Realtors are saying that many empty nesters want to downsize but their biggest issue is departing with furniture that has sentimental value. These self storage businesses allow people to downsize without having to figure out where they're going to p…

Wow! That's awesome!!! Now I will wait with trepidation until... December? That's next week.

Yeah two year leases are hard for any city save for cities with rapidly increasing rent rates and no rent control.
-
Wow that is very interesting about Gaslight Village and it explains why the property has changed hands multiple times over the years. Hard to make money with those kinds of lease restrictions.

The 4th floor of the building has now been poured and the interior walls have been roughed in. Work is beginning on the 5th floor interior walls. EastLansingBuzz posted an update and included a picture, https://www.eastlansingbuzz.org/single-pos…

The Grand River building is now up to the 10th floor. The final two floors will be poured in the next month or so. Work on the Albert Avenue building is now at the 6th floor on the east side and the 5th floor on the west side. EastLansingBuzz pos…

Yeah, that's true. In that sense it was the architects fault that the mall failed, and I do agree that the mall was designed in a very brutalist fashion. I believe that we go through generational trends of space use. There were about 20 years where …

The mall didn't have to fail. I don't think it was all the architect's fault. We needed ground floor retail and restaurants on the mall. We also needed people living downtown and businesses and places for people to go and stay active late in to the …
