I finally snapped some pictures on my my way through out there, I'll add them shortly. I didn't take any pictures at the bridge through as it was swarming with workers doing landscaping and finishing touches. I can't imagine the construction fencing…

I just see it listed as "Preservation Nonprofit Housing Corp", how'd you figure out that company's name? Looks like the housing commission still owns the lot a block south, I'd imagine the reason they're two different projects is just funding relate…

A City Pulse story on the WLNS fencing request: https://www.lansingcitypulse.com/stories/wlns-tv-seeks-to-add-barbed-wire-fencing-at-its-saginaw-street-headquarters,105372 I forgot to mention my disdain for this proposal in my previous post. If …

Ah, gotcha. I was confused there. Although they're generally inoffensive, it's always a little hard for me to get too excited about mostly glass buildings tbh. I do very much like the green brick along with the interior common areas and I couldn't a…

I think one you say you like best is the top rendering? The Health Education building? I certainly don't hate that one, it's fairly similar to the most recent 5-floor building that went up at South Campus so it seems they're going for a particular l…

Yeah, I definitely wouldn't hold my breath for residential. An industrial park is always what this has been pitched as, I'm just hoping this money can make other options feasible. I don't think it's so much a matter of the community making a push (t…
-
The site plan shown for the public safety building is different than the rendering released before. I also am even more disappointed in the front parking lot now that they've included a ramp. Why not ditch the front parking lot altogether? It's real…

My hope is that this money, focused on cleaning up only one of the three sites, will be enough to make residential redevelopment possible. I talked to the RACER rep awhile back, at the time he said clean-up to the point of residential reuse was tech…

I can only imagine how the current Michigan Ave rehab would've went with Lansing Township controlling a few blocks. I had naively thought that the city and township had somehow managed to work together, I guess cooperation (thankfully) wasn't requir…

There's new renderings for two of MSU's three major upcoming projects and a sort of rendering for Digital Innovation Center, which I thought was the furthest along funding-wise. Anyway, here they are: Health Education Building https://ipf.msu.ed…

It came to my attention that Capitol Region Community Foundation has more details and a site plan for the proposed Fish Ladder Music Park that the state appropriated $1.7 million for last year (I think?), the total cost is estimated at $2.3 million.…

A story on the progress at Walter French: https://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/local/2024/07/30/walter-french-development-lansing-apartments-childcare/74605790007/

@citykid Perhaps not your department, but I was wondering if you might have any insight as to whether MDOT is going to do anything to aesthetically improve bridges in the Frandor area similar to what you see in the Detroit and GR areas or if the cit…

Yeah, the addition of balconies is welcome. Either way we're not getting an architectural masterpiece, especially if the over-street parking garage holds. I couldn't agree more on wanting a unique skyline moving forward as well. I'm just crossing my…
-
I definitely like the golden colored facade better, but even if it ends up like this Lansing could sorta use a glass tower in the skyline. That being said I don't know what to make of it, the TV spot showed the previous rendering as does Gentilozzi'…

Tied to the construction fence in front of the new addition.

That's good to hear at least, I realized after my previous comment that I was incorrect in stating that the new Brownfield wouldn't encompass the three floor building further east, the new Brownfield will include all of Neogen's contiguous property …
-
The new Neogen Brownfield only appears to include the westernmost three floor building and one floor section next to it, implying the other narrow one floor section and the easternmost three floor building are staying for now. I'm a little disappoin…

I'm huge fan of the murals around town, unfortunately I've noticed that multiple murals on the RiverTrail were defaced with garbage graffiti very recently, maybe within the past week, first time I've seen that in awhile and it was sad to see.

No worries, I appreciate the insight nonetheless. I just went around measuring a bunch of the modern 5 over 1 style buildings on Google Maps and all came up in that range. For the dimension of the apartments wrapped around the garage I just measured…
