Well, we know from the description above that they are going to use it as office space. I guess we'll find out the "who" later. Maybe it's speculative office space where they haven't yet nailed down a tenant, and in that case, that would be really…

The redevelopment of the parcel across from Costco's will be introduced to the Planning Commission this week that I mentioned back on the 2nd. Here is the site plan: https://eastlansing.granicus.com/MetaViewer.php?view_id=2&event_id=1961&a…

I'm trying to remember if I ever saw this occupied. I do remember a time when they weren't open to the elements, but I think people use to live in the apartments above even if the ground floors were not occupied. I took my car over to Corbin's nex…

Councilwoman Draheim got a tour of this today. Desipte me posting the pictures above, I guess I'm just now realizing how high the ceilings will be in the commercial units on the Albert side. This is going to make for some really impressive restaur…

Got some information back on this one from the city. One of the apartment buildings is oriented length-wise from the corner of Butler and Ottawa. Because of the zoning district, there is a 20-foot front setback, so it'll match the setback of the e…

A site plan(ish) is back on page one. I'm not sure where the octagon is on the site, so I couldn't tell you, but I don't see one in the site plan.

The story is online, now. Yes, the "flexible space" is exactly as amorphous as it sounds. They give example of one of these venues sprouting up all around the country. The one they feature a photo of is one in San Francisco: Flexibility ke…

The month the Target will open was announced, today: East Lansing small-format Target to hire 80, open in July EAST LANSING — The first small-format Target in the mid-Michigan area will open July 21. The 22,000-square-foot Target…

Though different in that they didn't have active rental properties on them, something similar happened in Detroit where Bedrock/Dan Gilbert was given exclusive development rights for the Hudson site for and the rights kept getting extended for years…

So, we get an update how the city feels about this project via the East Lansing council newsletter for the May 14th discussion-only meeting: https://us17.campaign-archive.com/?u=d99498ce3806962a5ede26662&id=9d25205871 Most notably, the dea…

Drove by the site, today. They are already up the second floor on the corner building. BTW, 100 West Grand River appears to have gotten a formal name: The Abbot https://www.liveabbot.com/ So, now we have The Abbot and the Graduate East Lansi…

This week's City Pulse has an update on the study for the proposed performing arts center, which came back with both good and bad news. The good news is that it's not a pie-in-the-sky dream; it can actually happen. I guess the not-so-great news is…

The museum landed a pretty distinguished listing on Architecture Digest's "Best Designed Building in Every U.S. State." https://twitter.com/michiganstateu/status/1128661297434976256 I think the LSJ had an article earlier this week on the mus…

The Village of Okemos plans were formally presented to the Meridian Township planning commission, earlier this week. The LSJ has a story on the presentation: Randle and his team are proposing to demolish all of the buildings in the two bl…

Saw this a few days ago, but it looks like three old homes from 729 to 737 West Shiawassee have just been totally cleared. The further one east is at the corner of Dorrance Place, a block-long street that links Shiawassee with Oak Park, and the fur…

I just realized why you all may have been confused about the boundaries, and it's because apparently, this was posted in the general thread - before this project had it's own: And I might not have posted this on the website, at all, but did o…

City site is still showing the property as not being sold yet, and there are no projects listed for it. Guess we'll just have to wait and see. Urban Systems seems like their ambitions may be beyond their current ability to develop.

gb, there have been three taffic circles along this part of Barnes for well over a decade, I think: at Coleman, Davis and Beal. Is another one being built at another intersection? I was on the street a month or two ago but did not pay attention.

I do know the area pretty well, though the side north of Barnes better than to the south. I like that after some decline in the late 90's and early 00's that it looks like the neighborhood has kind of rebounded. I think St. Casmir kind of holding …
