Thanks for those updates! I took these photos years and years ago, now, at Tower on Grand. It just feels so weird to finally see construction after so many false starts. Still miss the old City Club building, though. At the time, it was the one o…

They must have put it behind a paywall. No, no additional renderings or anything. They say construction will not start any sooner than August of next year. They put the cost at $25 million and it's being developed by Craig Willian, of Develop Detroi…

Wait, the block between Cedar and Larch? South side, I assume? 308 E Cesar Chavez is the small building right next to Artic Corner; sounds like that'd just be a small renovation. This is what we've been waiting for forever, honestly, the resident…

Went up Grand, today, from Malcolm X - well, at least the portion not currently blocked. It was weird (in a pleasant way) to see Grand Vista Apartments, City Hall, Riverview and Tower on Grand all under construction within a few blocks. While I've b…

A proposal called Turner North on Turner at Dodge River Drive has been proposed. The 76-unit apartment building is also getting good reviews by the neighborhood. https://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/local/2025/04/29/old-town-lansing-apa…

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…
