Well, it looks like the developer was in fact able to work out the issue the city had with their site plan. From late January:
DRW Convexity Project at Blighted Corner Is Back On Track

DRW Convexity's project for East Lansing’s long-blighted vacant downtown corner is back on track.
Two weeks ago, ELi broke the story that the major redevelopment project by DRW Convexity had been put on hold because the developers submitted plans for building permits that didn’t match what City Council had approved.
East Lansing Director of Planning Tim Dempsey told ELi today that now the developers have submitted a new set of plans aimed at matching what Council approved. Planning staff is reviewing them now, and is not anticipating any additional major problems.
In the meantime, foundation permits for the project’s biggest building have been approved. Excavation has started on the corner lot at Abbot Road and Grand River Avenue.

The excavators working there recently found some unexpected old foundation, so that’s caused a bit of an unexpected delay, but it’s all expected to still be basically on schedule.

A major electrical trunk line owned by the Lansing Board of Water and Light (BWL) runs underground where the new 13-story building is set to be constructed. That line, which serves most of downtown, has to be moved as part of this project.

And according to the city website, the start of piling drilling (110 of them) starts today. Anyway, here are the updated renderings from the developer:
