  • It doesn't say anything at all about which neighborhood this is? It all seems too vague to have any opinion on yet.
  • That Heritage Center was the Oldsmobile Heritage Museum for a short time, I think thats what it was rennovated for. A guy I knew had his Olds Curve Dash in there. As for the Cedar Street school I think it is far overpriced for it's condition and …
  • I haven't been by there in a while, in fact I haven't had a chance to get out much to check up on anything in the past week or two. As for the 5/3 building I think that if the old facade is not restorable then the Bojis will reclad it again, the …
  • It's beginning to look like the northern tier developments are having no negative effects on downtown east lansing. Downtown EL is prospering along with the northern tier. I noticed that they have started construction on University Village also, I s…
  • I fully expect the Boji's to make some significant improvements to the building with a year or two, especially given their previous track record and the very poor state of this building. This building just looks nasty, I wonder if the old brick can …
  • He is the "Community & Economic Development Administrator" of East Lansing. BTW, this project or any of the Stonehouse Village Projects aren't really on the scale of Stadium District or Abrams Landing, at least as far as quality and height go…
  • ...Or he should have at least given a realistic start date to begin with, Gillespie has been throught more than enough development projects to know what to expect as far as delays and timetables go. There is no excuse to say you will have a project …
  • I emailed the Stadium District yesterday asking what the start date was on the project, I got a message back (that looked like an auto-response) that said completion was set for winter 2008. That is so off that I'm thinking it has to be a typo, that…
  • I got an email from Tim Dempsey with this rendering of the project. It actually looks pretty good. He said that they usually would push very hard for ground floor retail in downtown but that this is on the fringe of downtown and that it would be har…
  • It's actually supposed to be done by the end of the month, that may be a bit doubtful, but I would say it should be done by next month almost definately. One thing about it is that it looks a little bit bigger than I had pictured it being, it actual…
  • My Construction photo's of Gaslight Village: 5-22-06 6-18-06 8-3-06
  • If I remember right, the CSO work and therefore the streetscaping and opening up of Washington Sq is scheduled for 2007. I'll have to find the CSO work schedule again to be sure.
  • I sent LanCity a message asking about this and he said: "...should see an interesting development in the old frisbee's place announced relatively soon." The old Frizbee's place is at 222 S Washington Sq, this building.
  • I loved Spads too, who could beat getting a big slice of pizza for like $.80. The building used to be a Walgreens a long, long time ago, probably before I was born. It is evident by the two symbols on the building also. I have no clue what the…
  • This one:
  • I don't want to jinx anything, but the way things are going I wouldn't b suprised to see Stadium District be held up until winter or next spring, it's been pushed back 3 months from a already delayed start date as it is. And I hope that Prudden Plac…
  • Yes, it is SketchUp. That sure would be nice to have that many people living downtown, I figure a building that size would be about 150 units, maybe more.
  • I was wrong about it being the old Rite-Aid building, its actually the old Walgreens building, the same one that had Spads in it a while back.
  • My idea for redeveloping the Triangle Property: rebuild River St, build 20 story 500,000 sq ft office building, an 11 story parking ramp, and two condo/apartment towers. Overall View: Looking North along River St: A small fountain/park …
  • The city seems to be giving no love to this project. I'm almost wonering if the city has any idea of what te project will like and how big it will be, because if they did I would find it hard to beleive that they would treat it the way they are.
