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 shee 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 …

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 …

Certainly, I can always do with less surface parking. But it fits in with the surrounding neighborhood, which is suburban. You're not going to build a new "downtown" off of Trowbridge; you wouldn't want to. This is far more dense than anything I exp…

I'm so glad to see them reuse this space on campus. I'd worried they were going to leave this area "greenspace" and sprawl their development, so I'm pleasantly surprised. It looks like they really want to bring up the Harrison corridor as another ax…

Had not even heard of this one. Wow. Pretty nice siting. I'm not sure I understand the ground lease and all of that. Would that be for the whole site or part of it? I don't understand why they wouldn't just be co-developer with whoever they partner …

The township board approved the site plan for the ALDI. The chain is not providing any information about construction, but the township planning director expects it to be built this year. At 20,600 square feet, this will be a bit larger than the 17,…

Not much new going on. Looks like they are well into grading and preparing the foundation for Riverview 220. The part of the site fronting Cherry has been raised a bit to bring it more in line with the elevation of Grand, which gets it out of the fl…

BTW, just found that the city has a map of local, state and federal registers on their website: https://content.civicplus.com/api/assets/2fbd3892-820b-4b83-8e7a-f6be6e80bb96
