The first depictions of this project were much better than this current one. I guess these are just to give an idea of a building in that spot because the drawings now show a very unattractive apartment block. I can understand why these revisions th…

I was by this site Sunday and was happy to see that the site preparation work has begun! That is so great to see, for years I have been looking at this site trying to imagine buildings filling up that space. Kind of funny to be excited about seeing …

I was by this building and saw workers covering all the lobby windows with ads depicting the high-end office space they are building. One of the ads was of the front entrance, with a nice looking sign that says "The Louie". This sounds kind of stran…

That is good news, this building is really beautiful and has a very prominent address which should be full and active. Thanks for the information. Has there been a date set for a beginning work first shovel ceremony at the Red Cedar site? It will …

I have noticed there a sidewalk protection scaffold put up around the "Bank of Lansing" building at N. Washington and Michigan Ave again. Is there a renovation going on there? The storefront renovation next door looks nice, I would guess that a law …

One thing I like about this building is that it does not feel or seem as large when walking by as it really is when seen from above. The rooftop parks are also very cool!

I went to the MSU football game Saturday and noticed that there was furniture on some of the balconies in the new building. I really like the way this project turned out. It is really clean and modern and nice to look at. I bet it would be fun to li…

I can often smell marijuana as I drive by on Hosmer. Of course, that does not bother me! I am hoping that when all of these grow operations start producing the prices will fall due to competition. It is actually a medicine that helps a lot of people…

Sounds like an MJ growing operation. There is one already in the big old black building at the corner, so maybe it is something different as they might not want to have two MJ growing farms in one block.

The buildings under renovation are at 814 E Kalamazoo.

Another site that has work ongoing is on E. Kalamazoo across and up from Art's. It is a small complex of buildings where they are digging up a lot of soil and replacing bricks in the former window frames. The house next door is also being remodele…

I think that the Korger building is a newer building. The Topps Department Store was there in the '60s and I believe it was a smaller building. But they could have used it a the core of the new building. I can not remember what was down there in the…

I answered my own question by driving out to take a look. The hotel is rising in the green space depicted in the drawing. It is interesting that they are giving the apartments a more prominent location and view. The Hub and The Landmark look so grea…

So the front building on Grand River at the corner is the residential building, I was thinking this would be the hotel. I'm a little confused as this looks like a different view of the same drawing from Aug. 9. In other words, is this drawing is jus…

Oh yes, Topps now I remember that store sat down there in the same low spot with nothing else around it so it was easy to see when driving by. It had a cool semi-circle roofline over the front.

I noticed the exterior finish was starting to go up as they seemed to have topped out the framing, it fills the space very nicely. The drawings for the building depict a light color, but the stone-faced square bricks I saw them using for the first f…

Thanks for the info.! I was thinking that the Yankee store was where Kroger is today, That was long ago! What a treat to see this dead space go green after 40 or 50 years of blacktop.

They still look huge! I'm not sure if I see the difference between the Sept. 11drawing and this new one.

I am so happy to see this detail from some reason:}!

Is Urban Systems still a thing? I did not see the name mentioned.
