Very cool building very industrial location seems like they will be big apartments. Not my idea of a good spot for apartments but there must be a market for this or they would not be renovating this building. It is amazing the detail and design for a substation, I wish they would have built a whole building like this for REOtown.
I noticed those like 3 days before they sold. I think it was like 65k. The site cleanup is probably no joke. Not a great location, but close to old town and it could look great. I think it's open right now, no second floor. You could do like three vaulted ceiling condos with half floors on the top and it'd look great.
Wow! What a cool project! This is the kind of thing that will make Lansing unique. Definitely a gorgeous building. I don't quite understand how the basement unit will be feasible?
I would say that this stretches Old Town's reach further northwest than it has ever been. To me it feels like Old Town goes out to the little breakfast restaurant on the north side, Zoobies to the east, Oakland to the south, and all the way out to School or the Blind to the west (I think this is a really exciting connection/expansion that has been happening slowly and organically over the last ten years).
I agree it's not a good spot for apartments but there's probably potential for some really cool spaces. If they do things right I would think they could get five people to live there without too much trouble.
It may be just a change in a company name but I noticed new for sale signs on the REOtown sign lot at M.X. and S. Washington. There have been for sale signs there all along while they have been working on the hotel and apartments planned for this spot I was wondering if these news signs meant any changes in the project.
Thank you, I guess that is why I see the for sale signs in place for other spots that are going to be developed. I have been wondering about that. I promise to post on the right page!
I was not saying you are those things. I was using a "little" humor:} I know we have a different pages for ease of finding information that we are interested in. I really do appreciate all the posts here and the posters!

I believe the sign changed due to Martin Company no longer being affiliated with CBRE (Coldwell Banker). New logo = new signs.
Thank you that is what I was thinking, but I wonder why they still have for sale signs if Urban Systems already owns this lot?
