Well that's good news for the airport, passenger counts are way, way down in recent years. Still waiting for an update on their master plan efforts that were due out last year. I think we're going to see some movement on passenger rail in general…

I'm not familiar with Sheetz but my understanding is that they're a little more than your regular gas station, they have an almost evangelical following. I'm not much of a fan of Speedway, QD seems to be dying a slow death... I say bring on a new gu…

@Lymon89 Yeah, I know architects are required on just about anything commercial, but I meant 'architectural' in more of a colloquial sense, no offense to architects making a living designing less grand stuff. I know bean counters ultimately run ever…

Mondays Development and Planning meeting does indeed have the Brownfield Plan for Capitol Walk Apartments... It'll be five floors with 124 workforce units on the top four four floors with ground floor parking and amenities, it will even have a ro…

...On another note, in Monday's council meeting packet there's an brownfield plan being introduced for "Capitol Walk Apartments" for the parking lot at the southeast corner of Chestnut & Lenawee. No other details yet as the brownfield plan is no…

I get the concern about living near Cedar/Larch, it's totally logical. But the original Stadium District building and the Outfield Lofts sit in between Cedar/Larch with the same lane count and speed limit, and they're apparently quite successful. Ma…

I also wish GM would consider letting go of some of their lots, but I can't imagine that actually happening. A heat generating data center would be perfect there. I just hope anything other than demolition lies in the Olds HQ's future. @gbdinlans…

In full disclosure, I don't think this is a thing I'm too likely to budge on, but who knows... I guess I just disagree on the idea that development has to be a here or there thing within the city or even within downtown in which only one area can be…

I'll have to be an outlier on the data center. If it were on an already privately owned piece of land I might begrudgingly accept it, but selling a city owned lot just raises the bar too high for me to not feel that fighting it is appropriate. I …

Good to hear about Ovation. I'm still not for the data center there at all, my point is that if they wouldn't let someone put a warehouse there, they shouldn't allow a data center. It belongs in an industrial area. IMO It's another "why did we pa…

Yeah, I saw that article but also don't pay for LSJ, if anyone does please let us know if there's anything noteworthy there. Hopefully there's no more delays.

I also believe the S Washington Apartments deserve better than what LHC is likely to do, I'm surprised that no other developer could make the project viable. I rambled on more initially but decided to let it go, I have to be optimistic about LHC bec…

I only have the vaguest memories of the covered Frandor. They're fond memories though, as it was the first place I went to go see Santa and visited frequently throughout my childhood. The trips to the hobby shop, book store and Liberty Coins hold a …

A couple articles from 517 Magazine I thought were worth sharing, one on Frandor and one on Walter French: https://517mag.com/shop-till-you-drop-frandors-michael-corr-notes-the-shopping-centers-longevity/ https://517mag.com/best-in-class-forme…

It's been a slow start to the year so far, the last several council or planning meetings have had anything new that I'd consider of note on the agendas, not to be unexpected over the holidays I suppose. That has not changed this week either. The …

I'm fairly sure that there's an old building under there but I don't know if any of the facade is intact or what it looked like, given the way the modern brick looks on the front I'd imagine whatever's left underneath is incomplete at best. I'm not …

Agreed. They made some small changes in Grand Vista Place versus the almost all-blue renderings and it helped, it'd still be very lackluster as a market rate building but given what I thought we were getting, I can't complain. I'm anxious to see if …

After MSU announced this new $401 million donation I'm thinking the stadium renovation may happen sooner than I was expecting. Hopefully we hear more soon. https://msuspartans.com/news/2025/12/5/general-greg-and-dawn-williams-make-historic-401m-com…

Thanks for sharing. There's lots to digest there, it seems to be mostly informational as opposed to getting into planning specifics. I was not aware that CATA's ridership had recovered to that extent, that is good news. I'm not a bus rider, but h…

The Planning Commission has denied the rezoning request for the data center, good news imo: https://www.wlns.com/top-stories/lansing-data-center-project-rezoning-rejected-by-planning-commission/ There's a contingent of people who think this is a…
