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…

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.…

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…

Yeah, it has a path under the north embankment, the south pathway still crosses at street grade. I still always take the south pathway myself when passing through campus biking. I've been waiting to grab more pics until the bridge is complete and…

I look at around at national trends and it seems to me that Lansing is far from oversaturated relative to a lot of other cities. I think if a brewpub offers a cool atmosphere, good service and good food they should survive. This place has an odd loc…

Which dimension are you talking about for the 120'-140' depth? All the recent apartment builds I measured in the stadium district, downtown and on Michigan Ave have a depth/width/short axis dimension of 55'-70'. I know that the apartments wrap…

The standalone apartment building is shown as 65' wide while the parking ramp wraparound is 40 ft deep. I've seen apartments built like that before, Grand Rapids had a similar apartment building/parking ramp built (38 Commerce Ave SW) maybe 10 years…

I was bored and started messing with my old Sketchup model of downtown, I wanted to add some of the new proposals but mostly wanted to visualize how the new block across from the CATA station might look with the new City Hall and apartments (and pos…

The Lansing area is getting a good bit of money from state earmarks again this year. There's very few details on most of the projects as of now, I'm sure more information will be available in the coming weeks as to what some of these are. Complet…

I'm not exactly what blocks you're talking about on the Multicultural center but the last time I looked I'd guess you might be seeing the brackets for some vertical metal accent pieces for the facade, there's also some insulation that sorta matches …

Sounds like there'll be an effort by community members to push for Eastern being saved: https://lansingcitypulse.com/stories/do-it-right,99403 I'm all for Sparrow using the building if they can but if they can't I hope they're at least willing to…

It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside knowing that the city has taken up over half of its borrowing limit on just the public safety bond. It's disheartening that of all the places we could have spent almost $200 million, most of it is going tow…
