I was on a building site tour[I'm retired so I have the time!}: on my way to the Post Office and was very impressed with the progress here. The buildings are tall and densely situated on the Collins Road side of the development. I believe the build…

Yes, I saw that sign too. The sign on the building was red green and white so just glancing I thought it may be an Italian business like a deli, then I saw what the sign said. It seems like an unusual spot for some sort of investment firm[??] but it…

I heard on local news that they are planning a topping off ceremony today! As they are putting the last steel beam in place. The building really stands high above the tree line and is in view right when you turn off of Harrison. The structure is qui…

I had a wow moment when I drove past this site yesterday! They are really moving a lot of dirt right now, digging out the area for the lake and for the water to flow under the building. I'm feeling like this is going to be a beautiful development if…

The Washington Ave side of the Lake Trust block would be a great place to build a PAC. I would like to see that dead space filled with beautiful buildings as it seems like they are going to develop the Capitol Ave. side first. Grand Avenue would als…

Thank you for posting this, it is always good to have my memory confirmed by the State Journal. When I was a kid I only saw black squirrels at MSU when we would go out to feed the ducks, and in Albion where my Grand Father lived. There were no black…

The outside finish work continues, they are finishing the first floor stone facade and are starting on the upper floors which are being clad in a wood-like siding that looks a little cheap compared with the stone siding used on the first floor. It's…

Starting yesterday workers were pulling up the just recently laid sidewalk at the corner of S. Washington and MalcomeX in front of the wall! I wonder why they are doing that? Also, one of the 3 skinny little trees they planted on S. Washington has …

I was by the "The Wing" building again today and there is definitely demolition work going on inside. The overhead doors were open and there were several dumpsters filled with debris inside.

I'm not super impressed with the design of The Graduate Hotel, but it does look better than the painted stucco siding they have been using for the new outer ring hotels and it is going to be done with light-colored materials so it's going to light u…

There a new depiction of the "600 Block" project a few pages after this one, on the development firm's web site. I like the entry gate next to the tracks. It looks like a billboard has been drawn on the side of the hotel, I am hoping that is just fo…

Parks in the parking lots maybe this a new tread! I like that idea. The park in the parking lot, they are building at the nearby storage facility is looking good with the grass starting to grow, they planted quite a few larger trees which looks nice…

The only change I have noticed on this corner is they recently put "Jersey barriers" in front of the drive off S. Washington to prevent parking. The fireworks and Silver Bells are about the only times I see this lot used for parking, perhaps they wa…

Thanks, I had not noticed the number of apartments, which sounds like a lot considering how many windows there are and the building is almost a square. Maybe workers of the force will only need one window!

I guess this is in REOtown! There has been some activity at the warehouse building/The Wing on Hazel Street. For a couple of days now I have seen people in hard hats going into the building, with a lot of cars parked alongside the building. I could …

There are two construtions sites on this street! They are both just a bit further a long then the photo above. I was by here yesterday just to take a look.

Yea! So good to see this event! I was thinking as well, the reporter misspoke when he said the want to finnish in one year I'm sure it will take at least 24 months. It would be good if they repaved all of E. Kalamazoo to make it a good alternative r…
-
This is interesting, I had not considered that they would have to move the signals and street lights. It is cool to be around to see this change back to two-way streets. I can not remember when they were two-way in the old days so the streets have h…
-
I would think that the apartments could be very large in this building due to its shape creating a large interior space. It is very good news that this building is being renovated, and I am hoping it looks better than the depiction.

I heard today on the 1180-AM radio local news that there will be an official groundbreaking ceremony today at the site! The report also mentioned that the developers were hoping to have it built, in one year. I was surprised to hear that, and that c…
