  • MSUFCU Building courtesy the City of East Lansing's twitter account:
  • To be clear, again, they don't own any of the land in this area save for the half-lot fronting Washington at the current development site at Lake Trust. It's owned by various private property owners, business associations, and the city owns a parkin…
  • Nice find. They don't particularly own a lot of property; they strike me as big dreamers. But it's always great to have a concept ready. I really like the concept. I've always thought that they needed to tie downtown and REO Town together bet…
  • https://twitter.com/LSJNews/status/1519802658713972736 Love that Haslett and Okemos's old town centers are densifying. And, yep, Meridian Township changed its zoning code some years back to loosen parking requirements in its centers. I belie…
  • I was wondering if they were ever going to do anything with the old Faculty Bricks site.

  • Yeah, they Heights has never been able to pay back enough of the bonds put out to develop it, and the Township has had to keep putting money into paying them off so as not to default. So its increasingly eating up more and more of the townships reve…
  • Looks like the resolution to put on the ballot the sell of the small part of parkland at North Cemetery on Miller for some fourplexes is up for approval next week; I'd brought this up in late Feb. The land was deeded to the cemetery but was never ne…
  • Looks like the Trader Joe's across from Whole Foods is moving forward. I'd not known the Golden Wok had closed. From the City Pulse: MONDAY, April 18 — Long-sought plans to bring a Trader Joe’s to Greater Lansing are moving forward as schedu…
  • I don't think so? I'm fine with them, though. I love with breaking up some of the asphalt.

  • I can't find the article, but like two or three weeks ago the state for the first time announced actual plans to turn the area between the Hall of Justice and the Capitol Complex into a park. This has been a concept for years, but that's the first t…
  • I'd laugh, but this is exactly why this portion of the township, at least, should be taken from them. How they continuously face bankruptcy over Eastwood take a special kind of stupid mismanagement, and their residents are paying for it with special…
  • Heh, looks like the property has finally been sold and building permits were pulled on it last month for three different buildings. But it says the permits expire in September. So I have no idea what this is. Actually, looking closer is says 3 id…
  • The Medical Services Building (MSB2) is now under construction. From last week on the GG twitter account:
  • A little thing, but the city will be purchasing a little lot (44 x 99) for $1 from the Land Bank at the S Grand and E Hazel in Riverpoint to expand Riverpoint Park. The old house that was on it (circa 1900) was apparently torn down last year, and th…
  • Looking at next week's planning board agenda, it appears that Sparrow is proposing building another skywalk; this one would go over Pennsylvania (closer to Jerome than Michigan) to connect the new surgical center with the main campus parking garage.…
  • I was under the impression this (parking lot sell) passed the other night; looks like it's just a public hearing for it from the article. In any case, I don't see anything that could get in the way of this. The city is actively looking to unload pro…
  • A 301-unit housing development proposed at Haslett Village Square site in Meridian Twp. HASLETT — Developers have submitted conceptual plans to bring 301 new housing units to Meridian Township with a Haslett Village Square project they hope to s…
