They spent $1.2 million on this little project. I also had no idea that they added a third floor. Now what I really have to do is stop being lazy and get out to take pictures of all this stuff, it's way, way too long since my last photo update.
Yet another building going up in the Frandor area, this one will be two floors along saginaw and be almost 30,000 sq ft. It will be built between the Walgreens and the new building with the Starbucks. They will be tearing down an old two floor office building for this and it says construction should start in March. Also, they are building a new strip mall on the lot where the Lazeez grill burnt down, I assume they will tear down the neighboring building when they get the new one done.
Thanks for the images hood. I've driven by the site many times and the sign out front says "Opening Spring 2008". It has obviously been pushed back, but it's good to see that there is progress being made. It looks like it will be a mix of retail and office. Do you think that the second floor will primarily be for office or could it just be a facade given that there are no second floor windows in the back?
It says in the listing that it will be a two floor building, but it does not say what will be on the second floor, so I would also assume it will be office. Even though this is a suburban style development with tons of surface parking, I'm really, really glad to see so much redevelopment in the Frandor area, it's once again beconing a high quality regional shopping center. I hope that they eventually change Frandor itself into more of a lifestyle center, with second floors over stores and the reduction or elimination of surface parking.
"They" is anybody, perhaps I should have said "someone." But when I say lifestyle center I want to see second floors on most or all buildings and I want to see the surface parking lots disappear in favor of a combination of retail/office/residential buildings, parking ramps, streets and greenspace.
Lansing Community College is looking in to buying the North Capital Avenue parking ramp from the city to avoid having to build one. If LCC buys the ramp, will the city be pressured in to building another ramp?
