Providing decent housing over there is a nice idea, but I find it hard to believe it would work out. lolwut? Anything at that site will have to include residential, particularly as retail and commercial uses are a shrinking part of the market…

With the city filing suit to force the owners of Logan Square at MLK and Holmes into receivership, I was curious about what you guys would do to this property were the city ever able to get its hands on it? The center has about 278,000 sq ft of s…

I was pleasantly surprised when I've been passing this within the last week or so that there is actual brick being added as part of the facade, and not the cheap, pre-cast fau-brick. They are actually applying individual bricks, which is a bit of su…

Ah, the page for this on their website says the actual bridge will be reconstructed in 2024. I guess they are doing it this way to minimize the disruption during much of the school year.

You must be talking about D&P Commitee agenda, which is what I got the info from; I don't see any upcoming planning commission agendas out yet. That's what I figured for the new development, that they'd be requesting an NEZ or brownfield or b…

Yeah, I messed up with that. An OPRA is, of course, a rehab project. In any case, I would expect them to come to the city for something with this project, eventually. Developers don't leave tax credits and such on the table. I'm still confused ab…

It's the site prep stage, so they haven't needed to ask for much of anything for that, at least nothing that needed to go through council. Rezoning already happened. Now they are working on the new OPRA as I spoke about above.

I'd posted a graphic of Pointe West a few pages back, but I forgot where I got the image from. I can only imagine it was from a council agenda, as that's what's publicly available. But I could find it in any of the agendas. But the search and functi…

The huge development at Motor Wheels seems to be doing site prep. The old houses at or near the corner of Penn and Saginaw have been torn down. Edit: Went back through the council agendas to see if I could find what I'd originally found on West P…

Planning Commission for tomorrow has a planned development review for the Howard & Michigan development. As usual though, we don't know what this is because the township does not post agenda packets online.

It's been fascinating and frustrating to learn how MSHDA and banks work against urban development. I'd really like to see some documentation on MSHDA requirements so we can write our legislators or the administration to get these silly and unproduct…

Not sure why those facebook photos aren't showing up. Anyway, Hood, you were right; I got it confirmed today by the infrastructure department that the ped bridge next to Farm Lane will be permanent, even though there will be sidewalks on the complet…

I'm confused. I thought this was all one project (220). Where would this be relative to the other one?

Wait, what do you mean by second building for the Cherry Hill project?
-
Not exactly sure how this works, maybe citykid remembers more of this, but Hepler is requesting the revocation of his OPRA ceritificate for the property up on May Street. I guess it's because the scope of the project is changing from office space to…

Update on Cherry Hill development: Lansing Housing Commission gets federal tax credit for proposed downtown apartments THURSDAY, Aug. 10 — The state of Michigan has awarded the Lansing Housing Commission a $1.497 million tax credit toward a p…

Healthcare news: MSU closes on deal to purchase Meridian Twp. property for MSU Health Care The university has closed on a deal to buy a 13-acre property in Meridian Township that contains two buildings used by MSU Health Care. The two …

I really enjoy Old Bag of Nail over at Red Cedar Renaissance. It's going to be so cool to see the water flowing when the drain project is completed later this year.

We keep calling it a tunnel, but that would essentially be a skywalk, which wouldn't be the worst thing. The problem is not that it's a tunnel, it's that it's a whole damn parking garage built over the street. We literally just corrected that mistak…
