The hotel locating here may also have to do with the borders of downtown and the chokehold that the Radisson has on it. $4m actually sounds pretty cheap though for 4 stories. I don't expect any ground floor retail will be included unless the city re…

So many bad decisions back then. Makes me wonder what types of bad decisions we're making now, in terms of Lansing and also in terms of the current best-practices of urban planning nationwide. Nationwide I think some big mistakes are giving unlim…

The article said the retail will be for scraps and industrial parts which makes more sense for the location.

The Potter Mill site by Potter Park Zoo on the south side of the river between Pennsylvania and Cedar St is getting reused. It will include 14,500sq ft of retail on the first floor and 23,000sq ft of commercial space on the second floor. http://w…

MSU Federal Credit Union is going to spend $500k to open an intern center on Grand River, between Curious Book Store and the Tin Can Bar (previously Stateside Deli). The location will house about 20 interns. http://www.lansingstatejournal.com/sto…

It became controversial because it is used by people who have controversial beliefs. History has shown once a statement/logo/flag becomes associated with a controversial group it becomes stuck to that group, and most likely isn't worth trying to giv…

Yeah, much of the mindshare back in the day was that "wider streets = bigger city", which is part of the reason why Washington Sq is so wide. Washington Sq could actually fit 6 lanes of traffic if the perpendicular parking was converted to lanes. Th…

MichMatters, I'm talking about the building next door with the barbershop and Stober's.

He said that they are replacing the liquor store with something that serves the neighborhood better. I wonder what the status is of the places above the building just east of this one?

Some pictures from the development at Beech and Gunson St, https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B-YE9jRAIUTQTHhiQTAzWFAxaEE&usp=sharing This used to be a small development with tiny "monopoly" style houses (Google Maps satellite view of th…

Looking at the banner on your second picture, I like how the Frandor sign at the entrance appears so dwarfed next to the building.

The owner/developers of land sometimes announce projects with prospective designs to gather interest from potential investors or future lease-holders. Many will wait until the tenants have signed on before starting construction, which helps with loa…

At the end of the sheriff's sale, the previous holder of the property has a 6-month redemption period where they can match the final bid and retain control of the property. This redemption period was supposed to end February 6th. It appears that the…

I like the incorporation of the facades, something I wish would be done for the development on East Michigan Ave. I think the building is a perfect size for the surrounding area. I wouldn't want to hold out for a high-rise proposal, as that could be…

Inovalon replaced Burlington Coat Factory, which had the western half of the building.

I like the design too, but I wish that construction of the project would also move the utility lines underground and install a nicer light at the intersection instead of one hanging by wires. I thought it was kinda funny that the rendering including…

Note that the LSJ rendering is dated 2014 but the rendering hood included above is dated 2015. I'm not sure why the LSJ went with the older rendering, unless they found out that the previous design is now being used.

Wow, that is nowhere close to Lansing Eastern. It would be nice if a public indoor pool could be built attached to Don Johnson Fieldhouse. I think East Lansing's swim team swims at McDonald Middle School at the corner of Burcham and Hagadorn (about …

What does Lansing ESE mean? Is that some abbreviation for Lansing Eastern?
