So, the DDA had the option to continue with Royal/Vlahakis or to put out an RFP yesterday, and it appears they voted to continue with Royal/Vlahakis: https://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/2019/05/03/developers-pitch-new-plans-14-story-bu…

https://develop.metrolansing.com/discussions/index.php?p=/discussion/209/park-place#latest Hey, these have been making their way through the planning process, but three restaurants are setting up shop downtown: * Baps, Inc. is looking to put…

The Quonset hut buildings are on a single parcel (300 Spring) owned by the same shell company I mentioned (River Street Industrial, LLC). The address for these parcels (830, 905 and 925 River, 300 Spring, and 401 East Hazel) is 925 River, which i…

Not technically Trowbridge Village, but this seems like a good thread to encompass the entire area. I shop at the Fresh Thyme fairly regularly, but today was literally the first time I noticed the SpringHill Suites by Marriott East Lansing Universi…

Looking at the public hearings posted in this week's city pulse, I see a Planning Commission item for a special use permit for the southwest corner of Merritt and Park Lake at their May 22 meeting. This is across from the Costco. Anyway, a develop…

So, Royal and Vlahakis have put out their final (rushed) revised site plan for this one showing the ground floor market, where they'd use part of Evergreen as a outdoor pavilion during the warm months: https://eastlansing.granicus.com/MetaViewer.…

I think you're talking about the building on the north side of River Street (905 River)? That was home to S&S Tool & Die until relatively recently before they moved to the old Olofsson factory and warehouse building down on Lyons Avenue. Y…

The Form Based Code that's still sitting tabled in council has a bit on that (p.172, "Limits on Excessive Parking"): https://lansingmi.gov/DocumentCenter/View/5612/LansingFBCApril2018-2 It also has a section on parking lot landscaping (p.162) …

gb, I posted about it just above. 419 is a modernist office building on the north side of that block. It's the only building on that plot.

Yeah, I was by here last week and noticed the stairwell/elevator tower already topped out in the middle of the site. This one will go up fast, thank goodness, since it's a bit behind schedule I think. Speak of the devil, they have a picture of t…

Jared, The lot is for the driveway around the back perimeter of the site. But they could have easily shrunk the lot down and still make it work without using that land along Barnard for it. I guess this would have been easier if Liskey's would …

Passed by the Michigan Avenue side, today, and finally got a good look at the rendering on the banners. It is much nicer - not the lego block panels and colors - than the renderings on the second page of this thread. The store and apartments looks…

Not aside from what is posted on page two. Better to have the hotel rooms next to the tracks, though, than the apartments above the store. Fortunately, I think only two (very short) regular trains a day come by, these days.

Barnard is an interesting little case of a neighborhood which held out. Whenever they zoned the city (probably the 60's, but I'm not sure), basically the entire area between Larch and the railroad tracks from the Larch Street viaduct in northern La…

Was randomly searching the most recent Lansing Economic Development Corporation (LEDC) meeting agenda and packet, and came across something interesting. Looks like a micro-loan was up for approval at this month's meeting for CB Mining, a "urban min…

Commemorating Lansing's 50th anniversary of its Sister City relationship with Otsu, Japan, a ceremony was held in Riverfront Park which added another cherry blossom tree. Mayor Schor, who was accompanied by Deputy General Yuki Sakai of the Japanese…

Not any new news, but something I got curious about. Since I drive by the site most days, I was curious how high the hill was on Barnard Street at the back of the site, and went into Google Earth to find out. Seems like the elevation difference be…

Weekly update on this one says that the tower crane is now up at 100 West Grand River and pile caps and grade beams complete. And test piles have been driven in preparation for the 72 augur cast piles for the foundation of The Graduate hotel. No pi…

This is interesting, as I thought the turn lights were going on Homer and Hosmer as in Homer at Saginaw to control right turns, and Homer and Grand River to do the same.
