Well, it's dead, again...for now. lol Park Place developer 'out' for now, but prepared to try again in downtown East Lansing EAST LANSING – The developers of Park Place are prepared to likely try again after city officials axed their site pla…

Has Gillespie ever even hinted he was looking at putting his own business in the market? In any case, that doesn't seem to be the city's direction with the site, anyway. It seems his goal was simply to get the (larger) site the market was on for h…

To be clear, the Lansing City Market was never taken over by anyone; the same agency that managed and operated the facility before they moved governed them after they moved. I'd say the two things that killed the market was the general size (it's w…

Crazy, crazy, crazy. The DDA has switched course at a special meeting last night, entered into a buy-and-sell agreement with the developers for the site, and is now recommending the council approve the site plan for the project that is up tonight. …

It'd be crazy, but certainly not unusual, for them to not have paid the city anything. It's actually kind of par for the course. I remember Bedrock having squatted for years - given extension after extension - on the Hudson site in downtown Detroi…

Read the minutes for the Board of Zoning Appeals meeting for September. The frontyard setback and parking space location variance requested for the 55-unit apartment building proposed for Cherry and St. Joseph in Cherry Hill was unanimously approve…

I noticed this the other day, too, so I went and looked it up on the assessor website. It appears they are replacing windows on floors 4-12 & 15. Actually, there are a lot of active or proposed projects listed, which seem to be a general renov…

So, the Edward J. Minskoff Pavilion at MSU opened, today. This one turned out as least as nice as the rendering; maybe better: https://twitter.com/contractmag/status/1178709559004876800 https://twitter.com/ConstructToday/status/117722…

Looks like the senior apartment building at Center City, Newman Lofts, has opened. This pretty much means the whole project is completed save for some buildouts on the ground floor. https://twitter.com/purelansing/status/1177945679894843397

You are right. I checked the medical marijuana application list (https://www.lansingmi.gov/DocumentCenter/View/5051/Medical-Marijuana-Applications-as-of-September-24?bidId=) and 814 E Kalamazoo is, indeed, an growing operation as is 738 E Kalamazoo…

Funny you mention it; I was just by there and saw it was the three-building lot. I wonder what "Capital City Mint Farm" is?

I was up on Wood Road, today, and noticed that the path for the new portion of Coleman Road (the portion that doesn't follow the rail corridor) has already started to be beaten. This is the extension of the road which will connected Wood Road with …

Farnum building is getting a new name and $20 million in renovations LANSING — The former Billie S. Farnum state Senate office building is slated to open to private-sector tenants by late 2020. It's also getting a new name. Developers with…

Which buildings are you talking about, specifically? Looking at the city zoning map, there are four different lots across (and up) from Art zoned for industrial use. Three of the four have multiple structures. The two lots closest to the corner (…

Drove by their a few days ago and saw them. I was surprised by how tall these look in person, so it's going to make quite the impact. BTW, you can directly post the photos by putting the url between image tags ("img""/img") replacing the "" with…

Went on the website to look it up. The old EDS Building at 930 West Holmes was built in 1968; the Kroger at 921 West Holmes was built in 1962 (gas station in 2007).

A few small projects: - The ongoing renovation work on the old Bonnie's Place bar at the northwest corner of Saginaw and Cedar is looking good. They cut out the bare wall on the southside of the building and put in two windows with nice accent f…

If you look, they also left out the Graduate Hotel in their other renderings. It's really shady. lol I could understand leaving it out if it was only proposed and they weren't sure that it'd be built, but the core of the hotel is probably currentl…

I didn't know that the Krogers and former EDS buildings (and their associated buildings) were that old. For some reason, I imagined they'd replaced earlier buildings, but they're just remodels?
