The East Village Project seems to be continuing to inch forward, albeit slowly. However, the LSJ's making it sound like this latest milestone is a pretty large one that will propel the Pierce Co. to putting together some final plans, and getting con…

As it pertains to the "price per bedroom" in the article, they may mean that a 2-bedroom would cost $700 per person and a 4-bedroom $575 per person. You're right Jared about that putting the cost above most students, which would, of course, be a neg…

I wrote a long post, but it got deleted because I hit the back button, so I gotta cut it short. New State News article about the East Village project. Note, most importantly, the numbers on the percentage of units they plan to dedicate to undergrad/…

Local residents still mad, as evidenced by this State News article, about City Center II development. Resident/planner feuds are likely to go a long way in delaying this project.

I didn't see it Jared, but it seems like the link is broken now. After looking at the NY Times slide show though, and seeing the glass entrance/interior, it gives me some more hope about the development. Hadid clearly seems to be extremely well resp…

To add to Jared's NY Times link, there is a link right on that page to a few new renderings (Photos 2-4) of the Museum at a couple different angles, one from the inside, that I've never seen. I kinda like the one showing the glass-laden entrance.

I just got the 3rd "East Village Newsletter" in my inbox today. Nothing really all that new to report, but here are some of the highlights: - Fred Pierce himself, as well as other execs from the Pierce Co., were in EL for a few days in November, …

Not sure if there's already a thread on this, and I'm not going to be much help in creating one, but I do remember seeing that there's a project going on at Olds Park where they seem to be putting in sort of a luxury clubhouse in the terrace in left…

Thanks Jared.

State News article today on some students/current residents in the area fighting City Center II with the fear that emminent domain would be used to acquire property beyond that already planned. The article also mentions that about 80% of the propert…

That's gotta (at least I hope) be a quick mockup. Think the darker area that comprises floors 2-4 will be brick?
-
Aaaah, gotcha. Now that you cleared that up with me, I think that another hotel in "Downtown" East Lansing would certainly be a good thing. Get more people to experience the nightlife rather than shove them east of Hagadorn. Thanks for letting me kn…

Isn't the location pointed to on the bottom map supposed to be where the "Park Place" phase of the project is supposed to go? I'm not personally sure, don't know the exact layout.
-
Also, should have asked this in the previous post, Jared, when you say the Marriott may be moved to the "West Village," are you talking about the development near Grand River and Harrison? That would be a good location, but where exactly would it f…

It would be hard to see Munn go, but a new hockey arena certainly would be nice. Not sure if I could see it being done right now though since MSU Hockey still doesn't pull enough attendance (despite a National Title) to warrant building a bigger bu…

Here's a link to the Freep article, which provides a little more information on Hadid's background as an architect.

Glad to see another fresh face. If you're hoping for light rail, I really wouldn't count on it. The fall-through of the Detroit-Ann Arbor system sort of sends a "we don't want to spend the money" type signal to me, not only for a system in that are…
-
I love how they just HAD to name it "The Hamptons." I should be able to provide somewhat frequent updates on this development since I'll be passing by it anytime I drive between EL and I-96.
-
Really guys, I'm not trying to chastize Gillespie for appearing to slow down the front of the building, and I'm sure the development is making progress in other areas. All I'm saying, and it's not like I think it's the end of the future of downtow…

The pricing, combined with that blazing speed, is incredible! They're developing the same thing in Oakland County where I'm at for the summer (Wireless Oakland is the project name). The D/L speed will only top out at 3 mb/s, and the County is prepar…
