There's a two floor office building at the northwest corner of Capitol & Genesee that LCC bought in 2012. It looks very different now:

LCC will be doing a major renovation on 505 N Capitol at the northwest corner of Capitol & Genesee: LCC plans veterans resource center The design is certainly interesting here, I'd like to see how it'll look in person. No real timeline is giv…

I could see the dealership being allowed to keep old buildings in some cases, they can probably even design their own buildings with approval. Anyways, I'm just going off of memory as I think the brownfield plan was in the "Letters from the Mayor" s…

I mentioned it when their brownfield proposal came up. If I remember right from reading through the packet, they're going to keep the front portion of the old building they're tearing down at the corner and build onto it. I think they'll also be bui…

I haven't seen the exterior lighting on City Hall, but you have me curious about it now. As far as southwest Lansing goes, they could do wonders just by doing something with the Holmes & Pleasant Grove intersection. The old school there could…

Yeah, that makes sense. It reminds of how close we're getting to seeing Red Cedar Renaissance get going, I wonder if everything is still on schedule for a spring start?

I think I'd second the idea of the county taking over the River Trail, they've already shown they're pretty good at running parks. It's becoming an increasingly regional system anyways, it may as well be operated and paid for regionally. At S Was…

Everything I went back and skimmed through said either a fall or November start, including an August 5th LSJ article. What article said spring 2016?

I'd be very interested in seeing what a primarily residential development in that area would look like. I'd think that something primarily made up of townhouse/single family units with some 2-3 floor mixed use buildings would be perfect.

There are renderings of the old proposals for this property here: 7 Block Development The news that there has been activity there is interesting, especially given the low office vacancy rate downtown. There's a lot to speculate on, but I'd imagin…

Yeah the Deluxe Inn concept was mentioned recently and I dug up the rendering to repost a few pages ago. Here it is:
-
As far as I know, the larger building to the left in the new rendering is at best conceptual, or even something just thrown in the background by Studio Intrigue. If they do build on the lots around the rowhouse style buildings I hope that they rehab…

This is a small two floor, likely single user office building taking up only a fraction of the site that would fit well along any suburban corridor. What was proposed before was a four floor mixed use building that took up most of the site, it had a…

CBRE is marketing a 19k sq ft office building for Washington & St Joe, there's a sign with the rendering up at the corner: 616 S Washington. It's not an ugly building, but It's disappointing compared to what was proposed. I'm really curious abou…

@Jared It does say in the article that a test bus they built traveled 258 miles a single charge and it separately states that it can charge in "as little as 5 minutes." I doubt their claims, but I'd agree that at the rate things are going it should …

The "Alive After 5" part is kinda cheesy but I definitely like the style of it.
-
The more thought I've put into it the more I feel like there is no saving the current market; the location is poor for a market, the building is cheaply built and small with little to no room to expand and there's very little parking. I continue …
-
I'm surprised that they have the ability to travel 250 miles and that they can charge the battery in five minutes. I wonder if the 250 mile range counts in stopping and starting every half mile? If these are for real and priced competitively they wi…
-
Well, it's a start. I'm not sure whatever you can squeeze into a 1k sq ft space is going to be enough to convince people to frequent it though. It seems like a general purpose grocer is also kind of counterproductive to the idea of a market. Then ag…

Yeah, I think the Entertainment Express can probably be considered a failure at this point, it always looks empty. I could imagine it being much more successful if it were free, I'd also agree that it'd probably be better off served by traditional b…
