Agreed on both counts regarding the looks of the buildings. I see what looks like a rooftop patio over the old Riverfront Cycle, that could be interesting.
-
@MichMatters It's in there towards the end, there's renderings and floor plans included, it shows the side by the old Riverfront Cycle as leased. The costs are shown at a little over $1m so it should be a fairly extensive renovation for the building.
-
No need to wait for BWL, the city could push for and help pay for it or if enough property owners in the area are interested I'm sure they could vote for an assessment to do it as well. I also think this corridor is likely approaching time for a mak…

Even if not a part of this project I expect the city/BWL to work on burying lines along the Cedar/Larch corridor. The city has made it clear that they want more of this sort of development there and looking out at rickety old power poles isn't condu…
-
They did not extend the height of the poles, just extended the top cross beam towards the street to move the higher voltage wires away from the building a bit. I'm no certain but that doesn't look like something that was done to be permanent, if you…

Unfortunately the city does not not control to fate of the South Grand Ramp since they sold it to the developers of the never-built Capitol Club Tower with no contingencies to get the property back should the project go belly up. I have no idea if G…

Yeah, "whatever" seems like the appropriate attitude towards this. I never understood the desire to leave behind the current City Hall, it never made sense to me and still doesn't. At least this isn't the LSJ building and at least it's a reasonably …

...Continued from General Lansing Development Thread... Meh. Without buying the lot next door, removing the parking and renovating it as plaza space I'm very so-so on this. At least after seeing the Boji's do a decent job renovating the Farnum Bu…

I wouldn't want to see any variances granted for anything resembling what's proposed. If they want to build it completely within current zoning requirements than so be it but the city shouldn't be doing anything to make it easier.
-
Already filled mine out. I mainly want individual meters at spaces, bike racks/parking and maybe 15min+ free parking. The detailed questions were worded as if they wanted input on more than just parking. I also suggested parking ramps in the Stad…

@gbdinlansing Regarding the old bookshop, I think you're talking about 321 E Grand River? I posted a rendering and story about a fairly extensive renovation/addition into a bar/pizzeria with bocce courts. I saw them put the OSB up at the sidewalk an…

I really don't know how to feel about these projects across from the CATA station, there's so much up in the air. With questions about homeless services, the prospect of an LHC managed building, unknown size of the CATA offices/number of apartments …

Capitol Prime already sells their tomahawk for $125 and Bowdies is right there at $115, it is a steak for two to be fair. I do hate how much business the corporate or fast food places get, they make themselves too convenient to avoid, I kick myself …

I missed the part in the Boji's purchase agreement that the sale is actually tied to something being built there, I skimmed for something about that and apparently missed it. I'm just not sure GM cares or that the city has any sort of privileged …
-
Yeah, I just didn't figure they'd be the ones involved in a relatively small scale mixed use project as they've stood on the sidelines despite seemingly having the land and resources to do things over the years. I guess the dismal office market may …
-
The agenda for Monday's council meeting has been posted and I don't see anything regarding the Gentilozzi projects or anything else much of note besides one item: Apparently the city is selling its lot on Grand Ave at Lenawee to the Boji's for $760k…
-
Ok, I might work towards uploading the renderings at least for that thread sense I hope it to function as a sort of archive, I'll watch the image sizes.
-
I totally agree on the tree cutting, something should be done. I'd also love to see the city recommit itself to having a tree every X feet/or for every lot in the right of way. The Cedar/Larch and Saginaw/Oakland corridors do need attention wheth…

A few updates from today https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjAS7fU: Lansing Center promenade with new concrete: A (bad) view of the Lansing Shuffle Club addition: Stadium North Cedar St building: Stadium North Larch & Erie building: …

At minimum I'd argue for suburban commercial along MLK and Holmes and residential on the interior. I really think it's wide open as the specifics. In a perfect world it'd be some sort of lifestyle center with mixed use buildings along the perimeter …
