MM, the way I read the article about Capitol Club, they are waiting to mass market this project until they actually break ground. That they are holding off until they're closer so people they pull in from marketing don't get tired of waiting and pul…

Two questions: 1. Any ideas why the Boji's haven't taken down the scaffolding for the old sign at the top of the Boji Tower? 2. Since the Accident Fund project seems to be pretty much a given (I hope I don't jynx it), what is the next most signifi…

Thanks a million jwsw...I wasn't ignoring you Jared, but I couldn't find the article and I had recently linked some LSJ articles so I wasn't sure where I got that quote from...I thought I was going crazy! And I agree that that is really strange.

Matt Martyn of Ahptic Film and Digital mentions the $9 million studio that it is on hold as long as the legislature is considering rescinding some of the 42% tax incentives. To be honest, I'm pleasantly surprised that they are still considering it a…

They're calling for ground breaking 2010 and opening 2012...no surprise, but they also said the price has risen from $40 million to $40-45 million. So at least it sounds like costs have been reined in since the shocking $160 million had been thrown …

I agree hood, right now I'd be ecstatic just to see Capitol Club and MarketPlace get dirt moving.

On the south side facing michigan ave. on the 1st floor (covering a space where a window used to be.

They seem to have alot of the internal construction scaffolding set-up inside all the way to the, including lights. So the other night when I walked by, when looking through the giant windows it was lit-up inside all the way to the top...it was awes…

I didn't think this was worth its own thread at this point, so a rail thread I thought was best for now. They are looking into a high speed rail service between Lansing, Detroit and Ann Arbor. It would incorporate distribution systems for hydrogen g…

Lansing's airport is getting direct flights to NY and D.C. on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays! This could be really good for the airport. We'll have direct flights to some good places. http://www.lansingstatejournal.com/article/20090312/NEWS03/9031…

E. Lansing sounds like they're on board for light rail. That's a good thing...it's been nice hearing all the regional cooperation lately, with that things can really start happening with regional cooperation. Things like light rail will ONLY work wi…

I noticed this morning that renovation of the facade for Kelly's and the former Byblos is underway. Steel/metal beams have been put over the existing brick facade and plywood has been put up over the metal. There are setbacks starting at the top tha…

I remember there being $1 million in the stimulus wish list for Lansing for the Capitol Club project. If I remember correctly, it wasn't directly for the project, but was for fixing up the riverfront area in front of the proposed site. If that $1 mi…

That makes sense...I just didn't know how much possibility there was that the major building construction could damage the beautification work such as trees etc. But it sounds like that is pretty minimal compared to the benefits of doing it that way…

The city has solid plans to start construction end of March on beautifying the river front by AF and the City Market spending $3.2 million. I kinda wonder how that's going to work...why start beautifying the area when AF construction is under way an…

Are you sure that the cause for the move is that they can't sustain their Denver call center? Another part of the article that sounded good was that their former headquarters building is now full except for 1 floor.

Regarding the Towne Center Building and LCC, I should have been more specific in my question. I meant to ask if anyone knew if they're building any new structures as part of their project? Do I read your post correctly MM that they are simply rennov…

Are you guys saying this about the city's economic hub at the Stadium District being a: good, bad or neutral thing? I don't see it as bad, but I can't decide which of the other two it is. Also, I noticed the north side of the building at Capitol an…

Good points...cars getting through was one reason, and I would agree with you that in this case they should be 2nd, but I was also thinking that having it on Allegan would allow the end of the block at Allegan and Washington to remain open which mig…

Also, I was talking to the owner of TedDees and he made a comment I thought was interesting. He said he'd like to see Blues on the Square move to Allegan instead of Washington...he thought it would open things up more for people to get to explore mo…
