  • The Radisson is a joke in my eyes, I don't like how the city has catered to them in the past and I can only hope (maybe I'm too optimistic) that the City is giving their opinion too much weight now. I agree that this along with Gillespie's develo…
  • I'm not exactly happy to see that plot of land used up for a casino, I think a less appealing piece of land would do, perhaps the City's parking lot on Kalamazoo between Cedar and Larch. I do like the look of the casino, and I do like the way that i…
  • The last I read they planned on building a temporary casino at Cedar and Michigan, once a permanent casino was built the temporary one would become part of the Lansing Center. With that being said, I doubt a casino in Lansing will happen anytime in …
  • It would be pretty ridiculous to pull funding at this point, especially with MSU having already spent money on the project. On a side note, FRIB will be nowhere near as large or powerful as the LHC. FRIB will be used for a totally different purpo…
  • It will be interesting to see how this plays out: Energy secretary backs off on MSU's $550M FRIB project
  • The article states that footings for the building were poured last week with construction expected to finish in August. It also says that the building next door should get underway in the spring. Construction on $7.9M St. Anne Lofts project moves…
  • Just as an FYI, the building at Marshall in Michigan is now under construction. As of yesterday the first floor looks complete, my only complaint is that it is a wood structure, but I pretty much expected that.
  • More good news for CATA, they had a record number of riders again last year: Riding High: CATA Delivers Record 11.8 Million Rides
  • Lansing has finally received its aerotropolis designation: Lansing airport lands key designation for aerotropolis It ought to be interesting to what kind of affect this designation will have on the area, it seems unclear as to what the aerotropol…
  • If the project book you're talking about is the Melbourne Group link, that is a totally different project. I believe that would have been the plan for the hotel and office building that were proposed before, when they were fighting for the stimulus …
  • It looks like things are moving ahead for Reutter Park Place, they hope to secure financing in the next week or so and break ground in the spring: Plans for YMCA site in downtown Lansing advance
  • It looks like campus will continue to be a busy place construction-wise. Over the next 5 years they are planning 800k sq ft of new construction and 1.9m sq ft renovations. From 5-20 years out they project another 500k sq ft of new construction and a…
  • An article from Capitol Gains on the S Washington streetscape project: REO Town to receive $2.3M makeover with help from $326K federal grant
  • I'm pretty sure this is the Lenawee elevaion. I am also glad they went with a flat roof, I hated the previous design, this one is at least acceptable.
  • I'm glad to hear that this project is now including a more significant amount of commercial space, hopefully it moves forward. Rendering from this weeks council packet:
  • Knapp's is officially back on. It sounds like we won't see any major work underway until well into next year though. Eyde to proceed with Knapp's project in downtown Lansing
  • I haven't been by there since work began, thanks for the heads up. I was wondering if that project was even going to happen.
  • This is disappointing, but it doesn't sound like too big of a setback: Knapp's redevelopment effort hits setback
  • Looks like we may have a serious shot at a casino: Casino talks underway for downtown Lansing
  • I'm also really wondering what their intentions are. I would like the see the buildings turned into apartments/condos, maybe with some office and/or retail mixed in. Between the old administration building, the parking lot and the old YMCA building,…
