  • I envision this development as being similar to University Place. I don't know how tall is University Place but a 10-story building seems very tall for East Lansing. Also, I don't if underground parking is a good idea. It is very expensive and there…
  • I think that whole text describes the project in general: inviting designs from architects, their presentations and eventually exhibiting those designs. Last year they had national architects every month presenting their designs and ideas of what th…
  • The intent of this project, from a regional development standpoint, is to attract professionals and families near Lansing and East Lansing. Its alright that some students live there but if this project becomes a predominantly student community not a…
  • With all the developments in and around East Lansing I think the next step is for the city to have a nice architecturally-oriented development. Maybe not so big or practical, but something different that can add diversity to downtown. http://broad…
  • The main challenge is keeping undergrads away. There are a many housing developments around Lansing and I find it difficult not to think that modern housing supposedly designed for young professionals and families will end up full of undergrads who…
  • Only 4,858 residents voted yes on the ballot — 56.58 percent of the votes. Two of the five buildings in the Park District, which were planned to be built by Park District Investment Group on privately-owned land, will still move forward. - SN link:…
  • Michigan State University will use a $3 million grant from the U.S. Economic Development Administration to launch the Food Processing and Innovation Center. The center will be located in an MSU-owned building on Hulett Road in Okemos. The renovatio…
  • There has been more attention given to upgrading Munn. link: http://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/sports/college/msu/hockey/2014/10/01/msu-announces-munn-arena-upgrades/16531387/ I definitely agree with upgrading Munn instead of building anot…
  • I would expect MSU to continue with the urban design. The need and importance of available land has increased since the Hannah years for various reasons, like university development (capital campaigns) and the neighborhoods initiative.
  • Lansing and East Lansing will take off as they incorporate more international elements within the community, especially in their respective downtown areas. A project like this is a good first step. What you don't want is to isolate communities, but …
  • Much of this planned development is dependent on the upcoming capital campaign. I consider this plan a response to the expected on-campus density increase by reinforcing the park-like setting. Aside from this, the plan could also be beneficial for E…
  • For more detailed information regarding construction at MSU I suggest that you go directly to www.construction.msu.edu. It is constantly being updated. 1. A big project indicative of the future of transportation on-campus is the improvement of Eas…
  • Demolition began. I must admit that I'm somewhat confused about the locations of these two projects, and the State News articles don't help. My understanding right now is that the first project, the one proposed to be four stories, will replace all …
  • I think people are confused because this rendering is only for one of the two Ann Street Plaza projects. This is only the four-story building. There's also an eight-story building.
  • Specifically, this is a response to Jared's last post, which is a reaction to my previous post of Sept 5th.
  • Still, that's an area of campus that needed attention.
  • While transportation and infrastructure improvements are important, I don't consider those are the reasons why the Lansing region and, specifically, downtown Lansing and East Lansing are under-performing. Public transportation is not excellent but i…
  • I would like to get away from the average development discussion and talk about a fundamental aspect of development: investment. First, I think we can all agree that the Lansing region has incredible potential. Secondly, whether the region is grow…
  • Well, this redevelopment is as crucial as a project can be in terms of growth. The redevelopment of this area includes the old Police Station, which MSU officially began discussing in the last Board meeting, City Center II, Bus Rapid Transit, and th…
  • Its good news to learn that this project continues forward. Personally, I would be happy with just the beginning of the project and seeing the demolition of the current structure. Hopefully this will be a boost to the West side of East Lansing and a…
