I'll go if it's after 530. Maybe Nuthouse?

I know I've been squinting trying to read the site plan, too. I am guessing that the hotel would be the second from the left, top row. It has the covered turn around usually associated with hotel check-in and valet- and what may be space for meeti…

Ideally, we'd see something like this: http://www.unionsquaregr.com/ I think that is a few years away, though (and may require the high speed bus system and some prior investment in the neighborhood directly to the west of Eastern). I don't kno…

I have heard from very good sources that Sparrow wants the Eastern HS property (maybe plans for it...) I think it is very likely that it will happen, and it would mean a lot of money for LSD (perhaps an unfortunate choice of words there). I'm torn…

The containers are for the renovations to the interior of Meijer. I've been out of town for a while, but when I left (2 weeks ago), they were remodeling the entire store. I'll check it out after work tomorrow and see if it's anything beyond ren…

I think the city has actually been planning this project on an appropriate scale. The plans we've seen are the most ambitious in the metro area in my memory. However, they appear unable to deliver. I think potential tenants are reluctant to sign on…

The preliminary proposal is out: http://www.mlive.com/business/jackson-lansing/index.ssf/2013/12/dtn_unveils_preliminary_plans.html#incart_river_default Sounds like there are a lot of hurdles (it includes the GR Ave property and Dublin Square). …

And, I agree about the near West side. I live on the east side, though, so I selfishly want it on the red cedar property. Haha. I don't think red cedar is even close to being ready environmentally, though. Also, the WILX article about Whole Foo…

Yeah. It's arguable whether WF counts as East Lansing development, but it will have an EL address. It will also attract more development. I noticed a big condo development was announced (behind the MAC in Meridian Township) right on the heels of …

According to their Facebook page, Whole Foods is coming to East Lansing "in 2014 or later." Actually, 2015. Just found an article: http://www.lansingstatejournal.com/article/20130801/NEWS01/308010031/Whole-Foods-coming-Meridian-Township I believ…

I agree on all points, Jared. Hopefully, the drive through will be incorporated into the enclosed parking and will share an exit with the parking. I have no idea what I'm looking at when I see that rendering. It's a cool idea, but the rendering…

Jared- I think your proposed scenario is ideal. Definitely on board with that.

There are site plans here: http://www.cityofeastlansing.com/Home/Sites/EconomicDevelopment/CurrentProjects/ParkDistrictPlanningArea/DeveloperProposalsAttachments/ I think most of the images associated with the proposals are conceptual, not officia…

The EL City Council has narrowed the list of potential developers to 2: http://www.lansingstatejournal.com/article/20130522/NEWS01/305220033/DTN-running-East-Lansing-development http://statenews.com/article/2013/05/e-l-city-council-to-decide-on-tw…

Ha!, yes! The EL Az building... Have we seen any renderings or heard any recent news about that? This block has the potential to be the coolest block in the metro area.

Thanks for the info, MichMatters. I'll try to find those articles. Not sure how I missed them. Looking at the bright side, the new building next store looks to be on schedule, and it really changes the feel on MAC and Albert. Plus, Hopcat sho…

Btw, I am generally a fan of the St Annes developers. They've invested a lot in Lansing and GR and have some classy establishments. I just don't know what happened with this project. I'm intrigued.

I didn't know there was a story about the cross. I'm not trying to suggest that the cross is intentional or a conspiracy. In fact, I think it's worse if it's accidental. Did they even hire an architect for the final plans? Btw, the cross makes …

Regarding the St Annes Lofts. Has anyone else noticed that they look nothing like the pre-construction renderings? Not even close. Also, there is a giant stone cross on the front of the building. It looks strange. I know they built an extra f…

MichMatters- Excellent points- but if your points don't support the term "mismanaged," then what word would you choose? A large (and very visible) section of the downtown area sits vacant- and has for years- because of poor choices and a lack of d…
