  • After quite a bit of delay, it looks like they started on Esker Square in Holt: You have been asking, and now it's finally official - construction on Esker Square is forging ahead!!! "'What I wish the residents of Delhi Township knew is h…
  • I see the framing for the second floor on the apartment side started either this weekend or today.
  • Yeah, it appears Trowbridge Village owns the site, but it's so narrow the only thing they'd likely use it for it to expand the existing parking lot for the apartments located directly to the west. Looking it up on the Ingham County equalization map…

  • For 6425 S. Penn, this is the one they've been trying to developer as a dispensary since at least the beginning of the year. What makes these things hard to nail down before construction is that they need a permit from both the city and the state. …
  • Well, it looks like the dispensary going up at the notheast corner of Penn and Saginaw (700-708 East Penn) isn't going to reuse the tiny Golf House structure, after all. While driving by, today, I noticed they'd torn down the building and were exca…
  • 1. The Cottage at Gaslight Village were finally approved. 2. Rockwood Assisted Living (6290, 6330, 6350 & vacant land Abbot Road) comes back up before the planning commission next Wednesday. As a reminder, this is a 3-phase development consi…
  • The developer is seeking to modify the site plan and special use permit to increase the height of the stand-alone apartment building on Evergreen (Building C) from 5 stories to 6 stories (to 64'-0"), raising the unit count from 72 to 99. They are a…
  • I've been waiting to see this story forever. For those of us who've lived here for some time, we've known about the prevelance of black squirrels in East Lansing, and this article goes into the history of why: Why are there so many black squirre…
  • Looks like a small part of the elevator shaft/core collapse at the top. The anti-high-rise/anti-development people are going to be thrilled about this, I'm sure.
  • I believe the Block600 rendering on the site is actually an older one; not 100% sure but what you see on the sign on the site is likely what's going to get built. Uh-oh: https://twitter.com/CityofEL/status/1184187387670401024
  • It's making the best of a bad situation, but like a lot of these areas, the problem is with the basic site plan of the plaza. There is too much parking and the building is set too far back. A lot of these shopping centers need to simply be torn do…
  • My guess is that like with a lot of these older buildings, they will carve out a light court from the second floor up, that's really the only way you're going to get 31 apartments in this building.
  • I thought exactly the opposite, that 31 apartments for a building of this size sounds like very small apartments. The brownfield plan shows that they will be quite small. They are branded "workforce" units, which are very small and cheap apartment…
  • Well, it's been almost a year, but it looks like the rezoning of old Deluxe Inn site is set for passage next Monday according to next week's city council agenda. Still no news on what's been holding this up in recent months, and there is still no s…
  • News on the Temple Club: Historic Temple Building in Old Town to get $9 million renovation THURSDAY, OCT. 9 — Lansing is poised to approve yet another “brownfield” redevelopment plan, this time for a $9 million renovation of the historic Beth…

  • This is the infrastructure phrase of the project. It would be nearly logistically impossible in this region to finish all that is planned within a year. They've got to do all kinds of infrastructure work before they can even think about building o…
  • Darklink, the township doesn't have agenda packets are anything; everything they do is pretty sparse. So you don't really find out any details until it gets to media if it ever does. Their meetings meetings are also pretty sparse compared to the o…
  • Updates from last night's city council meeting: https://us17.campaign-archive.com/?u=d99498ce3806962a5ede26662&id=787dd2d48b 1. Approved site plan and special use permit (SPU) for Jolly Pumpkin, a brewery, winery, distillery and artisan pizza…
