I love the design (scenario 3, page # 80s), very innovative. Appealing to me is now the bus/bike lanes are separate from the regular traffic, and also the urban feel. If that plan were actually used, I imagine it will take years to completely look…

Thanks for posting the pictures. On the 1990s pics, what comes to mind being built since then is the State Police, Anderson House, Capital View, Accident Fund, and City Market buildings. The latter three would be visible on the bottom photo only. …

I love this project. A good facelift/update for the stadium, and I like how they are "urbanizing" the outfield. I'm a little sorry to see much of the lawn seating go (as it looks from the renderings), but as a whole I think this very positive. …

I'm not overly excited about the rendering (overall architecture and what appears to be a large surface parking lot). Just so-so. But then again, with this project - like Marketplace - the end result may look better than the renderings. I like th…

I agree, I miss the Civic Center. Granted, I don't know much about it, I moved to the area in 1997. I grew up near Saginaw (and their Civic Center/Dow Event Center is one of the bright spots of downtown). I don't imagine that we'll see a new aren…

Regarding the schools, correct, most of the extreme south end of the city - south of Dell Road - is Holt School District.

The headline, I think, speaks for itself: Developer pulls Trowbridge Plaza revamp plan East Lansing Disappointing that the project - whatever the original or in a modified form - apparently won't happen. (Unless another developer comes forward?)

Some may have already noticed, but FYI, there is an updated Marketplace web site: Marketplace Lansing It provides a decent view of the floorplans, etc. I was not able to download the brochure (the link may not have been working).

I agree completely, and would much rather see buildings/storefronts/apts along Cedar St, rather than a large parking lot. Something similar to the Stadium District, as you mentioned. Since Marketplace is being built in phases, rather slowly, I'd h…

Marketplace construction site photos taken Sunday, November 10 Taken from Shiawassee Street bridge (facing south): from City Market Place Drive (facing north): from City Market Parking Lot (facing east): Not huge progress, but …

Brick rendered? I don't know, part of the building (light gray) looks suspiciously like vinyl siding. I too wish the site plan was more like the Stadium District, where the 4-5 story building faces the road, bottom floor retail, with parking beh…

A good rebuttal, I think, to the October 10 LSJ article mentioned above. I tend to agree more with this letter: Lansing downtown Sure Lansing and its downtown has a long way to go and does need work. More mid/high rises are needed, more peop…

I agree, I'd like to see more infill/density near downtown, rather than more parking lots. I saw the headline the other day and began reading the article with a lot of interest. But the article itself doesn't seem to say too much, other than menti…

Updated marketplace renderings. Due to the slope of the land, the building appears 4 stories from the parking lot side, I believe the 5th/bottom floor will be visible from the City Market. Marketplace rendering

Good catch, I did notice that too. Interesting is that there is no mention of that location yet on the MSUFCU web site. The new Mason branch is under construction (southside of Mason near Kipp Rd/Cedar St) and is listed in the locations section ('…

Interesting column comparing Lansing and Gd Rapids downtowns. Though much of it we've heard before. Downtowns Some thoughts: Not sure how much the suburban malls are affecting Lansing's downtown (granted Knapp's etc closed years ago)? While…

With Eastwood in general, I had imagined that any expansion north of it would be a separate development, separated by a through road just north of the NCG parking lot.) Instead of in effect expanding Eastwood to make it bigger. Though Lansing Twp …
-
I agree completely. The one nice thing, I suppose, is this expansion will bring the development north up to the county line/DeWitt Twp boundary and stop there for the time being (i.e. no more room lift in Lansing Twp to develop). I still think the…

Expansion north of Eastwood (The Heights at Eastwood) has broken ground. Eastwood expansion It seems weird to see this dense development on the edge of town like this, overlooking a giant parking lot (next to NCG Cinemas). I've always felt th…

Good eye on the Stadium Road thing... In looking at the current map (and my recollection of campus) it has largely been replaced by sidewalk. A portion of what used to be Stadium Road still exists on the east side of the stadium but it is essentia…
