I think that property is where the largest and oldest of the Boys Training School buildings were, it could still be publicly owned. If it is in private hands it could make for a nice albeit small neighborhood style development.

The LSD does have online agenda packets: 1/21/2016 school board agenda packet This image is from page 13 of the purchase agreement, the district is retaining parcel E. The portion of land you're talking about south of Orchard St isn't outlined in…

City Pulse has article on this project: New Lease

Up until now there was discussion of saving at least part of Eastern. I see no reason why at minimum the Pennsylvania facade couldn't be saved, call it an added cost of acquiring the property. There was also discussion before about retaining the fie…

I'm very disappointed that they plan to raze Eastern. I believe a condition of the sale should be the preservation of at least the part of the building that fronts Pennsylvania. If Sparrow buys this property, razes Eastern and builds something insig…

Virtually all the small buildings on the site were demolished a few years ago (check out Google Maps to see what's left, imagery is up to date for this area). The Mid Michigan Leadership Academy has the building directly south of the administration …

It's been a long time coming, but apparently we'll get some details on the plans for the school for the blind property today: Lansing Mayor Virg Benero deliberates on restoring the old Michigan School for the Blind building

I was under the impression that that place was just a call center, is that not the case?

@cliffordzang I haven't been over that way much lately, but I'll definitely look when I make it by there. It would be really nice to see that building reused or at least demolished. I just can't imagine what good the building would be for anything b…

I'm very curious to see what they come up with for the Temple Building and when it will happen. I've heard good things about all their places so hopefully they'll continue to impress.

I just hate the office building on the corner in the new design. It's essentially the same as the two office buildings to the north of it, just a more modern design. Having a two floor building on that corner would be bad enough, having it be single…

If you're saying that the office and loft buildings are both part of this proposal, then yes that's what I gather also. I still don't like the office building, neither in it's scale, location or design; at bare minimum it needs storefronts on the…

It looks like the apartment building pictured in the rendering of that Washington & St Joe office building is a real proposal after all: South Edge Lofts It's the building to the left in this rendering:

Can't say as though I'm surprised here, I think this developer bit off a little more than they can chew. I also agree that I won't miss this proposal. It would have been great in the sense that it would add a lot units to the downtown housing market…

Thanks for keeping us updated with the pictures. It reminds me that I really need to get out and take pictures myself like I used to... Work here seems to be moving quick, I still find it odd that they're simultaneously drilling the foundation fo…

Things seem to be looking up for 1600 block of Kalamazoo, the Allen St Farmers Market seems poised to continue expanding and improving while their presence also makes other business more willing to set up nearby. It seems like I remember other good …

BRT has been pushed back to some point after 2018, right? If that's the case then there's no way they can wait to repave it. I'd think the best thing to do would be large properly done patches over the worst parts of the road, like they did on Mt Ho…

I've been surprised to see how slow the work is on The Outfield, I wonder what's taking so long? The article is a little misleading, Capital City Homebrew is moving into the Stadium District area, not the actual building. It says they'll be at 62…

MichMatters was able to find the height of Skyvue in the planning documents a couple pages back in this thread. The main roof parapet wall will rise to 106', the highest point of the roof will be 125'. So the height of the main roof will only be 4' …

Yeah, it will look very out of place, at least for awhile. I've been trying to picture how tall it will be compared to the Sears water tower, I'm thinking they'll be pretty close in height.
