Another article on the project from todays LSJ, it's basically just a feel-good article: Newest downtown project spurs excitement, optimism I am glad to here though that class-A office space only has a 6.1% vacancy rate downtown, I think that's p…

The Yellow Cab building is one building that I won't miss regardless of what the lands used for. It's such an ugly, dilapidated building, I think a parking lot or even a grass lot would be an improvement. This also basically guarantees that the site…

A small chunk of news: The city of Lansing has a proposal in this weeks council meeting to buy the Yellow Cab building on Cedar St to raze and turn it into a parking lot. It states that the primary reason for acquiring the property is to facilitate …

I think that building is just office. It was supposed to be renovated into lofts, but I remember hearing that they decided just to make it into offices. It was discussed on one of the forums awhile back, it was called 301 Place. I can find mentions …

If the city is going to own and operate the parking garage, I see no issue with this. The city should profit from it, I know Lansing does quite well on its parking lots and garages.

I did not know that Cooley scooped up those buildings, thats kinda disappointing really. I think they have plenty of room for expansion between their library location and the lot next to the Temple Building, it's probably a sign that they intend to …

I had heard of that parking garage before from my parents. Apparently it was sort of a shoddy building and wasn't around for all that long. Besides that all I know is that it was 8 floors, the discolored line on the side of the Masonic Temple was th…

I'll have to check it out next time I'm by there. I wonder if they've really started construction already? I'm not a big fan of suburban development, but I like it a lot more when it's developments like this one.

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
