Yes, MSU has had the sophomore year policy but stopped enforcing it in the 80's. The dorms do have capacity for this. I think I read in one of the articles about 50% of sophomores already live on capacity (which limits the affect to off-campus housi…

Yes, if the shovels weren't already in the ground then this will present a major challenge.
-
Yes, this is really big news and the articles I read didn't extrapolate enough into the effects of this change as well as the motivations behind it. What I see is that MSU had known for a while that increased years living on campus led to higher …

@hood, there was no mention of the Lake Trust project in the article.

The development proposal is great news! It's unbelievable that in a city the size of Lansing that we could basically have a golf cart dirt path downtown (if it was a public park like the BMX park that's a different story ;-) ). I agree both Ced…

Their plan is to build on part of the Spartan Village land. This is not surprising since it fits their culture of being a freeway exit/friendly for commuter business. https://eastlansinginfo.news/council-asked-to-consider-tax-exemption-for-tech…

Yes it was very lucky they didn't move to the research park. It was right before the great recession tanked at it's worst and would have probably caused major damage to the company. We had a hiring freeze and other things put on hold for the next 1-…

Wow that's awesome, thank you for sharing it here. I used to work at TechSmith years ago. I would love it if they were a tenant in the new MSUFCU building or Mariott. Having more office workers downtown will grow the lunch crowd and other retail act…

Thank you! FBC will make many improvements over the current zoning code, but it won't fix the current problems since they will be grandfathered in. Introducing a new tax is something that if approved can affect underused and incompatible uses immedi…

There are ways to fix the problems created by land speculators. NYC has been pushing towards an added tax to pied-à-terre residences as an example of taxing people more for use cases that are not helping the community. Lansing could propose a higher…

Oh okay, thanks for that bit.

MSUFCU has lowered the height of their building downtown by 1 story (from 8 to 7) due to the work-from-home movement. This was a floor that they were planning to lease out to other businesses but many employers are now looking to shrink their office…

Lol I'm surprised I didn't notice the number of floors in the drawing. Being that it is for surgery maybe each floor has extra tall ceilings.
-
I was wondering if they were going to do that. I understand their reasoning but it would be better for all pedestrians if we put the money and time towards improving the street level crossing instead.

Definitely not a fan of surface parking lots, but with that said by relocating this building to be on the corner and placing all parking on the west side, there will be much better future opportunities to build on the surface parking lot with this n…

Looks like they will be facing this building away from the corner.

@Darklink, I posted about the Sparrow project at https://develop.metrolansing.com/discussions/discussion/7/sparrow-projects

Reviving an old thread here but I think it's better to keep things together in the long run... Sparrow announced today that they will build a 100,000 sqft (3 stories) building at the northwest corner of Michigan and Pennsylvania for outpatient su…

So sorry to hear about your brother gb, I second what MichMatters said. Thank you for all of your posts here, it really adds some nice character and backstory to the forum. My condolences.

Construction has started on the new Allen Neighborhood Center. From the article, "The three-story, 10,000-square-foot Allen Place Project is slated for completion in 2021." The facility will be home to the farmers market, an incubator kitchen, 21 re…
