They are expanding the parking lot to attract an office tenant for the space next to the North Precinct, I think there was a Captiol Gains article about it awhile back.
It's at the entrance to Capital City Airport, just off Grand River Avenue. Peckham already has a giant warehouse at the site and its adding onto that going north toward the airport.
Depending on how you think of the city, you might call that the north or northwest side.
The image Capital Gains is posting shows the site looking to the south/southeast.
I heard it's on hold, possibly dead, which sorta sucks. But more than likely Old Town will still end up with some nice new construction within a few years.
Also, A large "Project Funded by Bank of America" sign is in front of the old YMCA building, I'm guessing an announcement is coming soon.
Odeena isn't the company Townsend is using on the Ottawa property or Kzoo Gateway. My understanding is Odeena was a partnership, and that partnership (which did Printer's Row) isn't doing the other projects.
And given the national economic downturn, housing market situation and credit crunch (which makes financing more expensive and more difficult for developers and homeowners), it doesn't surprise me to see any project slowed down.
North Point is a two floor project in Frandor, I beleive I posted a rendering before, I'll try to find it. It's on the east end of Saginaw in Frandor, just west of Walgreens where the North Point office building is now.
It's really nothing special, but it will contribute to the transformation of Frandor into a higher quality retail area. I see some residential/retail mixed use projects in the future for Frandore, anywhere from 2-3, possibly 4 floors. I really hope that coul happen.
Driving past McGuire Park (by the Jolly/Aurelius intersection) today and I noticed a sign for the River Trail extension from Scott Woods/Hawk Island to McGuire Park. I didn't see much on the sign except that C2AE is the main name that you can see. I've been seeing a lot of activity all winter along Sycamore Creek off Cavanaugh, but this is the first sign that I've seen. Anyone have any more info on it?

I'm not holding my breath, but it seems about time for some big announement(s).
This one is about the new city market: I don’t feel comfortable
This one is about a groups push to turn Knapps into a performing arts center: Performing downtown
