Thase have been sitting as is (framed with the windows in) for several weeks now, I think they are just going to end up being some cheap townhouses. Never the less they will almost certainly look better than the smal two floor office building that was there (it was the same as the two ot three to the south of it.)
Some pics of the Michigan Resturaunt Association Building:
Also, they are moving along nicely with the rennovation of the old Parthenon Resturaunt, the building has been painted and they are beginning to install new window frames for the ground floor, it also looks like they are nearly done with the building next door to the Ranney Building. Also, over the next few weekends expect to see a crane around the Grand Tower, however it is only for redoing the roof.
The steel has been finished for the Michigan Resturaunt Association Building.
Also, soemthing to watch for in future council meetings (its only listed under letters to the Mayor this week):
"Brownfield Plan #29, Kalamazoo Cold Storage Facility Brownfield Plan for property located at 711 E. Kalamazoo St. (SS2 Ventures)"
This could be interesting, I always liked this building. if anyone doesn't know it, it's the old Michigan Refridgeration company building, a three story dilapidated light blue building on Kalamazoo just east of Larch.
I know, its the only REALLY bad looking area of Lansing, I mean there are plenty of others that look rough but that stretch of kzoo looks horrible, almost like being in Detroit or Flint.
The Property Info page isn't working for me either.
On the subject of your other post, I definately agree. I was expecting at least some project announcements to come about by now, we're still waiting on the MSP HQ announcement, waiting to here more on any number of "projects in the works" i.e. Association Building, and the Stadium District moving slow adds to the frustration. I really think that next year is going to be a big year for announcements, who knows maybe we could even get to see some announcements this year yet.
BTW, from the way the council meetings have been looking we should see both the Hollister Building and Mutual Building projects starting anytime.
