The hotel that is planned for Trowbridge Rd may be a Hilton franchise. This will be East Lansing's seventh hotel, and East Lansing would like to see another hotel built within the East Village development. Cite: http://www.statenews.com/article.…

The work that is going on at the corner of Hagadorn and Mt. Hope in East Lansing/Okemos is for another student housing complex dubbed "The Hamptons". The State News is reporting that it will be 1,200 sq ft (an obvious typo, unless they mean per uni…

I hope the development will be incorporating the river. I don't think I can put enough emphasis on how important it is for a project like this to start shifting the focus towards the river.

I didn't know how much the MSP would occupy of the 148,000 sq ft.
-
hood, do you think adding 148,000 sq ft will fill the class A office space that you have been saying Lansing could use? I remember you talking about the vacancy rate for class A office space, and that it is low enough for another building. Will th…

thats kind of what i expect, and i would hope that they build it closer to the river, allowing leaving the surface parking lot near the curb for more infill. or maybe building it near the corner, and leaving a lot of greenspace near the river.

The previous gas station that was there had a problem with robberies, due to the way the city required the gas station be developed. I would believe that the city would require the same style gas station if another were to be built or reoccupied, a…

Yeah, that's what it looks like. With property values decreasing now as they are, maybe developers will be smart and start buying up properties quietly and holding on to them until the market gets better and then decide to develop or sell.

I'm not sure how much I like the Rite Aid that is being proposed, I don't particularly like drive-thrus, but there isn't much pedestrian movement on that part of Saginaw. I think the city should require the developer to include sidewalks along the …

On the city council's agenda for tomorrow: Consideration of a Special Use Permit and Site Plan; An application from Tass Mekani to construct a 3-story, 78-room hotel on the vacant 1.5 acre property at the rear of 1100 Trowbridge Road. The buil…

That's good. I'm happy that projects like Prudden Place have turned out successful enough for the developers to be actively pursuing a second phase.
-
Yeah, as much as I would have loved to see a 12 story condo high-rise in East Lansing, it doesn't fit that block that much. I would expect something about half the height, or maybe up to 8 stories at the maximum. I don't think there is enough infi…

They have begun to remove street side parking near Kresge Art Museum and the Chapel on campus. I am not sure if they are planning to redo the road and replace the streetside parking, but the trend that MSU is following means that the parking will n…

That's too bad to hear about Prudden Place, but I would think that labor would be cheaper with a bad economy. I'd like to see the webcam view, it'll be a nice feature for somebody who doesn't make it down Michigan Ave that often.

Thanks for the update LMich. What are you standing on top of for this view?

The Dublin Square Irish Pub is expected to open at the end of this week or next week. This is the project in the old East Lansing post office and the former location for the Evergreen Grill. Here is a link to an article in the State News: http:/…

Yeah, there were four designs. Two of the four only used half of the site, and the other two used the whole site. One of them featured a lake that was larger than a football field, and others had small "rivers" flowing near the river that would …

I went to the meeting on Tuesday for the East Village plan, and looking back, I am surprised that I didn't put an update on here about that. The concepts were still not that concrete, not knowing how tall or how dense buildings would be. The mos…

What do you think that structure was for?

On Monday, Hagadorn road will be closed from Grand River to Shaw Lane as the Ingham County Road Commission installs a new bridge. The new bridge will be six lanes wide, as the previous/current one is four lanes wide. The pedestrian bridge will sta…
