  • An update on the "Park District" development, located on the land that was to be used for the City Center 2 development, DTN Management Co. was selected by the East Lansing City as staff’s recommendation to City Council. East Lansing Senior Projec…
  • Yes, I saw that on Saturday night, and I really like their entrance that they have facing Grand Blvd. They did a real nice job with that building
  • I'm pretty disappointed at MSU's continued push south as they work on eliminating parking lots between Wilson Rd and the Red Cedar river. This building could have gone on one of those surface lots, and it would have been nice infill. Instead, the un…
  • JNL has publicly come forward about the Barnes & Noble site. They said that it will be "a training center for college students and others, company leaders said today. The insurer confirmed it is the potential office user for the vacant bookstore…
  • I took some pictures today of some the two new buildings on Albert St. http://develop.metrolansing.com/pictures/IMG_0016.jpg http://develop.metrolansing.com/pictures/IMG_0017.jpg http://develop.metrolansing.com/pictures/IMG_0018.jpg http://dev…
  • The windows on the old Taco Bell/National Coney Island are all boarded up, with the exception of the door to the building. I didn't hear of any news about a fire there, so my hope is that the windows are boarded up while interior work is being done …
  • I expect that he'll have tenants lease a parking spot from the city in the Habitrail parking garage, which would be my preferred outcome. When the meeting packet is finalized it will be uploaded to http://www.cityofeastlansing.com/meetings/, but …
  • Lingg Brewer has had this project under plans for quite a few years. A while back he got in to a fight with the city council about it. There should be mentions of this project that you can find by searching the forum. I hope that this project can ge…
  • I'm pretty sure that they are two different companies and are unrelated. This all appears to be stemming from the rezoning that happened a couple years back. That was a great move that should have been done a while ago. I'm curious what other areas …
  • The renderings above are for the project that will be located next door, at the gas station. Construction hasn't commenced on that project yet.
  • Here are some mockups from the DTN proposed development on Grand River that would tear down the original Biggby location and use the vacant land directly across the street. http://screencast.com/t/f6GcSxTT7tu http://screencast.com/t/iOwWp3d2V D…
  • MichMatters, is it possible to share the low-res rendering of the Lurvey White proposal? I would prefer that Lurvey White gets the project, because DTN may still end up getting the CADA-owned properties. I would prefer more diversity in developer…
  • Gillespie Group has a link to a siteplan for the old Silver Dollar location on Michigan Avenue. It looks like they are proposing a midlevel building (~4 floors) with a bank in the front. The building will have a narrow frontage but run deep along…
  • I fixed the link, you can try again.

  • The Barnes & Noble location on Grand River in downtown East Lansing now has some interior remodeling underway. I haven't seen anything posted in the news about it, but they have all the windows covered with construction paper and taped shut. Onl…
  • Morril Hall is now under demolition. The plans call for a decorative sidewalk and landscaping design that will match the footprint of the historical building.
  • Yeah, I agree, it really turns it's back to the riverfront and makes the playground back up to an office building :-/ On a side note, can you resize the image to a more manageable size?

  • The commercial part of the building will be 1200 sq ft, only about enough for a small Subway or convenience store. It would have been nice to see more commercial along the front of the building. I wonder what kind of requirements the city has for pa…
  • I found the plans for the 504 Michigan Avenue development. This will be the front of the building. The metal gate you see in the middle is decorative and not designed to be an entrance for cars. Entrance to the first floor parking will be via Lou…
