Demolition of Lansing's Walter Neller building scheduled. Here's when it will come down LANSING — The Walter Neller building is less than two weeks away from a June demolition date. Granger Group, which owns the 122 S. Grand Ave. building, is…

Looks like the Brownfield Redevelopment Board is going to pass the brownfield plan for the old commercial plaza at the corner of West Miller and South Washington. I really wish they were starting over, here, because everything sits back too far from…

Looking at the passed budget, noticed an item that will fund a feasibility study for a community center on the southeast side. You've got Foster on the eastside, Gier on the northside, Letts on the eastside, but only Schmidt in the geographically ex…

Was looking through the adopted budget, and something that caught my eye is that a major transfer was made from our "major streets fund" to our "local streets fund" so that we go from spending $4.48 million for local streets this fiscal year to $13…

Came across this photo on the historical society's facebook looking up Logan (MLK) at St. Joseph around 1972. gb, you've talked about this area, before. Church was a COGIC at the time, but was originally Mayflower Congregational. Though it's …

The city's Public Service Department construction map simply says "Planned for 2025" "Not Started." I do recall this was supposed to have happened months ago, so I have no idea what happened. They give the contact for this particular project as bein…

BTW, which version of the ADU ordinance did they pass? Edit: Looks like they used Hussein's amendment.

Did the amended form-based code and ADU ordinances pass, tonight?

It strikes me that the most obvious thing would be for the neighboring property owner to the west to buy it, and just knock down the wall between the two and market the larger space. Didn't one or the two of these have a fire some years back? I vagu…

Are the plans for the fish ladder in a parks commission agenda or something? Speaking of the ladder, there is a HUGE tree stretching the dam after storms weeks ago. I was surprised the BWL hadn't been out there to remove it as it can't be good for t…

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…
