  • Yep, posted about Cooper's Hawk just above. They've already started site-prep if that clearing is what I saw recently. It's just east of McCallisters.
  • Missed that we had a Planning Commission meeting this week. Looks like the most notable item was the Act 33 Review for the old Center for the Arts parking lot across from the bus station: Parking Lot #1 (P1). These are the reviews that happen when t…
  • Looks like the media is reporting tonight that the Lansing City Rescue Mission rezoning and special land use was approved.
  • Ah, I see. I was searching "505 E. Shiawassee" it skipped my down to the resolution for it. lol I like what they have planned in terms of aesthetics for 505; looks really tasteful. I hope they don't plan to do to 507 what is shown. If it need…
  • Another relatively slow month for development-related stuff - and I'm still not seeing anything for New Vision Lansing - but there appears to be a Brownfield Redevelopment plan for the old bar and neighboring Riverfront Cycle buildings at the northe…
  • Oh, no doubt. Most of my comments are about how nice they look, particularly given that they aren't high-end units, and it's adding much needed affordable housing in the area. They started painting them, today, in fact. But yeah, you just wish th…
  • I don't expect it, at all. It will require pressuring them; they don't do anything with lines they don't have to do. With all of the street construction and other utility construction going on around that area, that they didn't put them under with a…
  • That makes sense! What doesn't make sense is why they'd later put it back closer unless requested.
  • No, I've not heard any mention of it.
  • Market-rate building from today: I really thought they were going to bury the utilities, but what happened is that they extended the height of the poles, and simply moved what I think are the BWL wires up. So, some residents will still have a…
  • He needs to do what Ferguson did on Red Cedar and what Gentilozzi is doing with New Vision. You'd think he'd have been reaching out over these many, many, many years the Walter Neller property and adjoining parking lot has been vacant. He certainly …
  • Didn't know that Hepler's website had this project up. I'll go take a look. I feel like the down districts are mostly fine. There is more than enough room in DT-3 to make things happen. DT-1 is only along the fringes, anyway, and I'm not sure if …
  • Citykid, between the (east of Prudden) Motor Wheels neighborhood project and what's left in the factory, do you know how many units total this will be? We know the neighborhood project is over 200 (phased in). I saw that the council approved the cha…
  • Yes, apparently Grand was northbound, too, at once point. I'm not sure when they all got switched in the other direction. Probably after the freeway was opened.
  • I found this on CADL's website, and had no idea there was a parking garage next to the Masonic Temple: I can't find the date on this, but it appears from other photos it was present in the 1960's? Older photos from the 1950's show a one-s…
  • If you've followed our discussion on this project on here, you would know we weren't going to be happy with this. lol I'd been very clear I didn't want to see them move from the current location, so nothing would have made me happy. We're just stayi…
  • It's clearly just to enrich/payback politically-connected developers. It's the only kind of development the Bojis do in Lansing, really. lol
  • Many people don't care about this, anymore, but finding out that renovation is being outsourced to the Bojis doesn't sit well with me, and I wish public organizations did more stuff in-house like they used to. Whatever, it's going to happen, now.…
  • They announced this years ago, but apparently I hadn't caught it in the news. I didn't find out until earlier this summer when a relative stayed there. They were almost done with the renovation then, so it must be completed - or very near to on some…
  • The subdivision regulations thing should be in front of council soon - it hit an internal delay, but I'm hoping soon since it is holding up a potential project. Ooo, looking forward to seeing what this is. Have you heard anything about Tow…
