We really should have some benefactors though. The RE Olds money was squandered. Larry Page is from EL and has done nothing (to my knowledge) for the area, Magic Johnson hasn't done much either. Multiple large insurance companies based here which ha…

Didn't catch the address thing. Weird. When you search 108 S Grand in Google Maps it comes up in that LSJ parking lot. My first thought was a mix up with the potential project on the Granger lot.

It's all been a long time coming. I'm (more than) a bit jealous of GR. Over the years I've reluctantly come to realize the lack of vision around here is a community-wide problem, not just city leadership like I wanted to believe. The lack of any maj…

Both Riverview 220 and Grand Vista Place showed up in the planning committee's agenda this week, the staff reports state that construction is imminent on both, December and January respectively. Neither had any site plans or renderings, not even a f…

I wondering if you forgot that or were talking about something else lol A friend who's a CATA employee said there were rumors of the CATA offices going in the LSJ building, not directly from anyone of authority though. I think @citykid mentioned …

What about the 425 S Grand Lot? Besides the new City Hall you mean?

UofM Sparrow ups the ante on their hostility towards this community: https://www.lansingcitypulse.com/stories/um-sparrow-ends-talks-with-group-that-wants-to-preserve-old-eastern-high-school,106432

Things have been slow in East Lansing development-wise but they're still moving forward with putting together an RFP process on the Evergreen properties. The LSJ has a story today with relatively little new information but it does confirm that the …

All the more disappointing that there's local developers actually willing to take the project on and they're being snubbed. And yeah, throughout my arguments with people on Reddit I was referring to Walter French, Holmes St and Cedar St schools a…

Yeah, there's been so many buildings restored/renovated that have been abandoned for years and decades; buildings with caved-in roofs, fire damage, important missing details, crumbling exteriors, etc... There's no way they can look at me with a stra…

Disappointing to hear about the Hillsdale project but it is what it is at this point I suppose. Sparrow/UofM are making silly statements about Eastern, justifying its destruction because of a lack of air conditioning along with out dated electric…

One of my parents grew up in a house on Clemens with an adu older than the main house, it's still in the family and rented out. I wonder if it's one the ones you've found? I always thought it was a cool setup.

@citykid shared the information awhile back.

The housing commission bought the old LSJ parking lot south of the MBA building on Grand for their phase two. https://maps.app.goo.gl/VDAgCKhhSKoR4sNP7

Grabbed a few pics of construction on the east side of town: A section of newly paved Michigan Ave: The fountains in Michigan Ave median are finally working! In fact all the water features throughout the Red Cedar development and Ranney Pa…

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…
