  • The Lansing State Journal is going to move in to the Knapps Centre, taking a 20,000 sq ft lease on the third floor. The Eydes bought their current building (87,000 sq ft) a couple weeks ago and are planning on converting it to a mixed-use building w…
  • The houses on Allegan being boarded up may be a tactic lower the property value and get the people to move out of 923 West Allegan.
  • I don't see where in the article that it says can charge in 5 minutes. They did mention an airport-style shuttle that could charge in 10 minutes to drive 30 miles, but the full-size bus pictured was mentioned as charging overnight. Still cool techno…
  • This building? Google is showing it was clad in siding since at least 2007. I never went by there enough to know what it looked like before.
  • I think a more realistic approach for the Eckert and GM site are new neighborhoods. There aren't many large open areas of land within the center of the city that could still be developed and provide new construction homes. The flood zone shouldn't p…
  • Update on the Oliver Towers project. The Eydes are planning on doing a redevelopment of the building with commercial and office on the first floor and 100 apartments on the upper 7 floors. http://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/local/2015/…
  • Haha no worries, thanks for the tip I'm excited and can't wait for construction to start, is there anywhere that construction timelines are posted? Maybe with a buildings department?
  • I think those signs are being stored there in anticipation of the 127 underpass work, although they would have needed permission from the SkyVue owners to place it there for that purpose.
  • The Eyde Family is planning to redevelop the Oliver Towers building. More details will be unveiled at a press conference at 11am on Thursday morning. Source, http://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/local/2015/09/23/eyde-family-redevelop-oliver…
  • At the same council session, Stonehouse Village IV was approved as well as the brownfield plan for the project. I'm not sure when construction will start.
  • Wow that's quite the story. From looking at the pictures alone I would have thought that Trammpp's was out of business when they took those pictures, but I guess it was just trying to not draw any unwanted attention.
  • Hmm... yeah I don't see a way to do it. Which threads seem awkward? You could probably add a section at the bottom of the first post with a: Current project status (as of 9/2/2015): ... ... etc.
  • Sticky means that the thread will stay at the "top" of the forum even when new posts are made to other threads.
  • Thanks, The Outfield page looks good :) I've made hood and MichMatters moderators on the forum now, as they've been on for the forum since the beginning and have consistently made great contributions.
  • Yeah, we can sticky discussion threads. There isn't a good way to quote a comment, but you can use BBCode with [quote][/quote] to show quoted text, but it's not like other forum software that auto-links to the comment, etc. Yeah, the project pages …
  • Tomorrow will be the public hearing for the brownfield redevelopment plan and site plan of the old Taco Bell, across from Stonehouse Village.
  • Is this the pillar that they are talking about?
  • The Sears property is listed on the Gillespie site, http://gillespie-group.com/commercial/sears/ and was also covered in this story, Frandor property owner confident Sears will stay open.
  • This is the manufactured housing community that they are talking about, http://screencast.com/t/61KLQ01A1. After the roads were built and a few of the lots sold, the company filed for bankruptcy and it remains mostly a ghost town that could make a p…
  • SkyVue will have a public hearing in front of the development and planning committee on August 24th. They are asking for $25 million in property tax abatements + interest. If approved, they are ready to start construction this fall. http://www.la…
