But I do think this is positive and appropriate for downtown, there will be ground floor parking in an area that probably can't support retail, with four floors of residential above. It's also an innovative concept in it's construction. I just think…

I don't expect every project in Lansing to be a well layed out mixed used project with underground garages and/or parking ramps and what not. These type of modular apartment are at least interesting, and if you think that they can't be high quality …

From City Pulse: Building outside the box, with boxes Harry Hepler plans to build a 200 unit, four building apartment complex just north of his Motor Wheel Lofts. The apartments are going to be built from prefab boxes, similar to shipping contain…

Just FYI your links are all messed up for me, there seems to be two links together or something. There's a lot to take in on that map, but I'd say Lansing would be a better place had they followed this plan. From large continuous park along the r…

I had mentioned the possibility of a crane a few posts back. My dad had noticed the footing for it about a month or two ago, I was skeptical that they'd need a crane so I has assumed maybe it was for an exterior elevator instead. I asked him why he …

Eyde is planning a fairly large (80k sq ft) retail/office/industrial development on N Grand River. There will be two strip mall looking buildings situated on the site of the long empty building next to Peckam. It's nothing special, but I'm glad to s…

I noticed that on the agenda also and I totally agree with you. While I expect to see that building go, I'd rather it sit abandoned than for it to become a parking lot. I actually think the Council may reject their request, I certainly hope they do.…

They make it sound as if it's a sure thing. If done well, you're right, this could be huge. Having a large urban park with water features and sculptures and what not would be great, especially if similar to that old design. All those people will hav…

I guess the Mason Building restoration is going to be pretty extensive, I guess they're supposed to be installing a crane or construction elevator for the project. As for Constitution Hall, I was in there before and it was crazy how much wasted spac…

Not sure if anyone's seen this, but I thought it was interesting: Vintage Lansing video Source

I like this plan, especially given the location. I think this shows that you can add density while still retaining the convenience of a strip mall with surface parking, this could serve as a blueprint for what's possible down MLK, Cedar and Saginaw.

I like the layout/siteplan, although I'd like to see that pub stay. It just sucks that after all this time we're still probably at least a couple years away from shovels in the ground.

I've never received a response back from Gillespie on anything like that, so good luck if you try.

I really only assumed underground parking because I cant imagine what else they would do with a half underground first floor in a flood plain. I'm not sure...

No, im really talking about the senate-related offices, each of them has a staff and I'm sure there are other people who are/should be under the same roof. There are also their hearing rooms to consider. Even with all that it would probably be stret…

I'm not sure how much of the Senate's offices are in Farnum, but I'm pretty sure not all of them are. I'm sure they also would love more space.

Just to update, one of the stairwells is compete, and at five floors confirms underground parking. The other stairwell is at a couple floors, so steel should be going up within a few weeks I'd think. I never did put my two cents in on those lates…

I've actually grown to like the Farnum building, all the materials seem to be high quality and the interior seems interesting as far as I can see from walking by. I'd like to see a restoration of the building, it shouldn't need anything too extensiv…

I was thinking about this recently and the only other thing I could think of would be for Boji to tear down the Tower parking ramp and build on that lot, parking could become an issue though. He could conceivably do a lease to own on Capitol View, t…

What if they bought Boji Tower? I know it's unlikely, but I think they already have hearing rooms in there, it seems almost logical.
