Yeah the westbound on-ramp looks tricky, but the eastbound off-ramp looks equally bad, as people would have to slow down to a crawl while on the freeway before being able to make that 90° turn.

I just read the article too. The City has dreams of building this blockbuster development on the land there, meanwhile many more meaningful (smaller) projects have been proposed and built. It's time the City stop focusing on one "blockbuster" redeve…

I believe this step was created as a result of the previous development failures. It is a practice being done by the city in an attempt to try to protect their time and money.

The Park District proposal has passed the round of financial review necessary for the City of East Lansing to continue working with the group. This opens up the project for tax-increment financing. The DDA will have a special meeting on July 7th to …

A new terminal seems like a waste of money to me. I'd rather see demand increase to the point where the current terminal can't handle the usage before a new one is built. Building one just to get a temporary increase in usage would be a great waste …

The article says that the owners have found a buyer, but haven't shared details of the sale: Thomas said the Sawvels have found a buyer for the building, but she did not know details including whether the space would remain a coffee shop. Not…

Maybe just doing surveying? I don't think this has gone through council yet.

Lingg Brewer finally got his approval from the city council to proceed with his building at 500 Albert Ave/122 Division St. This video says that the approval was for 13 apartments and roughly 1,000 sq ft of "non-residential" space: https://www.yo…

Breslin already has an expansion on the east side of it which killed the oval shape. Combine this expansion with the development across the street *as well as* a narrowing of Harrison and it could be really nice. Increased commercial along Harrison …

The development by Jolly and Okemos is supposed to be apartments for young professionals. I remember it was talked about recently, I'll have to find the link. Edit, here's a snippet, An Ohio-based real estate market research firm wrote an econom…

The potential names I see for this area are: 1) Frandor: used very commonly in the area, instantly recognizable and attributable to the area. Ties the name to the shopping center, which may be confusing as it starts incorporating other uses 2) Red…

Wow, huge project! Yeah, we should probably start new threads more often. I resized the picture in your post so that it fits on my screen (and probably others better ).

I was happy until I read Delta Township. If Lansing could pull them out of Delta Township and in to downtown Lansing, that would be huge for downtown as well as the neighborhoods surrounding it.

Yes it is, this is exactly the type of infill that we need to build a dense urban core. In fact, the building where Tasty Twist moved to would also be a good block for redevelopment in the same fashion that this project is proposed in. Also, that…

Shout-out to Hood for catching this one week ago Yes, seconded! Great scoop!

I'm having trouble finding unit counts for the dorms, but according to https://fis.ipf.msu.edu/fisapps/fit/v3/prod/#/buildings?sortfield=GROSS_SQFT&dataset=msuBuildings, Holmes Hall is the largest residential building in square feet on campus. I…

The LSJ has a rendering of the proposed development for the site of the old Taco Bell. They mention that if approved, construction could start this summer and be complete in 12 months.

Yeah, the most recent addition is the one directly to the right of the six story addition. I really like their timeline, they are serious about their business! Demolition starting next month and occupancy by August 2016.
