@hood Those Mall Ct addresses might be owned by Dymaxion, which is part of Urban Systems. The mailing address for them is 503 Mall Ct Ste 312, which is basically just the UPS Store in Frandor.

@MichMatters yep, I view this the same as you. An advertisement aimed at investors. Still fun to talk about and imagine though. @hood I haven't asked him much. I know his vision is reclaiming, repurposing, infilling, and creating a more walkable …

I know my friend is working on the old Lake Trust site, so I'm assuming the colored buildings on the rendering are all their proposed projects. It looks like a tall (for Lansing) apartment proposal over 496, probably with some mixed use on the groun…

A friend of mine is part of Urban Systems. He's told me about the idea to build above 496 to connect downtown to REO a few years ago. When he described it, I didn't realize that he meant substantial buildings like this, I had something smaller pictu…

If the entire township folded into Lansing, that's a big win for the city and the region. I could see this for the NE and western chunks of the township. Who knows what happens with the farm land adjacent to MSU ag areas. It probably makes more sens…

I can smell that screenshot

Kyle edited the article with this: Editor’s note: This story has been corrected to clarify that migration trends examined by CommercialCafe were between metropolitan statistical areas, as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau — which locally includes …

...I'm not seeing much of a wonderful change, but I'm not a partisan either. *shrug*

I wonder which proposed use is getting replaced with this mini storage; the restaurant, hotel, office, or bank...or all of the above.

I hate Lansing Township as a jurisdiction. Everything about their existence, their borders, and the way that they operate as a government is an abomination. I know annexation isn't happening, so I wish that Delta residents and Lansing Township resid…

Disappointed to see a population decrease within the city limits in the last census. Breakdown by community via Bridge Michigan * Lansing 112,644 (-1,653) -1.4% * Lansing Township 8,143 (17) 0.2% * Dewitt 4,776 (269) 6% * Dewitt Township 4,776…

Great article today in the LSJ for subscribers only discussing the possibilities and options for downtown in light that many State of Michigan employees will remain remote workers. Ideas included redeveloping vacant office buildings into condos and …

Lansing and LSD were in expansion mode during that time. Fine Park is probably named for the developer Francis Fine, who developed Churchill Downs (across Waverly) the decade prior. He may have developed this neighborhood as well, assuming this beca…

> State workers will be coming back downtown (and to wherever else they work in-office) on July 12. I know the commercial businesses downtown will be happy. Some are coming back, not all of them. Many that do come back will be splitting re…

@gbdinlansing The terrain at Northrup is rolling, so not as prominent as Mt Hope. I bike that stretch of the trail quite a bit. Here's the topos for both Mt Hope and Northrup. The closer that lines are together, the steeper the terrain.

This is probably an unpopular opinion, but I'd rather the greenspace remain than see the planned development happen. It's so uninspiring.
-
That would have been an abomination. The image is "scheme C" or "scheme D" (it's hard to tell) and there's more pics of that and other proposed designs here; https://photos.metrotimes.com/michigan-state-capitol-redesign-never/?slide=8&scheme-c-e…

I absolutely love this, not only for COVID but in general. I specifically choose places with outdoor seating from spring-fall, which means I have a short rotation list of places.

The hope is probably to draw in the new residents to push out the vagrants.

...why would you be opposed to more residential...in an area you're trying to revitalize with more foot traffic. I like her son, I'm in his ward, but I'm glad she's gone.
