It's the site prep stage, so they haven't needed to ask for much of anything for that, at least nothing that needed to go through council. Rezoning already happened. Now they are working on the new OPRA as I spoke about above.

I'd posted a graphic of Pointe West a few pages back, but I forgot where I got the image from. I can only imagine it was from a council agenda, as that's what's publicly available. But I could find it in any of the agendas. But the search and functi…

The huge development at Motor Wheels seems to be doing site prep. The old houses at or near the corner of Penn and Saginaw have been torn down. Edit: Went back through the council agendas to see if I could find what I'd originally found on West P…

Planning Commission for tomorrow has a planned development review for the Howard & Michigan development. As usual though, we don't know what this is because the township does not post agenda packets online.

It's been fascinating and frustrating to learn how MSHDA and banks work against urban development. I'd really like to see some documentation on MSHDA requirements so we can write our legislators or the administration to get these silly and unproduct…

Not sure why those facebook photos aren't showing up. Anyway, Hood, you were right; I got it confirmed today by the infrastructure department that the ped bridge next to Farm Lane will be permanent, even though there will be sidewalks on the complet…

I'm confused. I thought this was all one project (220). Where would this be relative to the other one?

Wait, what do you mean by second building for the Cherry Hill project?

Not exactly sure how this works, maybe citykid remembers more of this, but Hepler is requesting the revocation of his OPRA ceritificate for the property up on May Street. I guess it's because the scope of the project is changing from office space to…

Healthcare news: MSU closes on deal to purchase Meridian Twp. property for MSU Health Care The university has closed on a deal to buy a 13-acre property in Meridian Township that contains two buildings used by MSU Health Care. The two …

I really enjoy Old Bag of Nail over at Red Cedar Renaissance. It's going to be so cool to see the water flowing when the drain project is completed later this year.

We keep calling it a tunnel, but that would essentially be a skywalk, which wouldn't be the worst thing. The problem is not that it's a tunnel, it's that it's a whole damn parking garage built over the street. We literally just corrected that mistak…

I heard someone say that the parking was required to get financing for this; I hope that's not true. I'm not a fan of building over the street, either, but my thing is that you literally have a parking garage next to another parking garage; it's ove…

Reading more of this, I'm a bit excited that so much of this will be workforce housing, and because so much of this is funded with the affordable housing grants we got in the state budget, this isn't a wishful-thinking set of projects. A huge part o…

Oh, not today. We're not going to start pessimism, today; not with the tallest building proposed in downtown Lansing in since forever. lol Initial complaint to me is that having your tallest book-ended by parking garages in 2023 seems to be going…

Was trying to see if I could pull up any clues about tomorrow, and noticed the three lots immediately south of the South Grand Parking Garage and north of the Grand Tower sold for $2 million (I'm not sure if it's apiece or altogether) back in March,…

The QD thing was just some big dumpsters outside and the windows looked new, so it's possible it wasn't even any construction. The Lansing Industrial Center behind it looks like it was also getting new windows or something. I feel like "transform…

Looks like at their meeting last month, the Lansing EDC is set to repurchase the small surface lot at the northwest corner of Michigan & Cedar next to the Lansing Center for $280,000, the price they sold it to the Sault Ste. Marie Chippewa back …
