I've imagined that this area would be great to see an assortment of rowhouses and low rise apartment buildings similar to Penfil along Eighth, Hosmer, Eureka and Prospect while sticking to mixed use buildings along the main streets. I'd also really …

The Penfil Apartments are featured in City Pulse's Eyesore of the week, in the article they mention that the owners say the building will be reopened by October as the Avenue Apartments. October would seem a little optimistic for completion, but it'…

Another auto parts supplier relocating to the area: Grand Rapids-area auto supplier plans $66M parts plant in Clinton County It's always great to see another company relocate to the area, especially as this will be a fairly large supplier for the…

I'd also be strongly against any new buildings on the Capitol grounds, but I also support doing away with all parking on the grounds. I agree on the point of adding benches around the grounds to help it function better as a park, but I'd also note t…

I may have mentioned it here before, but I really think that something big has to happen before downtown has chance at attracting national retailers. The only way I can think to boost downtown retail is to build an urban mall. Something around 4-8 f…

I hope that the expansion on Larch St will match with the area, the last thing we need is another pole barn or similarly low quality building. Also, now would be a good time to reiterate how nice it would be if they had storefront there, a part of m…

Regarding Crego, I heard about the grants and the plans, but I don't remember ever hearing anything about an opening date. I'm wondering how long it's already been open. It is disappointing to hear that they plan exclusively industrial redevelopm…

The City Pulse has an article about Crego Park this week, Welcome back, Crego I didn't even know Crego Park had already opened, did anyone else hear about it?

I can only find the listing through a Google search and not through Loopnet or CBRE directly, how did you find it? On another note, I noticed that Lansing Towers is for sale, I hope any new owner looks into a major overhaul there.

This is a rendering from Studio Intrigue's homepage, any idea what it is of?
-
That's promising, let this be the catalyst for the joining of downtown and REO Town. I think you're right about parking being a major limitation for this property, it'll be interesting to see what they have planned.
-
Any idea what concerns are being addressed or just the usual NIMBY stuff? I was actually really happy with the look and scale of the building, I'm a bit unsure about spanning the street, but they seem pretty set on that aspect of it.
-
I'm pretty certain that it won't be a fast food restaurant or anything like that, I doubt one would even be allowed in G-1. I'm sure whatever goes here couldn't be too small scale, I remember the asking price for the property was something like $1.5…

A sorta feel good article from the LSJ: What's next for Michigan Avenue? The only thing really of note is the level of confidence in Ferguson's quote regarding Red Cedar Renaissance, he said: “We’re good to go”,“We’ve got a strong project.” It's …

Yeah, I was talking about some of the old North Campus buildings along Grand River Ave that have had their exteriors restored over the past several years. I noted them because I think they did a really good job with them.
-
I haven't paid much attention, did they do anything with the outside of Demonstration Hall or just the interior? I would really like the exteriors of both buildings be rehabbed to the same quality as some of those old buildings on Grand River that t…

Breslin looks likely to be getting $28 million in upgrades soon: Michigan State considering $33 million in upgrades to Breslin Center, Daugherty Football Building. Also, an LSJ article on the upgrades at MSU: Munn Ice Arena on track for major upg…

The LSJ did another article on the Knapp's Building as it nears completion, it includes a video showing off the building in addition to the gallery they already had up: Renovated Knapp's Centre opens for business, prepares for grand opening There…

I'm glad there is some serious discussion of this, it would be great to have more transit options: MDOT to study rail line that would connect Grand Rapids, Lansing, Detroit

Yup, there is plenty of land, underused buildings and surface lots in and around downtown East Lansing, I can't imagine why they'd consider selling any park. If anything, it'd be nice to see the park get some improvements, I don't know EL too well b…
