I agree, I think Frandor is the most recognizable. Though, like you mention, Frandor is used in a variety of ways (shopping center, general area, etc). Actually I don't think Sears is technically part of Frandor. Similarly Red Cedar, while I like…

Yes, a grocery store would be huge for downtown Lansing. With Fresh Thyme opening in East Lansing (Trowbridge Rd) this week, I was thinking that something of that size (~30,000 feet2) would be more likely in the near term.

In other development news: Costco in talks about store in Greater Lansing Nothing definite here, the company is in discussions with Delta Township for a site likely on Saginaw Highway west of I-96. Fletcher confirmed Thursday that township off…

I agree, a somewhat underwhelming announcement. I wasn't sure that a separate facility would be built, but perhaps an addition to the existing factory to build additional models. But since no new jobs are announced (retain 1,900 jobs), sounds like…

Red Cedar development agreement signed today: Lansing's Red Cedar project moves forward It will be interesting to see the time frame on all this and whether the project is built in stages (likely). It would be nice to see some street-level rend…

That's fair, and you make good points. Capitol Club Tower was on a small lot. It makes me wonder if the Citizens Bank Bldg is holding some of this up -- i.e. in such a prominent location, if that building were redeveloped first, nearby parcels wil…

It is frustrating - though not surprising - to see this project delayed again. Part of me does not blame DTN for pulling their proposal. With all the delays in this project and numerous opportunities for public feedback, some of this is on the vot…

Thanks, what I found interesting in the article was Eyde officials have said in early conversations they don’t plan to tear down the building, but rather gut the interior and refurbish the outside. Eyde will have one year from the sale’s closing …

I feel I've noticed the same thing about downtown -- the loss of some retail shops and gain of bars/restaurants. I miss Michigania also. I wonder if some of the retail that has left downtown has moved to Old Town. (In other words, is the general …

Given the City Council approved this project, it seems like this project is nearly a go, unless there are additional funding or environmental issues that need to be resolved? Council approves Cooley Law School Stadium project

Looks like the next step for the Tribe occurred, applying for the casino property to be put into a trust: from Freep from DetNews That probably wasn't too surprising, given the Supreme Court's ruling on the casino up north (Vanderbilt) and the …

A couple new tenants in the Knapp's Building. (Well, specifically Dewpoint, but I was unaware of the earlier one mentioned in the article) Lansing IT company Dewpoint moving to Knapp's Centre Glad to hear that the Knapp's Center seems to be d…

Thanks, I was biking along the River Trail last weekend - of course I got slightly detoured by it - and was wondering what it was about. I assume this is related to the larger combined sewer overflow project that seemed too have stalled a couple ye…

Perhaps the next step in the long process to bring a casino to Lansing. I'll take this as good news... LSJ: Attorney General withdraws Supreme Court petition against proposed Lansing casino It makes me wonder if this will happen: States h…

I guess I thought this related to the original thread as we were discussing possible future developments similar to the Capitol Club Tower. Sorry, my mistake I think was asking about thoughts on the next development at the end. It probably should h…

Sorry, the Capitol Club thread was getting a bit off topic. So I'll repost part of it here... Considering that the Stadium District, Marketplace, Midtown, and proposed Outfield are 4-5 stories, it would be nice to see a 6-8 story residential/mixed…

Thanks for all the responses. I'm not necessarily thinking a of 16-story tower at this point, but considering that the Stadium District, Marketplace, Midtown, and proposed Outfield are 4-5 stories, it would be nice to see a 6-8 story residential/mi…

As I recall, but wasn't the bank building in foreclosure a year to two ago? But Strathmore kept getting extensions to get current on the property. Had the extensions not occurred, the bank building would be a non-issue with DTN presumably already …

While the Capitol Club is a no go, it makes me wonder when a similar project may happen in the future. In watching the gradual progress on the Marketplace development, if would seem that, given the building's length, it could easily be half as long…

On the topic of South Lansing / Cedar Street... I agree with comments above regarding the need for improvements (I live in southeast Lansing). Similar to the areas of new development downtown (around Stadium district, etc), I wish that the city wo…
