The four floor building out there will be of the standard 5 over 1 design with balconies, it shows it being light grey and pale yellow on the upper floors with darker grey brick on the first floor. I'm generally not a fan but I think these sorts of …

@Jared Yup, that should say north, I fixed it I'm glad to see everyone is in agreement on REO Gateway, it may not be the worst project in recent years (that's Ottawa @ Butler imo) but it may be the most disappointing.

Sorry to hear about your health, I've been trying to make a habit of getting out to take pics more often and post some photo tours here and on SSP. I'm out and about enough, I just have to stop and take the pictures. Yeah, REO Gateway is bad. It'…

Thanks reminding me of that, I was out taking pictures today and made sure to get by there to check it out. It's going to be a nice place when they're finished and it will only get better in the coming decades as trees and vegetation fill in.

I got out on a bike ride today and got pictures of most of the major projects around Lansing and MSU... Downtown Lansing projects: The new club in the old Xcel: The remodeled Lansing Center Skyway: Work on the Lansing Center promenade:…

Seems like the right kind of project for the area as long as it's built as rendered. I hope the St Lawrence campus itself gets some love someday.

The sand isn't to build on it's to stabilize the foundation from the inside and keep it from caving in, I've usually heard of simple fill dirt being used to fill in basements but sand makes sense because it drains well, doesn't compact and is relati…

I imagine that filling the basement in with sand was a cheap way to deal with foundation problems, it'll keep it from caving in without having to do any significant repair work.

The development at Miller & Aurelius is really nice to see. I like the design of the houses and the site plan is sensible, I do hope the new east-west street they show is connecting to Maisonette as a connection to Aurelius & the new neighbo…

There's now some insight on the EL government drama recently. There's a lot to digest here but it seems to basically boil down to a power grab gone awry. https://eastlansinginfo.news/just-released-8-page-memo-shows-plan-to-remake-east-lansing-gov…

Here's a new master plan presentation packet, I think this is the result of the meetings from this month. There's a lot more detail in general but one thing I really like is the concept to pedestrianize most of Red Cedar Rd and create a landscaped p…

I have not heard of it and I'm not a huge fan of getting rid of the boulevard at first thought, I'd rather see it extended north to Saginaw/Oakland. They could potentially sell me on the idea of narrowing the street if it opens up some land for deve…

It's interesting that it's those guys involved in the property. Things there certainly look like something is going on but it could just as well be site clearing and nothing more.

I noticed the same thing and am also curious if anything is going to happen soon. I only vaguely remember hearing about the storage facility, I hope it's not for that.

More good news: A developer plans to spend $16 million to renovate the old Barnes St School into a senior apartment building with 21 units in the existing building and 30 units in a new addition. It sounds like a promising project as the developer i…

Yeah, you have the right area. It doesn't say a specific site, I'm not sure if that's decided yet. EDIT: The south academic district generally is the area south of the CN RR tracks near Hagadorn including the medical buildings and the single stor…

...And yet another large new building proposed out at MSU, this one a health education building in the south academic district. Fee Hall will finally be demolished as part of this plan, something is mentioned about a 10 year $119 million capital ren…

Sounds like there's a decent chance that new pool, along with a reinstated swim/dive team, becomes an official part of the new IM plan by the time it breaks ground: https://www.livingstondaily.com/story/news/local/community/brighton/2023/04/17/wo…

@Lymon89 I couldn't agree more on REO Gateway. It's a real disappointment for that site, especially coming from a group of investors that have such grand visions for the area. On a positive note, the first floor of Knapp's is going to be used…

@P2005 Nope, I did not hear about it unfortunately.
