I do hope they offer some tours of the building when it shuts down, I'll have to force myself to not miss the opportunity if so. All the above being said, I really do believe that a large scale entertainment complex, in particular a large and wel…

Yeah, after looking into it a bit more it looks like the existing Neogen management will be taking the lead in this venture despite being the minority shareholder. I'm still wondering if Neogen is the company that Gillespie spoke of wanting to possi…

Steel is going up at the Ultium battery plant: https://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/money/business/2022/09/07/2-6-billion-lansing-battery-cell-plant-ultium-cells-construction/65857622007/?fbclid=IwAR0DuFeCK2FAxL0N4rinLmqKTuTEbD_27Dd52PsI5FEdFru…

Not entirely unexpected, someone from the county was quoted saying they were going to attempt an expedited appeal. We'll see, I guess.

It's definitely a challenging project but may not be as bad or at least any worse than the Ottawa Plant, at least on a per sq ft basis. The only portion of the building that they need to be careful with is the old power house closer to river, the ta…

That's a good point that pinning more threads could be counterproductive, I guess I'm neutral on that one.
-
That's a truly impressive project, I remember hearing about some years ago and it's nice to see it come to fruition. That being said I don't think the Eckert plant makes a good site for residential or even office space. Due to the isolated site I th…

Yeah, it's not great reporting, basically just a press release. Thanks for the zoning insights as always, it's somewhat comforting to know that it will at least have to go through an approval process. I kinda think (want to believe?) that the cit…

Gillespie is just chock full of poor ideas that are sure to hobble the city in the future, isn't he? I like how he's marketing his plan to turn an extremely outdated dump of a 60+ year old big box store into a strip mall as something new, original a…

Continued from here so as to not muck up that thread:http://develop.metrolansing.com/discussions/discussion/2/general-lansing-development/p454 @MichMatters I agree that there should be a cutoff somewhere but I do think that something like the Neo…

Very good to hear. @MichMatters @Jared I was thinking... Should we get back into the habit of making more individual threads for projects?? I've noticed it's gotten sorta hard to look back on things and conversations in the general development th…

The hotels are being built because the room occupancy rate is above the threshold at which people are willing to invest in hotels (at least it was whenever they were financed), I believe it's around 60% per articles on hotel construction in the area…

Glad to hear it left a good impression, I really do have to get down there myself sooner rather than later. And yeah, the fountain was built when the two buildings next to it were, I'm fairly sure in the 80's. There's a nice view out from the caf…

I'm happy it got reposted so I could see the other renderings and site plan, it was also good to see that they were recommending approval. I do hope they rebuild the trail under the bridge here and fix the pavement going west of N Grand River, it's …

@MichMatters I vaguely remember reading about a hotel on Wood Rd. I think it may have been a quote from a township official in one of the stories covering other things going on in the township referring to "a new hotel on Wood Rd". Don't quote me on…
-
I'm happy with that annexation proposal, taking on those taxes shouldn't prove a big deal to the city and will hopefully be enticing enough to get township residents to vote in favor of it. I haven't seen any case studies as to how exactly this w…
-
@Jared That's a good question. A lot of them are stick built with regular hotel layouts (no kitchen or bedrooms) so I'm not sure how those will fare as a reuse project but something like this one that is an extended stay would seem a realistic prosp…
-
I never heard about that one, I'd imagine this is related then.
-
@MichMatters I guess we'll have to wait and see. I missed that you said board of zoning appeals at first, I see an ethics board meeting canceled as well so I wouldn't make too much of it. The rendering looks well done and specific to that site so I …

@MichMatters No, I think you're thinking of the one on Meritt Rd near the Costco, this is West Rd north of the Holiday Inn Express.
