I think Replay Tavern might actually be a retro-gaming style bar, with pinball machines and old arcade machines. At least I hope so!

The site went down today for a little over an hour while the site was moved to new server hardware. I didn't know this was going to happen today, and in the process I had to do some maintenance to clean up some more hard drive space on the server. T…

Welcome to the forum MSUFTW! I didn't know about that project before, thanks for sharing! Do you know the addresses of the apartment buildings / duplexes? If you find that, it's possible to look up some of the details on the Assessor's website. I wi…

Nice, great to see bike lanes put in. The road looks really good. Next step would be to clean up the sidewalks (at least sweep them) and add more placemaking elements like benches.

My interpretation is this will be patchwork. We'll see though. Great to hear something will be done. Would have been nice to have gotten this done before the Capital City River Run half-marathon and marathon where we had close to 3,000 people runnin…

Oh okay, thanks for the correction. Hopefully we see some good infill on Frandor Plus then.

The way that this was built without public funds shows the amount of demand for student housing close to Michigan State. It greatly increases the land value of Sears and will likely lead to a similar development on the Sears property in the next 5-1…

I hope they don't create a 3-4 lane road. The 20/20 plan is about making the campus easier for pedestrians and bicyclists and that would be the wrong direction.

Yeah, I agree that there's not much foot traffic but when we look at necessary infrastructure it seems to always make sense to centrally locate new developments. In downtown Lansing the AT&T building once was filled with phone switches, but a…

My desire to place the Data Center closer to Grand River is to increase the amount of people working on or near Grand River. This building doesn't need to be standalone, and could have other offices or small ground-floor retail, though MSU doesn't u…

MSU just approved $46 million for a new data center on campus, but it's going to be on Crescent Road near the old MSUFCU headquarters. I wish it could have been closer to central campus or downtown. http://statenews.com/article/2016/09/trustees-d…

The LSJ is reporting that units should be move-in ready in February. Most of the article is about Chappelle advertising an August move-in but then pushing it back to February after some delays with approvals. There are assumptions and posturing in t…

Yeah, East Lansing Info's reporting is more optimistic, but it's not too far off from the LSJ report. The news here is that the developers are still trying to push forward and hope to submit plans to the Planning Commission in the next two weeks. I …

The LSJ's story on this project says that the developer has cancelled plans to build this due to an unknown city ordinance that requires 50% owner occupied housing in B-3 zoning districts (which this is part of). The developer here says that there i…

Is the current tower 3 stories tall? I wonder how far away this will be viewable.
-
The site plan rendering indeed shows lots of black top with buildings somewhat centered around the parking areas. This development, being close to the Red Cedar, could have put in parking under the buildings to prevent flood issues and made the area…

I drove by the site for this yesterday and no work has been done. I checked the city council and planning commission meetings dating back to March 2016 to now and see no mention of it either. Are the developers still trying to gather financing for t…
-
Cool, that's good news. 77 or 144 units would be great, and having an active developer with money on the line will probably help the VOA around the corner to provide sitting areas or some other additions to give people a place to hang out that's not…

The PILOT for the project in Old Town got rejected and the lawsuit over its rejection is related to the income levels of the tenants. The counter argument from the Council was that it was only related to income levels in that neighborhood, or someth…

One way to fix that would be to open up a branch of the East Lansing Public Library in downtown, but adjust the rules of the library so talking on your phone or working with friends isn't a problem. The MSU Library's first floor has a section wit…
