I saw somewhere on Facebook that the owners of Clara's are closing it because they sold the property. So maybe this will get reopened as a new type of restaurant or something else. It could make a really cool train-themed bed & breakfast.

I'm fine with not every project on Michigan Ave including retail. Until all current retail spots are occupied, new ones may just sit vacant which won't look too good either. There's always the possibility that this building could be rezoned later an…

Wow great photos! Nice placement of the Sun and good composition too.

Here's the reply from facebook, http://screencast.com/t/S2JuhwcLEU

That was a well worded reply sabatoa. Thanks for saying something

Yeah, there's definitely some backstory behind the severance pay, but it shouldn't derail the rest of the city. In the grand scheme of things, the $160,000 payout is very minor out of the whole budget of the city.

Wow, well this is sad. First, I don't think council should feel compelled to grant all developments subsidies such as payment-in-lieu-of-taxes. However, the reasons stated by the City Council as to why they did not grant the subsidy does sound ve…

Nice to hear but I wish that would have been closer to one of the urban cores. Getting CostCo near downtown Lansing could be huge, and there is definitely the space for it.

Oh thanks! Well I'm still stumped then

Jackson National is in Aurelius Township. Maybe there is some erroneous data where employees are stating where they work instead of where they live?

Welcome to the forum! The city put out an RFP for that lot in 2007 to get a highrise built there with parking on the first floor. Here's a link to the comments on this site about it, http://develop.metrolansing.com/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=19…

That's 300 Grand which was formerly The Gateway. It's coming along real well!

The cutting of the trees was an indirect subsidy to the developers since the developers would have had to pay for it if the property had been sold to them already. Does anybody know what the hold up is on the sale taking place?
-
The reaction to the ice storm should not have been to cut down trees all over, but to start funding the burying of lines so we can fully prevent this in the future.

The City Council was expected to approve White Oak Place at today's meeting, but instead they decided to table it until their next meeting (May 24th, over a month away) because some of the members want to look more in to the costs of the brownfield …

Prior to the recession we had projects like East Village and City Center II being proposed in East Lansing. Those projects can't get anywhere near the financing that was talked about back then, so I don't think the markets have fully recovered. B…

You know I bet it is less the developers and more the banks. Maybe they haven't seen enough evidence of demand yet to assume the risk for a bigger loan. Somewhat unfortunate that the projects with the best location are coming on so early and not get…

The recent article about developments to watch in Lansing mentioned that The Outfield was fully leased. Don't most commercial developments target a 80-90% occupancy rate? Seems to me that if all of the residential units are leased than the building …

Those are good points. I agree that if they are not union members it is deceptive to pay to have them out there protesting.
-
I don't know why those would be random people. They are likely construction workers that are part of the union who maybe didn't dress for the cold today? Either way, they are paying people to help get jobs for their union, not much different than pa…
