  • 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 …
  • Yeah, I'm disappointed by the large surface lot and the parking right up next to the residential buildings. I would prefer that the parking ramp have one or two more floors added and all surface parking removed. I think the location is close enough …
  • The project timeline has construction starting on phase 1 in September/October of 2015 and phase 2 starting in June 2016. The full project should be complete by August 2017. Isometric rendering More details can be found in the Construction Jun…
  • 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!
  • This is a birds-eye view picture of 2900 Place in East Lansing from Bing Maps, http://screencast.com/t/0FVRThZf
  • Here's a picture of Lansing Towers for comparison. The thread is much better with pictures From http://lansingdowntown.com/Lansing-Tower,
  • 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.
  • It's new to me. I couldn't find anything more on it online. The public notice says it is proposed by Stonehouse Village VI LLC (which was actually incorporated in 2009 according to http://www.bizapedia.com/addresses/117-CENTER-ST-EAST-LANSING-MI-488…
  • Wow that's great news! The Stonehouse Village property on Grand River is a good mixed-use development. Having another one of it's kind right across the street and especially at the same height as the other Stonehouse Villages will create a nice dens…
  • Yeah, The Rocks are to the south of Tim Hortons, just south of the access drive to the East Lansing Soccer Complex. This is the property here, https://goo.gl/maps/VTpNO
  • I don't see the rendering on their site anymore, did they take it down or am I not looking in the right place?
  • I think this is the Harrison side because the stadium is wider on the Harrison side IIRC and this view shows it as being on one of the "wider" sides.
  • Wow, I'm upset that the project is scaled down, but I guess I shouldn't get too caught up in it because I don't have any confidence that the project will even go forward with the reduced size. It really is a wonder how this property can sit like thi…
