gb, this is literally what we've talking about. lol The problem is, once you pass 4 or 5 stories, you're into "high rise" territory per code. That ups the costs because of all the additional requirements. Oh, I know. I'm saying I'm disapp…

Looks like they uploaded the story just now. Interesting. Sounds like the retail strip at the corner will remain. The Housing Commission (LHC) will tear down the old Davenport campus. The CATA facility they said would front on Lenawee. Still trying …

Paywalled LSJ article says Haslett Village (southwest corner of Haslett & Marsh) is shooting for a Fall construction start.

Thanks for those. I have to get back out and do this, sometime. Haven't been in the best of health to do it, though. Anyway, REO Town Gateway is SO BAD. I wasn't much bothered by the size like some here, because I never expected them to actuall…

An interesting project in next week's agenda. The old church at the northwest corner of Prospect and S. Holmes - a block south of Sparrow's Professional Building and Cancer/Heart Center - was sold about two years ago to Okemos developer T. A. Forsbe…

Caught a notice for bids from the county land bank for a new project consisting of a row of 5 attached homes right across from St. Lawrence in the City Pulse, last week: The property is currently a mix of vacant usage and a small urban garden…

The last thing you do is build on sand; it's bizarre. So perhaps he misspoke, because if that site ever had to be redeveloped, that's going to be costly to fix. That's not even to mention that a basement is valuable space for a whole number of reaso…

Yes, that's what I posted.

Jeeze, this was a quick one. Either that, or I hadn't know how long they were working on it. Sound like the walls are the only thing they kept; they even talk of having filled in the basement with sand which I didn't understand for a number of reaso…

Next week's planning commission has some proposed rezonings for some residential projects. The first and major one is a suburban Kalamazoo developer looking to develop a 55-unit single-family and duplex development at the southwest corner of Miller …

This has been under construction for quite awhile, now, but the paper finally did a piece on it: Lofts Work begins on $33M affordable housing development in Stadium District LANSING — Developers have begun work on a $33 million affordabl…

Heard from a little birdy that there is a proposal to reconfigure MLK between the freeway and Ionia Street. Not sure about too many of the details or how far along this is, but they are talking about getting rid of the boulevard. I'm not exactly sur…

Lansing Twp property website shows it having been sold to a shell co. in December, which if I can recall I said belonged to Dymaxion. Unfortunately, they don't maintain permit records and projects on the BS&A website like Lansing does.

Nice! I really like how many old school buildings have been reused in Lansing.

Looks like there is a good site at the corner of Service & Hagadorn. Other than that, it makes me wonder the other areas they expand into in this area? Because right now, it's pretty well hemmed in by the Crop & Soil laboratory in the southe…

"south academic district within the biomedical discovery neighborhood near the colleges of Nursing and Human Medicine student-facing functions" Is this the area around the clinical center? I've never gotten my head around all of these new des…

The Farm Lane bridge carries significant infrastructure, specifically power and telecommunications lines. The new bridge will carries these plus redundant/secondary water and steam mains to better help serve north campus as the existing ones under t…

It's my understanding the Niowave news was announced with the airport news because they were talking about Niowave's airport facilty. I'm still a bit confused, though, because the distant rendering they released shows a new building where the airpor…

I think they announced soon after the bond passed, last year, that the kids were being moved to Woodcreek. Demolition was actually slated for late fall/early winter of last year. I guess this is something you can do when you have mouthballed schools…

A year out? Perhaps the deal with the land is to let the farmer go through one more growing & harvesting season, because, otherwise, it doesn't make any sense to take that long from the rezoning. And the interesting thing is that reading the boa…
