I forgot to post this before, but WILX had a close up rendering of the temporary/boutique casino in one of their stories a week or so ago:
-
@david_shane The only other things I could think of trying would be finding out the general contractor and asking them, persuing the architect further or just digging deep into Google or the various photo sites hoping to find something. As for th…

Someone over at SSP asked about office vacancy rates which prompted me to go look up the most recent ones from CBRE. Downtown Lansing has an almost crazy low 3.2% class A vacancy rate, though I don't think that included Knapps as the report is from …

I remember TechSmith now. I'm kinda glad they didn't build their headquarters there, maybe when the time comes they actually will move downtown.
-
I've heard of TechSmith before, do you know about how many employees they have? About Spartan Internet, has anyone heard what's going on with their Holmes St School headquarters? I thought the project was dead awhile ago, but a little over a year…
-
They haven't been totally clear, but from what I understand the project is totally ready to go from the city's point of view. I assume that stadium renovations will begin when baseball's over. As for The Outfield project, they said it will be ready …

It's great to see a sizable company relocate there. This reminds again that I need to get down there and take some pictures or at least walk by to get a look up close, I'm still impressed every time I drive by. It's still sinking in that the Knapps …

I'm guessing the area at the corner that says "NIC" is where the hotel will go. It seems like a fairly small footprint so I'd imagine it will either be a small hotel or, more likely, a relatively tall building for the area.
-
It certainly adds to the momentum, I'm interested to see what the next steps are for both sides.

This talk as got me thinking of the most likely project to be announced next and the only one I can think of on the horizon is Gillespie's property at Larch and Michigan. I know the proposal was last known to be 3-4 floors, but that was preliminary.…
-
I wouldn't doubt it, especially if Gillespie were the developer (he could easily have a deal with National City for their building). It'd be wise for him or anyone else to capitalize on the future Red Cedar development as much as they can before pro…

I would love to see infill also, but I believe a high-rise would do so much for morale, it would prove the market to developers, banks and residents. Tall buildings have always been symbolic of prosperity, they're truly a sign of a healthy real esta…

Yup, just look at how Grand Rapids and Ann Arbor are taking off. There's no reason why Lansing/East Lansing couldn't keep up with or outpace Ann Arbor in terms of development. I'm sure Lansing's time is coming, especially given the amount of interes…

I read this earlier and laughed a little to myself. This property seems destined to disappoint, I supposed it's not worth saying much until they show off their new plans.
-
I don't see this ramp doing anything other than serving out another 15 years or less of life as a parking ramp, hopefully by then someone will have a better use for the property. The low floor height of ramps makes them practically useless as anythi…
-
Yeah, I can't believe these people. It's like they've been completely oblivious to the changes that are happening around them and to the trends in the housing market in general. One of the quotes was someone concerned about property values, it's as …

I'm guessing I saw that a week ago when I didn't post the story lol.

I forgot to post this from last weeks LACG: Expansion, makeover in the works for OTCA building I can't really make out exactly what they're doing from the description in the article, anyone been by there recently? Found a picture of the buildi…

The article says that Biggby will "fill much of the first floor," saying that there will be 2,000-2,200 sq ft of additional space for another tennant. It also says that there will be 240 parking spots between the basement and the second floor, nothi…

Since our esteemed attorney general thought this decision was key to Lansing's casino I'll take this as a good sign: Supreme Court says Michigan can't block Indian casino I actually thinks this makes a new casino in Lansing very, very likely. I w…
