Hood, in this earlier rendering, it appears the first floor on the hotel side is, indeed, part of the hotel. It doesn't appear the market stretches the entire site unless they changed the design further. In that case, I imagine there is en el…

The residents of the apartments apparently have a private entrance to the market. That's definitely a great selling point for the apartments. https://twitter.com/GillespieGrp/status/1311670338498035712 Kind of curious if they have one for th…

The Lansing City Pulse has a fascinating piece about the Capitol renovations, and most notably mentions that Heritage Hall will be two-stories, which is a change from what we'd heard about the downsized project: The project is all the more compl…

East Lansing Planning Commission on Wednesday held these public hearings: * The reintroduction of the plan to turn the western retail space in 300 West Grand River Avenue into 6 efficiency units. This was originally proposed back in 2018, but they…

Looks like they are saying at least site prep could begin in less than two months, in fact. https://twitter.com/LSJNews/status/1309135762093477890

Looks like the council unanimously approved the MSUFCU project downtown. They are shooting for a January start of construction. BTW, we say yesterday the angle of the building from the north which shocked some people. But be assured it's only being …

We have a friendly governor this cycle; I'm not sure why this isn't on anyone's radar. The state properties are managed by the Department of Technology, Management & Budget, and specifically the State Facilities Administration offices, I believe…

I'll have to check this out. This is on the building across Kalamazoo from the bus station: https://twitter.com/downtownlansing/status/1308527327354195968

Most of the major executive offices are in the Capitol Complex. And not every state has a capitol complex, so the offices are all around the downtown area and beyond. Only thing around the Capitol Square is the Governor's office and the legislature'…

It's an Adams Advertisement billboard; it will most certainly be used for ads, at the very least for their store. It's why I'm mixed on it. The pictures I saw today were very nice, but I'm imaging when they are pushing sells on milk and such and how…

Sabatoa, Very interesting link! It looks like - and if you look closely you can see it in the tweet - Scheme C would have saved the Capitol Building, but for what it's not made apparent. This actually wouldn't have been bad now that I look at it…

I mean, the truth is that the parking ban between 2AM and 5AM was never really enforced, anyway. So this really just makes official what's been going on de facto for years. We live in a snowy climate, so we're better at it than places where it's mor…

Looks like the council voted last night to remove the parking ban on streets between 2AM and 5AM, and abolished the parking permit system enacted last night. I'm glad to see it go. Cars would still need to be moved for snow plowing and such, but no …

I am SO happy this never happened. https://twitter.com/MIStateCapitol/status/1308017239375798273

There is an vacation request introduced for a 444 feet utility easement of Case Street at 1401 Case in Northtown for today's council meeting. This is to allow the owner to relocate the existing utilities in the easement (which currently only serves …

A few more pictures, these from the mayor's twitter account: The exterior lighting has also been installed. The apartment and market section really came together well and looks better than the rendering. The hotel portion, though, looks a…

Just to be clear, Volaris isn't being marketed to undergrads. It's being marketed to the future workers at McLaren, visiting scientists to the cyclotron and FRIB on campus, etc. The rents are very high for this area of town - almost $1,400 for a 1 b…

Darklink, it is interesting how businesses grew organically on Michigan Avenue. The houses came first, and then people decided to add storefronts on them as the city grew. A really interesting one is Jon Anthony Florists. If you've ever been there a…
