I'm not sure honestly. I mean I see your reasoning...long term maybe but it seems like there is a ways to go before that happens. I don't think density would work on the Westside, but I think its highway access is more significant. As a commuter,…

I forget about Boarshead all the time. It is a shame we don't have a better and more prominent "museum, culture and arts" type district. With how much people seem to love Impression 5, it's always amazed me that there isn't a more significant …

Is there that much demand on the Eastside of Lansing though? Seems like they have a lot of existing housing that could use improvements before expansion. I definitely don't see the appeal or draw of the area, but maybe it's just an outsiders view.…

Yeah, I agree. It's nice variety downtown, but it might not be suited for that market, which is disappointing. I also would guess Old Town is too "high rent" for them. The crowd might make it worth it though.

That's too bad. My family and I used to spend a decent amount there, and found some great original stuff. However, most of what I remember is when they were at the Liberman Building. I only went a couple of times when they were I'm the basement o…

Yeah, I too had assumed a grow facility because of the blocked up windows, solid doors and chemical placards (common at all the geow facilities) on the doors.

So...I have family that is involved on the financing side that has seen the new design. Unfortunately, he did not have a copy to share haha. He's very good about being discrete, so I haven't seen it...I just know there is already something out the…

Oh wow, sorry. I just looked back and somehow glanced over that project in the original post. My apologies. I'd been focused on the child development lab, with it being in Lansing, and must've just honed in on that.

Has anyone already mentioned this? I don't think I'd seen anything about it...I don't pay for Crain's so I don't get much more than the headline. https://www.crainsdetroit.com/economic-development/michigan-state-university-plans-new-sports-are…

I agree with everything said. We shouldn't be lacking benefactors like we are. I'll also say I did away with following lansing reddit because it was so contrary to what I truly believed the community to be. Social media in general regarding Lansi…

Yeah, that's always been something I point out to people. Lansing really doesn't have any major benefactors. We've been doing as well as we have been without any wealthy philanthropists, and I think that says something. I also have to point out a…

I've done projects on large high schools of similar age. Failing roofs, horribly outdated MEP, failing replacement windows, etc. We regularly are adding AC, replacing a central steam building with new heating, updating mechanical and plumbing, rep…

Yeah, I've totally expected it to be a suburban industrial park. One can hope for something better though lol. I'd always seen it proposed to be an industrial park. The commercial along Verlinden would be nice.

I'd love to see the Westside Neighborhood extended into the site, and dome well, but I'm not holding my breath.

Sorry for the delay in responding. I was thinking it was the short axis that was 120', but now I'm second guessing myself for a double loaded, residential corridor. I'm going to have to look at some past projects, and maybe a coworker that's done …
-
That can work, but biggest bang for your buck will have a corridor down the center and units on both sides. Developers generally want that and have a depth of 120-140. So your scenario could work but only if they're willing to be less efficient wi…
-
Nice to see the massing of these projects, thanks for that. The one thing that comes to mind for the first housing concept is that the corridors are going to most likely be double loaded, and I'm not sure units facing the parking structure are desi…
-
Yes! The Lansing subreddit drove me crazy, so I just gave up on it lol. I couldn't believe what came out of it sometimes.
-
That is why I got off a lot of socials, most recently reddit. The comments just had me constantly losing my temper and faith in humanity. That said, it's horrible to hear people in favor of tearing down a historical structure like Eastern. My bet…

Well put. With you 100% @hood.
