That rendering looks pretty detailed, I wonder if it was concept he intended to build or may still build? Of all his colorful buildings this would probably be my favorite if it were built, the multicolored look isn't so bad with the old brick facade…

I'd just hate to see the hotel end up tucked away behind the commercial building. I don't ever expect this area to become truly downtown-like or walkable in any meaningful sense, but it is an important entrance to MSU for out of towners and in my mi…

It's good to see the Howard Johnson being replaced, I'd agree that it's a pretty good spot for a new hotel. The new EL council and planning board meeting packets haven't been posted yet, but I'll be curious to see how the buildings are situated in t…

They really are a good resource, I never check their site on my own but every time I'm reminded it exists I wander over there and find out something new. I wish there were an equivalent publication for Lansing.

This could certainly change things: MSU Making Play for Blighted Corner No concrete information is given, but apparently some time ago MSU sent out an RFP for housing the university's 300-350 visiting scholars and there were no viable options, no…

@Jared Thanks, that makes them a lot easier to see.

Another update on the progress of the casino proposal: Lansing casino project gets pre-Trump federal response

EDIT: I was going to repost that link because I couldn't see it in your post lol @Jared Is it possible to change the color of the links or something to make them stand out?

I'm not sure, but in the existing agreement I thought that the developer would finance and build the garage then sell it back to the city. I'd assume what they're talking about here is renegotiating that deal somehow.

Yeah the lack of CATA service was enough of a problem for the owners of the apartments to run their own buses. Hannah Lofts and Lodges at Hannah each run their own private buses through campus and into downtown EL. I'd be surprised if CATA doesn't o…

@gbinlansing I see what building you're talking about now, I hadn't really noticed it before, I wonder what it's being renovated for? Regarding the council president, I'm glad to see council move past this issue, hopefully the Saboury case is res…

@gbinlansing Are you talking about the one at the NW corner Hosmer and Elm? If so I think the state just recently sold that building off, I too am very glad to hear it's getting a thorough renovation, I'll have to get by there to see it. Another thr…

I hope to see that lawsuit resolved and the Saboury project move forward. It would be really nice to see some new construction in Old Town.

Not to be a downer, but the first proposal for City Center II (then Michigan Museum Place) was before 2006. My first post in the [East Lansing Development forum over at UP] from August 2005 references an already dated proposal for the site. There wa…

This fiasco has gone on for far too long, I can't even bring myself to care anymore. At the very least I hope the buildings at Abbot and Grand River are demolished within a reasonable amount of time.
-
I'm surprised that details of a seemingly important piece of the financing are up in the air at this stage of the development. I'm also surprised that the city owes over $5.5 million on the Evergreen properties and planned to "sell" them to the deve…

A stop/yield sign would be a great idea at the 127 exit, a traffic signal may work but I'd be worried about traffic backing up onto the freeway when the exit's light was red. They really need to do something with that exit though, along with the Cli…

That's a really nice example of a town center/lifestyle center, with any luck Eastwood will grow to resemble something more like it. I like how they concentrated all the public space in the middle surrounded by taller buildings, it's especially nice…

http://develop.metrolansing.com/forum/ is getting a forbidden message, that was my bookmark. Any way to give that address the same message you had on the home page to point anyone else that may have bookmarked that page here?

I'm glad to see that the City responds to these sorts of things. I may have to start using one of these services as there's been many times I saw something that was probably worth reporting, I just didn't want to have to call someone or find the rig…
