Yes, as I said, it appears the new building will extend from Saginaw north to where the first curb cut is on Washington (and then overhang the driveway). I assume, then, that everything else will be parking and landscaping. The "site" is actually …

Reported on this back in September, but it looks like the Michigan Realtors association on the 700 block of North Washington across from Durant Park continue to move forward on the redevelopment of their site. They are seeking a brownfield designat…

I'd forgotten I'd even reported on it back in December. lol

Looks like I'd already posted about it back in December. I guess the difference is that there is now a bit more information about this.

Looks like the land sale is going to the ballot: https://twitter.com/CityofEL/status/1225054480418340872

Reading the history of M-39 and its realignments on Michigan Highways, you're right. By 1936, M-39 was rerouted so that it came into Lansing from the west on Saginaw, turned south on Larch and then continued east on Michigan to Grand River in downt…

From a few days ago from GG's facebook page: Not a fan of the architecture (I'm a broken record, now), but it does a great job of filling in the streetwall.

https://twitter.com/MDOT_LanJxn/status/1174670510816419840 At this time, from what I've been able to find, M-39 ran along Saginaw Highway, so were M-43 runs, today. Still having a hard time picturing exactly where this was, though it'd have to b…

Yeah, almost exactly a year ago when we were going through the final amendment to the development agreement, the developer said that only one plinth is left, and it appears to be the one that will support the dual-brand hotel and one of the student …

Maintaining roads isn't really rocket science. Most other states do it fairly well. It simply requires that you not run a lost-cost-low-services state, and that is a political choice. We chose last decade to run our state like Indiana instead of …

With the election of a new councilmember a few months ago, it looks like the Form-Based Code (FBC) - a new zoning code for the city which would encourage more urban-focused development - will actually get to council this year and has a better chance…

Local roads can't be fixed with the options she has absent the legislature helping; and they don't want to help because they don't want to give her a political win and because they don't believe in additional revenues absent taking money from other …

As part of the governor's announcement during her State of the State speech last night, we get news today of the major freeway and highway projects in the Lansing area that will be moved up. Mostly notably is the reconstruction of 496 between 96 an…

New rendering from GG put out yesterday from the hotel side of things:

Which, then, is why I don't get why they are building another one and in East Lansing. The University Corporate Research Park is not built out. East Lansing also has a higher total millage rate than Lansing.

Spartan Village is in East Lansing, though the University Corporate Research Park being in Lansing shows that they don't really care which city the campus is in. In fact, a significant part of Forest Akers Golf Course - the entrance and parking lot…

Major new development planned at the old Spartan Village: EAST LANSING – Michigan State University is planning a new innovation park on campus, the head of the school's governing board said Friday morning. Board of Trustees Chair Dianne Byrum…

You got it, Hood. City records showing them adding an elevator. The permit expires in April. So it's another elevator tower. Oh, and GB, we were both right about what's going on at the old Rum Runners bar at the northwest corner of Michigan an…

Last week's throwback Thursday shows City Hall what looks to be very soon after it was completed. Photo if from CADL:

They'd have likely mentioned ground floor retail if there was going to be some, and given it's the college, I doubt they are going to add anything to it that isn't absolutely necessary, which is why I'm particularly disappointed that it's the colleg…
