  • A small update on EL's Evergreen properties, they have selected the firm to represent the property (Savills) and set an asking price, $4.435m, they make it clear that they do no necessarily expect to get that price. It's always seemed implied that t…
  • This is exactly the kind of little negative thing that I've seen too much of in this city in recent years, it's part of why I feel so torn on this city's future. If this kind of stuff is making to committee I can only imagine the other kinds of mist…
  • I agree. If they need more space, acquire the necessary land to build an addition on the south side of the building. If they have to close completely for a year or two for a full renovation then so be it. I'm not willing to vote for the likely $50+ …
  • CADL is apparently contemplating a move again: https://www.lansingcitypulse.com/stories/cadl-move-from-capital-avenue-location-under-active-consideration,111665 One concerning but potentially coincidental bit of info from the article mentions a …
  • You sure they totally killed it? It was only back in 2021 and I don't think the plans were intended to be immediate at the time. https://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/local/2021/05/05/emergent-biosolutions-eyes-dewitt-location-biopharm…
  • As far as I know its all operations from MLK and some scattered stuff from other sites. On that note... Apparently when they were adding on to the MLK lab recently they already were planning this new facility, the assumption/rumor among state emp…
  • Agreed on the nice design. To be fair NIowave is just doing particle accelerator work and Neogen only works with food pathogens afaik, this state lab will be working with infectious diseases, a bit of a different beast. That being said they are curr…
  • It would have been nice to have a new 300k sq ft building downtown, I think the CDC has high level labs at their downtown Atlanta HQ so I don't think there's any reason why they couldn't have done that. I'm not surprised they put it out at Secondary…
  • FYI you can easily get them down to $4.99 per month when you call to cancel, but the price reverts in 12 months.
  • Yeah, I may renew someday but it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Why not just offer a reasonable rate without having to call every year and complain? And to go all the way to $25 per month for just digital access? I'd happily pay $5 per month o…
  • I wanted the share with anyone who has an LSJ subscription that they have quietly raised their price to $20 per month and are now raising it again to $25 per month. Absolutely ridiculous price, I just called to cancel my subscription. Just fyi in ca…
  • There's some construction going on visible from the freeway near Davis Hwy, for some reason I had assumed it had to do with the Consumers move but that's not the case, it's a new state lab. This new lab is set to replace the State's facility on N ML…
  • @MichMatters Was there no further details on what's planned? Another thing added to the development rundown list, hopefully you don't mind I'm borrowing your image links for the projects you share? At 55k sq ft it's significantly larger than Mcla…
  • While the renderings are bad, that's not why I call them projects, the design just makes things worse. Walnut Park, while a nice looking building, has had its problems. And I don't think it's as highly subsidized as these buildings will be?? Having …
  • Thanks for the renders. @citykid implied existing code shouldn't allow these designs so we'll see how it plays out I guess. I'm hoping the city can convince the LHC to sell their remaining property in this neighborhood. They cannot build another …
  • I feel like I'm so behind on this zoning stuff. I had somehow forgotten or overlooked that the entirety of the Cedar/Larch corridor is already zoned DT, that is a comforting fact. I also agree on the lot sizes, being able to get two houses on the 60…
  • Just want to say I couldn't agree more with Mr Eliis' email and @MichMatters sentiment on the FBC.
  • After looking into that a bit more the namesake Schuster Family donated $8 million for its construction, so philanthropy is also at play.
  • Don't hold me to the accuracy (I asked Chat GPT) here but: Lansing / Dayton Median Income City $45k / $38k Median Income Metro $62k / $62k Median House Value City $104k / $63k Median House Value Metro $193k / $171k City Population 112k / 137k …
  • Good to hear that it will be the version with the parking garage. I get that the Feds have their design guidelines/requirements for these sorts of facilities but I'm fairly certain they could have been satisfied with barriers similar to the downt…
