  • 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.
  • I was looking through the city council packet and seen the 3600 Dunckel development and it will be a reuse of the current building. The 144 condos will become 142 student housing units made up of 129 efficiencies, 9 two bedrooms and 4 one bedrooms. …
  • I think this project is just about perfect for its location it'd be so good if there were more things like this going on in Old Town. I hope that this is just the beginning for new construction in Old Town, I still wish Richard Karp's project would …
  • Thanks for sharing, I'm very glad to see a few things in that plan. My favorite potential new pathway is the one that will continue east from this new one on Jolly, I was thinking not long ago that it would be great too see a path through the gravel…
  • I'm really glad to see a major pathway that's not directly part of the Rivertrail. I'm sure there are some other potential locations along old railroad lines and what not that could provide similar opportunities. This seemed to come out of nowhere, …
  • I recently heard that the State Police may move to secondary complex and sell their new building on Grand, possibly to the Feds. Apparently it's part of a plan that includes the construction of a new emergency operations center at secondary complex,…
  • All the streets bounding to site are already existing, north is to the left. The plaza currently out there is at the bottom of this rendering and looks like it will be partially razed. I pinned the location here: http://goo.gl/maps/tN8z2
  • WILX posted a site plan in their story:
  • I don't totally disagree with the location of the building, it may seem like sprawl now, but in the long term it will make sense. (After looking at the 2020 plan update there is a lot to take in including a number of new buildings in the south acade…
  • I found a rendering of the new bio engineering facility: MSU Board Approves Bio Engineering Project
  • Anyone seen the Dye water plant lately? They took down the neon BWL sign, replacing it with plastic junk and they're painting it goofy colors. I'd suggest writing the BWL...
  • Apparently Gillespie owns the Goodyear Tire building on Michigan and is looking to develop it. 1309 E Michigan It's looking like there is going to be a ton of development on Michigan Ave. between Lansing and East Lansing over the next few years, …
  • A rendering of DTN's 300 Grand River project was included in their City Center 2 proposal. This is the project that they're tearing the Bigby down for and includes the land that was supposed to be part the west village project. The building will be …
  • I was by Knapps last week and they had most of the windows in. They looked really nice, I'm not sure if they're glass block or if they just look like it. At the very least it's a promising sign for the quality of the renovation.
  • I'm pretty sure that site plan is older, I posted the same site plan in this thread on March 19, 2011. I certainly hope that they don't plan on building an office building like that there.

  • I think it will use the existing line, at least mostly. However, they added on 120k sq ft to accommodate the much lower production ats. For the Camaro they'll probably add a 3rd shift and need at least a few hundred thousand square feet of new space…
  • I would think that site work, especially any environmental work would need to begin very soon for production to begin in 2-3 years. I'm assuming that a moderate expansion will be needed for this and I would think it will be towards MLK. At 70k units…
  • This could explain the recent activity near the Grand River plant: GM to Move Camaro Production to Lansing
  • I don't think it's too bad of an idea for the city to own a garage in this area as long as it actually operates as public garage. The Ingham County Courts would likely make use of some of the extra parking, it may also be able serve some future buil…
