It sounds like they are going to expand the project north to include the parking lot on the between Albert Ave and Dublin Square. However at the same time, I think they are going to reduce the height of the building at the corner of Abbot and Grand …

EastLansingInfo, who I've linked to in the past, is fundraising to continue their independent journalism (of which I must note is top notch quality). I just donated to them and I am asking that readers of this site donate there too: http://eastla…

There will be a new bar located in The Venue at East Town (the new, full, name). It will be called "Rajje's Taphouse" in honor of the elephant that escaped the circus at Logan Square Mall in 1963. The LSJ has more on the story at http://www.lansi…

@hood, I made it so that links in the messages are underlined. Does that make it easier to see the links?

I updated the site today to use HTTPS everywhere. All pages should automatically upgrade connections to HTTPS which means that you should see 'https://' in the address bar. This also means that your login information is now encrypted when traveling …

The Hannah Plaza area continues to increase in density, which is closer to the medical campus. I guess we may see continued growth there, though it's not along a frequent bus route and there is no direct bus from Hannah Plaza to Grand River since th…

Thanks, I updated the title of this thread with the new name.

The Red Cedar golf course redevelopment is supposed to add crosswalks but I'm not too hopeful that the project will start anytime soon. And the BRT could add those crosswalks but that project doesn't look to be moving soon either. I think MDOT is th…

I do think that people looking for new jobs take in to account how the commute will be , what the after-work options are, and what housing is available in proximity to the job. These are especially important with the generation that are just enterin…

I think both but as the council members are being sued as doing part of their job it means they are named but the city would pay for the legal defense as well as any settlement costs.

The lawsuit over the Saboury development in Old Town might get settled. An article posted in the LSJ says that the two parties are open to mediation. It would be great to see this project move forward and have activity at this vacant building.

Ah okay I stand corrected I guess that's even worse that the project location has outlived this site. In less time, Stonehouse is on their third project and could even approach a fourth before any ground is broken.
-
Yeah I really like this project too. Actually the way it's designed gives it bigger scale than I think it is which is pretty cool. Since this now has brownfield credits I think it still has to go before the city council and planning commission,…

Everything after the question mark can be removed from that URL :-)

Yeah, this website was around before the proposals. I guess I can be happy about that

DTN announced plans today to build 100 apartments behind the Hyatt Place hotel, connected to the existing parking ramp. They said that they plan to break ground this summer and that if the demand continues and if they are able to secure another plot…

I'm really just puzzled at this whole project. I remember when Michigan Museum Place was first announced. Since then Scott Chapelle has gone on to successfully start and get in to progress a different project down the road while this corner just kee…

The residency requirement wasn't brought up because the developers have dealt with it already in their plan. If the residency requirement wasn't there though, the project would be much more profitable and the brownfield plan and tax issues may not b…

One of the reasons they can't make it work is their residency requirements that certain percentages be owner-occupied. It will take the city to stop thinking that there are enough students downtown for these projects to succeed.

The project is a no-go per http://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/local/2017/01/11/developer-148m-east-lansing-project-not-feasible-after-tax-rebate-change/96436436/ Not surprised. It seems the city needs to think of smaller projects inste…
