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…

Yeah, I'm saying this is about the same as the rendering I posted awhile back. Different than the site plan you recently shared that I thought was an updated plan. Site plan you shared in an August 2nd post on this thread:

You're thinking about a big change to the site? Like new forum software?

I'm not sure what you mean by marked as read, like even threads with new posts show them as all read? Everything is working fine for me, nothing has changed. You use Chrome? Are you using this address: https://develop.metrolansing.com/discussions…

The lack of a parking garage and a completely different condensed building footprint that was likely one or two floors taller would have been a pretty big plus imo. Not quite making up for all the front yard parking but still notably better.

They're involved in a lot of things, including MBI and a couple of the MSU buildings up in GR: https://www.msufoundation.org/buildings https://www.msufoundation.org/locations This sort of thing is not a small deal if it's not literally small. I…

I'd welcome something like a pedicab, I thought I've seen at least one running around in the past but not recently. Any out of the ordinary thing like that is good to have in town. The pedal powered party bus things seem to do ok here, at least the …

@MichMatters That public safety building site plan is different than the one you posted from the planning commission meeting on August 3rd. This most recent one looks more like the plan that had been posted awhile back and shared in a WKAR story. I …

Yeah, I'd agree that a dedicated parking space should probably not be a requirement. Even in rental situations there's cases where people will not need a car. That's not even considering the looming rollout of robotaxis, which will make personal …

A small bit of insight on what the MSU Foundation is proposing on Harrison: https://www.msufoundation.org/msuresearchfoundation-news/msu-trustees-authorize-long-term-lease-negotiation-with-msu-research-foundation They're calling it an "innovatio…

Yeah, I have no idea why they went with that panel projecting off the side of the building. I'm going to assume it's somehow necessary or they really hated the look without it, hopefully they're not forgetting this is Michigan and falling ice/snow o…

I like the building more now that I see the wider view. I was worried about that box sticking out on Washington that I could see on the edge of the other renderings, but now that I see it in context it isn't terrible. Obviously not ideal, but not te…

Nice. The Ovation Facebook page posted a few more renderings: https://www.facebook.com/ovationlansing/posts/pfbid0bXo7FibhWvxrcAjQvn9jGuKS7neQQ68hKEa9yszrhG1dL9VL3c7f4FXik7qiwjGRl As of yet I'm not seeing any good overall views of the whole buil…

I'd love to know at what price point retail space in a new mid rise or 5-over-1 becomes viable. A lot of times developers of new buildings are picky about their commercial tenants which is part of it, another reason is that developers and real estat…
