Yeah, it was cool to scoop the LSJ by about 4 days I think it's worth mentioning that we may have seen some of the drought of development in the Cedar Village area due to the recession that came through around 2007. It seems that we are now at t…

This is what I'm hoping for. I haven't seen anything about actual planning for these buildings. But the fact that they are owned by the same entity that built all of the other Stonehouse buildings is a good sign that this will be their next site onc…

Checking the Assessor's office, the building next door which houses Moosejaw, Sushi Go, Jersey Mike's Subs and Rice Kitchen is also owned by Stonehouse Village VI[1], so this is likely the next direction that they will build. I'm hoping that they…

If I recall correctly, the old Sawyers Pontiac was a part of the original Red Cedar project, but the owner of the property backed out. I thought it was the same owner as the Skyvue site, so there is a chance that if there ever is a Skyvue 2 then it …

It's along Grand River, replacing 7-11 and Georgio's Pizza. https://is.bsasoftware.com/bsa.is/AssessingServices/ServiceAssessingSearchResults.aspx?i=1&on=core+campus&appid=0&unit=138 is the list of properties that Core Campus Lansing …

I hope it's along Bogue or Grand River. Putting this in the middle of that neighborhood will be really awkward.

It's anywhere in the Grand River Ave/Bogue Street Area Zone on this map:

Reading between the lines on the zoning changes: First, this line was changed from "... permit a maximum building height of up to ten stories or 140 feet for a building of significant public benefit, provided the following standards apply:" to ".…

Looks like a "large housing project" will be announced for the corner of Grand River Ave and Bogue St, built by Core Campus: Memo: http://eastlansing.granicus.com/MetaViewer.php?view_id=2&event_id=1164&meta_id=46608 Draft ordinance for…

I didn't hear that anywhere. But Gillespie owns the Sears building, and I don't think Sears as a retail company has a strong future (they've already sold Craftsman). I imagine either Gillespie will develop the property himself or will market it t…

Not to mention that if Skyvue is a huge success we could see a duplicate one built next door on part of the Sears building.

You should read that second link I posted. It actually could spell some issues for Convexity with lower availability for TIF funds and potentially reduced senior housing demand.

From the reading it seems like ASAP. I would guess around June at the earliest, though with the project being so large June seems pretty optimistic to me.

ELi has a pretty good FAQ on their site, http://www.eastlansinginfo.org/content/answers-questions-about-new-development-proposal Of note, Will the voters get to decide on this project? It doesn’t look like it. The plan is not to sell any of…

Thanks for sharing that! Deadline is March 20th and the top 100 ideas each get a $25 gift card. Only downside is dealing with the PDF to submit your entry

This project is now going by the name of "565 Building", in relation to the address of 565 E. Grand River Ave. The page on Cron Management's website says "Full for Fall 2017". Residential occupancy rates don't need to hit 100% to make money. I be…

Yeah that's crazy. I think it's related to the desire to find opinions on both sides, which isn't always necessary. I think it's better than alright. The ground floor retail on the parking garage is what we were just talking about with the Lansin…

I guess if I were to really stretch for things that could be improved, it's to ask for a green roof on the buildings and a decorative cornice, though the latter doesn't appear to happen anymore.

Pages 2-4 of http://eastlansing.granicus.com/MetaViewer.php?view_id=2&event_id=1344&meta_id=46349 explain the project in greater detail too. I love everything about this project. I hope that the parking ramp that does not have residential…
