This idea is definately out there and I don't see it gaining much support, the idea of mixing housing for the homeless with market rate is crazy and regardless this is a horrible location for a homeless shelter/housing. Plus there are already severa…

Many downtown museums (especially science ones) are well over 2 floors, given those are typically in larger cities. However I feel that the city will either build this thig right or not at all. I want to see the library be at least 6 floors and the …

I missed the State of the City and the council meeting. As for being optomistic about not having surface parking, I really don't think it's that far out there. In Lansing property value has not been the driving force for things going taller, it h…

Oh well, I really think the project is more viable than Matt let on. He estimated the cost at $3-4 million, it would have had over half the units of stadium district and cost less than third of it. In fact I would expect any new project here to be d…

I HIghly doubt you would see any surface parking, and probably not a parking garage onsite. LCC is planning on a second ramp on the Old Central site and the North Capitol ramp is not to far off from needing to be rebuilt, likely larger than before.

As for those two apartment buildings on Main, I like the project, but do not think it is anywhere near deserving of an NEZ. That is unless he plans some MAJOR improvements. Lmich has a good idea to tear down the Deluxe and the adjacent apartment bui…

I seen it today, it doesen't look that bad, once they put a top and bottom decoration it will probably look much nicer. I think what will mainly make or break it will be the awnings and the windows.

The LSJ artcle said that limestone was to be used on the bottom two floors and all new glass. If the Boji's cheap out their project will fail, plain and simple. Others have made attempts at cheap remodels of the Hollister building and they failed, I…

I noticed they hd scaffolding and plastic up around it the other day. I wonder why they bothered doing a patch if their going to rennovate in spring...

Like I said about other projects, I wish they would just start out with a conservative date, if it comes early, GREAT! Everyone can be pleasantly suprised, if it takes until the announced date or a little after, oh well, at least it doesn't go from …

construction is coming along nicely and I'd have to say it looks a lot bigger than what I expected it too look in person. Here's a screenshot from the webcam:

The only thing I'd like to see is a light rail line that baically traces the Entertainment express route, at least for the first phase. Later I'd like to see light rail expanded north on Washington to Shiawassee, then turn onto Seymour and head up t…

I personally don't like street names to be changed, I see no reason for it at all.

People who like the way things are going don't care enough to go down and speak about it, often they don't have the time to go down there every week either.

Hard to see in the photo's, but over half the foundation is in.

Thats the same impression I got (about the Deluxe), I hope we can see the site redeveloped into some thing decent soon.

I really doubt that the MSP headquarters will be the announcement, that project is still in limbo, whatever the project the announcement is has been relatively solid for some time now. As for the Deluxe, I don't think Cooley dorms would fit well, bu…

A City Pulse story on the MSP headquarters, it helps to explain some of the delays:Resurrected plan may bring state police downtown

I am hoping that they keep the sign on the Ottawa Station when redeveloped, even if they rework it to say "Water & Light District" or "Water & Light Building." Also, in an LSJ article today about the Deluxe Inn it says that Cooley has sho…

Than new sign on the side near michigan looks nice, hopefully Olds Park gets new, more modern signs with its rennovation. Little things like that can really help the overall street scene, and the sign on te Lansing Center could prove to be very valu…
