Wait, so Tower on Grand did request one? BTW, look forward to seeing which ADU ordinance they ultimately approve. It's kind of rare to see them refer to competing ordiances to council at the same time.

Thanks! The big ones I noticed are the Neogen and Sparrow combinations. Glad to finally be able to visualize that. Still funny to me that neither of the housing projects in Cherry Hill nor Tower on Grand have done lot cominations despite both being …

Well, let me know how it turned out.

Is it that both are going to be discussed at the Development & Planning Committee? The "clean" version is listed after Hussein's. Here's the agenda packet for the committee meeting: https://lansingmi.portal.civicclerk.com/event/7037/files/attach…

Yes, Scott owns Gillespie Company and Pat owns the larger Gillespie Group. Well, that's interesting. I had no idea that Liberty Christian was even vacant. I'd have liked to see a new build, but it's just as well that an older interesting building…

Yes, that's 99.9% what's getting built. But it was just funny to see in the Housing Commission public notices them keep referring to it as a single 4-story building. lol You think someone would have caught that.

I keep forgetting to mention that Hillsdale Place townhomes at MLK and Hillsdale started prep work weeks ago, the 40-unit project on the former site of old Union Missionary Baptist. The funny thing is that the Lansing Housing Commission's "findin…

@citykid was looking at next week's Development & Planning Committee material, and see the FBC amendment and ADU ordinance is back up for discussion like you said. What I was curious about is that there are like three different versions of the A…

Hood, you posted about this last September, but WLNS is reporting on MSU starting one of its child development labs in Lansing, but there is not information given aside from Gillespie Company is developing it on "the Eastside." Seems like a weird an…

LSJ had a story yesterday concerning the redevelopment of the Sears site at Frandor, and Gillespie is pawning off the delay in redevelopment on FEMA's floodplain mapping not yet being completed. https://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/loca…

City has a "sidewalk gap closure" program (which also includes paved trails) in addition to its regular repair program for existing sidewalks. If I'm looking at the proposed budget correctly, they are going to budget $100,000 for the next fiscal yea…

When a site like this is developed, the property owner has to put in sidewalks. And back on page 514 where I posted the rendering, it's shown. And fortunately in the case of East Miller, you also have a full-length paved shoulder/bike lane on each s…

MSU is only developing the arena. The rest is being developed by the private companies, which are Goldenrod Companies out of Omaha and Gillespie Group. The Wellness Center is an MSU-developed project.

Interesting. Would love to see the new renderings and site plans. Looking back at the previous packet - there does not appear to be one for the most recent meeting - they were originally putting this at 74 feet, so they shaved 64 feet off. Hopefully…

LSJ is reporting Gillespie Group is part of the development team for this one, which I'm not exactly happy to hear about. lol Also, they too make note that the land lease is unusual for an on-campus project like this. The university will build the a…

Wait, when was the last Board of Zoning Appeals meeting? I didn't know they'd even resubmitted this; you'd said they'd pulled it. BTW, speaking of the BZA, I noticed that WLNS has fence post up in their front yard. Never checked back on this one,…

Yeah, we talked about this in the General Lansing Development thread a few months ago. GB even brought up at an LSJ article spoke of a March demolition. I'm not sure what has happened, but it's just good to see New Vision finally happening.
-
I see that a permit for foundation construction was pulled on March 3rd for Tower on Grand, so this is definitely officially a go. The permit talks of a 27-floor tower and a WLNS article said it will be 320 feet tall. There was also a demolition per…

They held the formal ground-breaking for these projects, today, and on the site of Tower on Grand: New Vision Lansing project, including 28-story skyscraper, breaks ground in Lansing LANSING — The dirt was carefully prepared, hidden from …
