That will be an interesting area to watch area as this may signal the developers are ready to build there. I wonder if they might include some resident owned condos or homes rather than all rentals. I found in my brief home search that there are ver…

If you would like to check out a really cool new urban park that might serve as an inspiration for our Riverfront Park check out Little Island Park in New York City. Of course it was financed by very wealthy folks but I could see something "like" th…

The Graduate Hotel has put up a nice new sign on the top floor facing Grand River, it has a stylish script letters, I believe the hotel is close to opening. I like the look of this building and that is stands out from the others in this development.…

When we were looking at apartments at the Newman Lofts were shown one that looked out on this area, I asked about the construction that is visible in this photo behind the hotel as I thought it may be the beginning of the credit union building, the …

I noticed that they are renovating the west façade of the old warehouse/pot grow house on Kalamazoo and Hosmer, and I believe that the building being renovated across from Art's Pub is also a grow house as there are co-2[?] signs above the doors. Th…

Thanks! The building is named after an MSU architectural design professor and I believe that the extra nice design for this building reflects some of his ideas for urban living.

At the Allen Street project on Kalamazoo they are putting up an elevator tower, this project is going to be larger than I was expecting.

Not that my trials of finding a new place are very interesting, but I decided not to be a part of this "white hot" real estate market, houses in the range I wanted to pay that I was looking at were over priced and pretty sad to say the least, most o…

I think that is a good idea to bring up again. Perhaps if the feds were paying for most of any transit project like a BRT or light-rail system the folks in Okemos would not oppose such a project. They are building that new town center out there, it …

I think covering over the downtown below grade section of I-496 would be a great idea it's already below ground level. I am not sure they would remove the freeway all together as in the other cities, I think the freeways that they removed were red…

Thank you, I know I will find something and we can always move into my cabin if we have to!

I wanted to alert anyone here who is renting. Here at the Fountain Place where I have lived for over five years, they recently installed a new manager, she took offence the first week she was here, basically because I asked her to do her job. Long s…

Good to see downtown 496 will be part of these plans.

I agree that the trees often get the "cut first talk later" treatment. I guess that attitude comes from the idea that we have so many trees who it going to miss a few we cut down? Mature trees are so much better for the environment just by the fact…

Today there is an article in the online LSJ about this new traffic rotary. I seems like the are expecting large increases in traffic around the hospital, which I guess will happen. Traffic circles can be safer, but also they can be confusing, and k…

I don't have any drone shots but I was impressed the other day with the look of the new Graduate Hotel. It is looking very nice with light greys and darker brick work and very large windows as it nears completion. I noticed there is a very cool loo…

I look forward to seeing how this will work out. There is room for a whole new neighborhood over there. I have not seen the new tree cuts I guess they may need to change the name of the street from Forest Road. It's always the trees get it first ar…

I like this idea, I have had similar ideas about what to do with that huge area. It would be good to include all of "Frandor" in a new street and sidewalk plan. I could see a "Main Street" going from north to south through the Frandor parking lots u…

This is great news! I really do hope they start over from the ground up at this site. The Sears building had some nice Mid-Century -Modern features but it really is just a '50s version of a big box store surround by a sea of blacktop and most of the…

I believe the council has approved the new Form Based Code this week. It will be interesting to see how the code effects and improves the plans for new developments.
