  • Completed in 2023 City View (Completed) https://goo.gl/maps/SLwgpR31AzJndvyz9 The project included the renovation of a former credit union headquarters into 55 apartments along with a new 5 floor building including 117 apartments and ground …

  • -- Okemos/Haslett/Bath -- -Haslett Village Square redevelopment (Under Construction) https://goo.gl/maps/Xiu7tL54KxWPHWfz9 The existing Haslett Village Square will be redeveloped into a combination of housing, office and retail. It will includ…
  • Nah, it look like the elevation marks are cut off on the right of that floor profile view. 25 floors with a 30' first floor should make for the tallest building in the city by a good margin.
  • Oh wow, a lot better. I'm going to get some of those renderings uploaded to the Development Rundown thread. The Tower on the Grand is vastly improved. I could almost get over what's shown as far as the ramp goes. The look of everything is nice in…
  • Looking at the language in the City Council's acceptance of the housing grant money I'm confused. It makes it sounds like the city has a ton of leeway in how they could spend the money, from saying it could be used in emergencies to saying it can be…
  • I continue to wish they'd restore Washtenaw St or at least reserve it for a pedestrian ROW, there's no reason the 7 block property should be developed as a monolithic building. I'm not sure if the newly created parcels adjacent to here will be deep …
  • Apparently the city is getting ready to remove the islands on MLK between Ionia and Lenawee and turning the street into 5 lanes. Did I miss this? Has it been discussed here? The City Pulse article isn't very clear on what this will actually look lik…
  • It'd be kinda pitiful if they couldn't even pull the New Vision project off with $40 million free money. That being said, it wouldn't be at all surprising to me if the price tag for everything proposed is higher than the $215 million figure they wer…
  • A small new project announced out at MSU: A packaging school expansion that will relocate the satellite dish farm south of the existing building to make way for an addition that will double their current space. The addition will cost $25 million and…
  • Looks like it's just grant money for further clean up. It certainly should bode well for finally landing a development there. https://www.wilx.com/2024/01/30/former-lansing-assembly-plant-secures-state-funding-redevelopment/
  • Not only that but they're still tearing down the school. That is probably the least offensive building on that corner.
  • That's all good news as far as I'm concerned. I'm particularly glad that development of the Washington & Hillsdale corner wont be hindered by that commercial buildings incorporation into The Ovation, I'd love to see a mid/high rise there someday…
  • Agreed. The whole process has been a racket from the start.
  • It was the first thing I thought about when they selected this site, imo getting the parking lot as well should have been a precondition of this site being selected. These sorts of decisions/oversights are why I have so little faith in the city as o…
  • I'm very, very disappointed that they seem to have no intention of buying that lot. I was hoping for a plaza on the corner and a nice facade renovation maybe with a small addition on the blank wall that is on the south side of the building. If that …
  • One of the most interesting and unique abandoned properties in the entire metro area may be falling into the hands of Eaton County's Land Bank. Details are unclear and there's no mention if the Land Banks acquisition of the properties may mean more …
  • A bit of what I consider to be good news: The Rescue Mission appears to be selling their buildings on Michigan Ave. The Mission wins by selling their smaller, more valuable properties to pay for a much larger one; the city wins by getting one of the…
