  • They did attempt a weekly farmers market out on the plaza area a month or so ago. However it was quickly canned because they didn't have the vendors (they had two vendors and both left early) or the shoppers to support it. They should loop the river…
  • Yeah, everything I'm seeing is $276 million. Either it was a mistake or they know something we don't.
  • It's been a while since we've heard anything on this project so I'm not 100% sure on the status but I just went by the old YMCA building just a bit ago. The building looks pretty gutted as of now. Wonder if they're close to demolition.
  • Lansing Business News posted a nice feature on the surge of development that has been happening in Lansing. Thought it would be good to post their summary as a quick glance at all the projects going on. Under Construction Jackson National: $1…
  • MichMatters, there's definitely plenty on Michigan Avenue that needs to be fixed. I was just talking the immediate surroundings like the Frandor Shopping Mall. I think this is just the catalyst that this area needs. With the Red Cedar Renaissance ho…
  • Hopefully this will encourage the areas around (Frandor Shopping Mall) to ramp up the curb appeal of their place.
  • I always thought that the plans were for two separate buildings along Cedar. Of course the Outfield apartments are already breaking the mold a bit.
  • Big new development for the Impression 5 Science Center. They will be building a $600,000 two story water exhibit meant to teach children about water transportation and the effects of it. Fox 47 - Impression 5 Science Center
  • Looks like the concrete pad by the Marketplace Apartments was a base for a statue. Kind of a weird angle from behind but it is a metal sculpture of a man holding a toolbox.
  • I'm so excited for this project! I'm really hoping that it makes it's November groundbreaking.
  • Myself as well. I love the rivertrail. I was just noticing that the landscaping around the City Market and a few of the flower beds are looking like they've been forgotten about. Not necessarily groundbreaking stuff that absolutely needs to be fixed…
  • In response to your earlier statement gbinlansing, I would love for more landscaping in the area but I wish Lansing would also maintain some of the landscaping it already has. The rivertrail by the City Market and along Accident Fund is an absolute …
  • The Michigan Avenue mural project launched a crowdfunding campaign. A bit more to it than I thought. The project is calling for revised green space under the bridge and multi-colored lights in addition to four murals. Here's some images from the …
  • Just some things I noticed on my walk tonight. The Lansing Brewery murals are looking great. It looks like they're building a concrete slab on the corner of Kalamazoo and Cedar in the Marketplace Apartments lot. Looks like it could be a p…
  • I'm not the biggest fan of it but it works for a couple of reasons. It's painted red with sections in black for what I assume to match the Lugnuts colors. Also I feel that the bright new paint job does quite a bit to make it stand out in that block …
  • Looks like renovations have finally begun on the old Capital City Bookstore and Hallmark store downtown.
  • I walked by there just yesterday. It's amazing how different it looks. Hopefully it will encourage more development in the area with the block being cleaned up along with the new apartment buildings.
  • Did anybody see this on Adado Riverfront Park? The cement is cracking and Mayor Virg Bernero said overall Adado Riverfront Park is looking tired. "We have older, but the amount of traffic, the amount of volume that goes in there ... that's ou…
  • I believe it will just be on the top floor, not the roof but I could be wrong. I can't remember the exact number but it will be more than the first building by about 10 or so. I believe it will be 5 floors like the current one with the first floor s…

  • Gillespie Group recently had a meeting where the plans of the new building were revealed. Unfortunately I was not able to attend but I can confirm that it will be the expansion towards Shiawasee. This building will have more amenities for the reside…
