The Stadium North project is an important one when it comes to utilizing the Cedar/Larch corridor to eventually connect Downtown and Old Town, I hope to eventually see the whole stretch there become urbanized. I'm not going to jump for joy at a coup…

The things I listed, besides maybe the diagonal runway extension, are directly related to and required for the new terminal, I thinks it's safe to say those costs are considered in their projected costs for that project. I'll continue to argue that …

I had forgotten about how extensive their plans for expansion are, they plan on going way past State Rd. It's kind of disappointing to see how little of this plan has been realized as our airport falls further and further behind other cities in the …
-
Yeah, our airport is pretty embarrassing even for a city of our size. Unfortunately that grant is only for $2 million and that won't be enough to do anything of consequence, a new terminal would almost certainly be well over $100 million. There were…

I can only critique what is presented, it would be unwise for a developer to show a conceptual site plan that is inferior to what they actually intend to build. I take them at their word that they intend to build something along the lines of what th…

I guess no privacy fence is a plus but with the massive setback from MLK and the lack of any sidewalks leading up to the doors from MLK I'm going to assume they're just meeting the letter of the zoning code in that regard. I'm just not a fan of this…

To be honest it looks like the kind of project that will leave me thinking "meh" at best or leaving me wish it was still vacant land at worst. Even with a good design and all masonry construction it's still not exciting, it looks like MLK will be se…

I really have no idea what to expect at that site. I could see a couple small apartment buildings with or without ground floor commercial facing MLK and small apartments or townhouses facing the side streets. As always, I'll just be hoping for quali…
-
Oh yeah, they broke ground before then even. All the first floor columns to the hotels are done and they're working on three elevator cores/stairwells, one of which is probably up to the 4th or 5th floor. Speaking of construction, I was by the bu…

Gillespie just broke ground on a 60k sq ft medical office building next to the new Mclaren Hospital. I don't see any news articles but he posted it to his Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/GillespieGroup

A couple things from MSU today: They announced planning has officially begun for a new IM West replacement that will be built south of Shaw between Birch and Harrison. They have no cost estimates as of now and they expect planning to take about a ye…

Yeah, when they built the Delta Plant they always said they had enough land to build another assembly plant, then there was the talk from Hollister a few years ago about another plant finally going out there and it finally brings us here. Now the ba…

City Pulse has an article with a bit more info on the proposal. The building would be 2.5 million square feet on 590 acres adjacent to the Delta Township plant, they're proposing 1700 permanent jobs and 1000 construction jobs. https://www.lansing…

I was looking at the 224 S Washington (former club X-cel) OPRA and they are planning a $400k renovation to make it into an entertainment space able to host up to 600 people. The most recent development and planning agenda has a little more on it but…
-
@Lymon89 Yeah, when I was looking into the concept it looked like it was a local guy behind it and he's been at for awhile. It looks like he now has the backing of a well known multi-millionaire baseball player so at least this one iteration of it l…

@Lymon89 Was that the student greenhouse project or the baseball thing?

Something called Strikeout Baseball is coming to Ferris Park courtesy of a local baseball player, John Smoltz. https://www.fox47news.com/neighborhoods/downtown-old-town-reo-town/john-smoltz-strikeout-baseball-stadium-coming-to-ferris-park-in-lans…

No arguments here, that building will get no love from me. I do hope the site is reserved for something more than a 4-5 floor wood frame apartment building though. I don't hate the concept for an entertainment venue along the lines of this or the De…

I just wanted to share a pretty good YouTube channel I found a few months ago that keeps up on all the developments in Detroit for anyone interested. The Gordie Howe Bridge's towers are probably over 2/3 done, the new high rise (2nd tallest in Detro…

@MichMatters I didn't remember all that, it makes more sense now. I tend to agree on the timeline for the shuffleboard place, unless they do something really unique there I don't see how they survive. I could possibly see it working if they had dive…
