The Lansing Brownfield Redevelopment Authority approved the large Red Cedar Renaissance project yesterday, and the plan will now go for council approval next week. Remediation will begin this summer if things stay on schedule.

Parking for the massive park has been moved where the student housing was on the east side of the property. From the LSJ: Quote:

Pile driving began last week for 100 West Grand River. Foundation permits were also filed for the neighboring Graduate East Lansing hotel, so we should be seeing that begin construction next month. Loopnet appears to have linkable renderings for this one:

The Hub - March 1
https://instagram.fdet1-1.fna.fbcdn.....fna.fbcdn.net https://www.instagram.com/p/BueO1IPATyz/ This one is nearly topped out. The main roof is done, but the final pour is for the highest roof, which is the outdoor amenities deck. |

As nice as these new high-rises are, I really wish East Lansing would focus more on fine-grain incremental development, and major street calming measures.

600 East Michigan - the one that will include the urban-concept Meijer - is inching closer and closer to construction. The developer put out a picture of the heavy equipment on site, recently:

Nextdoor and adjacent will be the 124-room hotel with 10,000 square foot first-floor lounge. The hotel will also have a cafe and conference space. |

A sandy beach is coming to Lansing's riverfront Quote:

From last week, but some photo updates of Park District and Center City in East Lansing: https://www.eastlansingbuzz.org/sing...ate-03-22-2019
At Park District, 100 West Grand River has its stair and elevator cores started. The tower crane will come soon. The Graduate Hotel on the other lot was issued permits, finally, so if foundation work hasn't already begun, it will within the coming week. https://static.wixstatic.com/media/f...31e5b~mv2.webp At Center City, Landmark has gotten most of its windows and paneling continues. In the interior, there are now finished apartments up to the 5th floor. On Newman Lofts, it is 2/3 topped out. It's ground floor retail is coming along nicely with buildouts and brick. https://static.wixstatic.com/media/f...10968~mv2.webp Not much to see at The Hub down the street. It's topped out, drywall has reached level 7. Metal and brick work continues on the facade. Here's a shot of the rooftop deck from a few days ago: https://scontent.fdet1-1.fna.fbcdn.n...d4&oe=5D0EBE62 https://www.facebook.com/HubOnCampus...type=3&theater |
In Lansing, barriers were erected yesterday around the site of 600 East Michigan, the mixed use Meijer, apartment and hotel development in the Stadium District.

Seems like those projects get into gear quite quickly once given the go-ahead. Good stuff.

The Park Place high-rise has requested a delay of its project after a few obstacles popped up. The first is the uncertainty that City Council will ultimately approve the 160-foot height overlay for downtown. The Planning Commission voted 8-1 to recommend denial for this ordinance. Without it, the 159-foot Park Place East can not be built as currently planned. The second obstacle is that the developers want to get shovels in the ground as quickly as possible, and having to wait for all of the condo pre-sales they'd have to nail down before construction would start is not a risk they want to take.
They are now wanting to resubmit the scaled down plan to council on April 15th. It's really not much of a scaled down version, than it is what they originally proposed. Park Place east will have its 13 and 14 floors cut off to fit into the current 140-foot height limit. They'd added these floors as the city was requiring them to put up a plaza along the southside of Park Place East, which forced out a restaurant and retail space planned for that section of the building. To recoup the revenue that'd be lost for that, they added two more floors of condos. Park Place West is undergoing a total redesign. https://eastlansinginfo.org/sites/de...?itok=PuRsYfDl https://eastlansinginfo.org/sites/de...?itok=xMGbJYzi What I hope is that the redesign of Park Place West - the shorter of the two - is for aesthetic and bulk purposes, and not because they plan on getting rid of the theater. |
Demolition for 600 East Michigan has officially begun:

Concrete pours began on Monday for the new McLaren Greater Lansing Hospital in the University Corporate Research Park on the far-eastside, officially beginning construction:
https://www.gannett-cdn.com/presto/2...unds&auto=webp https://www.gannett-cdn.com/presto/2...unds&auto=webp https://www.lansingstatejournal.com/...in/3367812002/ - Construction equipment is on site for the Graduate Hotel going up in downtown Lansing at Park District. Though, they are requesting a modification to the site plan for this one. They want to remove two small retail units on the ground floor - neighboring 100 West Grand River's ground floor is almost entirely retail - and move the hotel's fitness center and some back-of-house services down that way. However, they also want to activate a coutyard that had been planned mostly just to be a landscaped area with a few seats. - Speaking of Park District, 100 West Grand River already has the base of its tower crane built, and they've already started framing the ground floor. - 600 East Michigan continues apace with more demolition work taking place on site yesterday. The mayor was on-site yesterday for a photo-op: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D3vTL_BWAAAaVDS.jpg https://twitter.com/andyschor/status...18308530147328 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D3vFHDQWkAUy8JU.jpg https://twitter.com/GillespieGrp/sta...02063365861377 - Provident Place at 2222 East Michigan down the avenue looks to be framed up to the 3rd or its 4 floors. |
- The East Lansing City Council passed the modified site plan for the Graduate Hotel the other night, which means there won't be a potential slow down in its construction, which is imminent.
- At the same meeting, and in something of a surprise, the council narrowly passed a new height overlay district for most of the downtown zoning district in East Lansing, which raises the maximum allowable height in the district to 160 feet (from 140 feet). Still 20 feet off from the 180-foot height limit in Ann Arbor, but the 140 feet had been a hard 140-foot limit for decades. So it was a surprise that the council passed it. |
