Wasn't sure if this should go in the General Lansing Development thread or this one, but since the last conversation here was about the restaurant space, I found it fitting. The LSJ is reporting that Beer Grotto will open in the Stadium District.…

How does Monday, Sept 22nd, 7pm at The Nuthouse sound then?

Poached business, no, but Old Town has benefited from more locally owned businesses. Downtown really needs at minimum a medium-sized grocery store. It would be such a boon if downtown Lansing could convince Goodrich to open there. Besides that, I th…

The LSJ published an update on the addition of a non-motorized pathway along Moores River Drive. The $1.65 million project along Moores River Drive near Mt. Hope Avenue, east of Waverly Road, involves tearing down a seawall and replacing it with a…

Yeah I was thinking around 7pm

The Citizens Bank and Evergreen Arms would be great to have, but I won't believe it until I see shovels in the ground. Happy that it is being talked about though.

I know that Meijer has been trying to get a Meijer gas station in that spot for the longest time, but has faced considerable backlash from residents of the nearby neighborhoods. Perhaps I missed the announcement? I think any type of retail was fough…

It's a sort of a chicken/egg problem. The city wants to have year round residents living downtown, but many businesses that would support permanent residents don't exist because there aren't permanent residents (a large-scale grocery store, for exam…

They *could* also build the expansion in the same style as the Showroom Shine detail shop that was built with the option of adding on extra floors in the future. This would allow some eventual apartments/lofts on top without tearing down the structu…

hood, maybe a scaled down version of the Gateway project? My other guess would be something near Frandor Plus.
-
No, I'll have to look through the archives to find the meeting and watch the video. My guess is the scale and proximity of rentals to the rowhouses.
-
I watched the recent Planning Commission meeting and at the end of it (around the 52 minute mark), it was mentioned that the Gateway Project is now on hold due to concerns from an earlier Planning Commission meeting. http://eastlansing.granicus.c…

Anything but a fast-food restaurant with drive-thru or a gas station would be good for the corner of Washington and St. Joe. It would be great to get rid of one of the surface parking lots in that area.

They built a new handicap ramp on the northside of Dem Hall, but that was about it for the exterior changes. Which buildings along Grand River are you referencing? I can't think of any outside of Brody Complex that have changed in the last few ye…

Actually Demonstration Hall got renovated about 5 years ago and is now the home for the MSU Marching Band which practices from inside of the building at times. If you walk by the north side of the building, make sure to peek in the windows and you'l…

The City of East Lansing is considering selling the small park at the corner of the Abbot and Albert Streets to the developer of the Park District. This will need to go before a vote from the city's population first though. http://statenews.com/art…

Video of the planning commission meeting for the showroom shine project is online. The building was initially constructed with the plans to support three more floors on top of the detailing portion. They will use metal for the construction so they c…

I found some renderings of the Showroom Shine development. They were in the packet from the East Lansing planning commission meeting on the 11th. http://screencast.com/t/XuXRvxV1dCYQ http://screencast.com/t/69pJgFGrSsC http://screencast.com…

I remember that plot of land before it was Brentwood. There used to be a house on the land that had a sizable yard (the lot was the full size of the Brentwood development). The property backed up to a dirt pathway that connected Pin Oak Lane and Eas…

Last I remember they had around 200 employees. They take up a good chunk of the office park at the corner of Okemos and Jolly Rd.
