  • I don't see $24 million as an unrealistic number for this renovation. As you said the building was fairly recently occupied as an office building and has been maintained. You could almost build a brand new building Knapp's size for $24 million. B…
  • Seen this on Eyde's site, no more info other than a picture and a name: "Central Park mixed use development - Okemos, MI"
  • I'm fairly confident that Eyde will get the incentives that he seeks, they're all pretty strait forward and I think it will be a very deserving project. For a second I was wondering if they were going to try to use the development bonds on this proj…
  • This is out of left field. I seen on the news they said that Bernero was meeting with Eyde and State officials to discuss a possible development for the building. I'll be eagerly awaiting hearing more details on this one. I think the best case scen…
  • Do you know how students are counted in the census? That could really skew the numbers for that area.
  • I agree on the Downtown Doghouse. It would be really nice to see Allegan go two-way, it may allow for more businesses to open up on that street. The only thing that may have a chance in that location as-is would be a bar or club of enough significan…
  • I thought that I even heard that the owner of Tavern on the Sq planned to open up a new bar in its old location after it moves. Also, I had seen an application for a liquor license with dance permit for 408 S Washington a couple months ago. That wou…
  • I was by there, and it is looking better than it was, still not the best though. I think the most important thing to look at here is that a bar/club operator from outside the area chose to invest in downtown Lansing, that says something about the st…
  • I'm really liking the choice of architecture that MSU has in designing their new buildings. Did anyone ever find renderings of the Plant Science addition?
  • I'll have to make it a point to drive by there later. the way it was looking was pretty disappointing the way it was, any improvements would be welcome.
  • These are some great pictures. Glad to see them.
  • Looks like they finally started tearing down the Governor's Inn: Vacant Lansing hotel razed to make way for Sonic
  • I also noticed that. I was wondering if they meant to include the new name in the article or if they didn't intend to mention it getting a new name. I don't have a clue what they would rename it.
  • Hopefully Gillespie follows through with the plans to begin construction on Market Place by the end of the year. I guess if we see them paving over the site for a parking lot we have something to be worried about.

  • It looks like it. It also looks like there may be some interesting exterior lighting.
  • An article on the PSD in todays LSJ: Principle Shopping District gains momentum, support
  • I think this is a good idea. It would be nice to see the old armory saved and reused.
  • Cheesecake Factory isn't a restaurant or bar, is it?
  • I'm especially glad to hear of a potential restaurant tenant. I can't wait to hear more on that.
  • I agree with all your points except the one about the stadium, I look at Olds Park as the one thing we've done right, I don't think it could be any better given our city's size. The Lansing Center is an embarrassment, and a simple expansion won't ch…
