  • Yeah it's the right size for the area, but as with MSUFCU it would have been great if these buildings were built in the urban cores.
  • That's interesting. The sign for The Orchard was definitely at the site of The Rocks before construction of The Rocks and the website for The Orchard is no longer up. I guess The Orchard and The Cottages are different and I was confused. But The Orc…
  • I agree. It looks like there are only shutters facing Chandler Rd. It would have been nice if they included shutters next to all of the windows throughout the rest of the development. By the way, The Rocks is what ended up getting built at the si…
  • I went by Frandor today and got this picture of the new Sparrow facility at the corner of Saginaw and 127, it's the building in with the green insulation/walls. Looks like a good sized building, would have been great to see it on a smaller foot…
  • Three new pictures from East Lansing today. The first is the site of the Red Cedar Flats development that Scott Chapelle is building on Grand River. Nobody working on the site today and it's been in this state for a few weeks. Not sure what the d…
  • I went by the site today and took a picture from the Frandor Plus parking lot. This picture shows the height of the water tower next to the building as well as the Frandor sign.
  • I went by today and they are busy working on adding in the extra floors. The construction site was pretty busy. Here's a picture of the walls going in.
  • How much do you think the crane collapse has slowed them down? Worth noting that work didn't slow down much on the St. Anne Lofts when one of the upper floors collapsed.
  • The steel frame is now up on the site, showing a glimpse of the height of the development. It can be seen for some distance east down Grand River. http://imgur.com/kegkQP1
  • Will there be two more concrete sections added on top of the current cement towers?
  • Panda Express will be opening a location in the ground floor of the State News building on Grand River. The State News will be moving to the second floor of the building. http://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/local/2016/03/09/panda-expres…
  • We're coming up to the 10-year anniversary of this site. I can't believe it! The oldest comments I can find on the site are dated July 30th, 2006. I'd like to organize a couple "walk-arounds" to celebrate. We can meet up in downtown Lansing an…
  • The article MichMatters linked to says that there were boards on top of these planks, so it wouldn't be as bumpy of a ride as the picture makes it look like. Those boards were removed when the street was put in, but the planks remained as they provi…
  • Any idea as to the oldest street in Lansing? Michigan Ave is likely the oldest *main* street in the city, stretching from Detroit to Lansing via boardwalk, but I'm curious if there were streets/pathways that existed before Michigan Ave.
  • The BWL is not the only one to complain to, it's also the City who is on the other side of the deal. Is is also radio-silence on their side too?
  • Moving discussion of Stonehouse Village VI to its own thread now that it appears to have some legs.
  • Thanks for posting. Looks like they also removed the eastern connection to Brody, which was expected because I didn't think MSU was going to want the thru traffic. It looks to be replaced with a pedestrian pathway.
  • Oh cool, I didn't realize that Frandor parking lot adjustments were still in play.
  • Yeah, I'm happy for the changes to Ranney, though I dislike that this is essentially "solving" the Frandor runoff problem. Frandor has acres of paved parking lots that need to have green areas integrated, and this sort of sweeps that problem under t…
  • Does the plan at http://develop.metrolansing.com/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=127&page=5#Item_5 look like it will remove ballfield, tennis courts, and skatepark at the south end of the park?
