DTN has out some refined preliminary massings for the Park District on the westside of downtown EL:

The Lansing Township-based rental property magnate plans for 490 apartments (between 900 and 1,000 beds), a 120-room hotel, 50,000 square feet of retail space, a new parking garage and about 900 parking spaces. The total size of the project amounts to 1 million square feet, DTN President Tom Kuschinski told the council.
An exclusively residential building sits at the corner of Evergreen and Albert avenues. It sits east of Valley Court Park, with space planned for a future farmer's market on the park's eastern edge, according to Kuschinski. A majority of the new Park District's retail space will be focused near the corner of Abbot Road and Albert Avenue.

The regional apartment giant also is in the process of developing a 124-luxury apartment building as part of Lansing Township's The Heights at Eastwood development.
Additionally, DTN plans to raze the original Biggby location at 270 W. Grand River Ave in East Lansing, replacing it with a mixed-use development including 148 apartments, a parking structure with 190 spaces and 5,000 square feet of retail space, half of which would belong to the coffee chain.

This is probably the densest thing proposed at the site since this thing began planning in 2006. This is a pretty good plan considering how irregular the blocks are and what they have to work around.
