I was looking through CADL's website and found a few more pics: Thoman Mill - SW corner of Grand & Ottawa Michigan Ave bridge, pre 1870's Post 1870's Clarksmobile Plant, 231 S Grand, destroyed in 1906 by fire New Way auto …

I think what happened with this project was likely similar to what happenned to Stadium District. The developer got too excited and announced the plan in it's infancy. It seems that all the other projects announced in Lansing and EL have went throug…

I too wish that more companies like this would move downtown. But at least it will be creating more jobs and it will be a "green" facility.

I went to the State Library and looked up some pics also, but they charge a lot to get good quality scans, so sometime I hope to get to the CADL when their local history section is open. My main goal is still to get pictures of the westside of downt…

And finally the reason why I decided to create this post, I found some great pics of Old Town, before "urban renewal" and the North Lansing fire. These pics are from the I Love Old Town - Gallery. Auto Body works, where Sir Pizza is now. Lan…

Could it be that this project is finally moving along?

Found these items in the upcoming council agenda for EL, as I'm not familiar with the street names, I don't know exactly where it's at. "Introduce and refer to Planning Commission proposed Ordinance 1187; An Ordinance to rezone parcels on Evergr…

A City Pulse story on the project: ‘The city is growing up before our eyes’ Sean Elliott says the building could be as tall as 24 floors, but will "most likely be 20." It also says construction is scheduled to begin in February, and he said that …

I think the third floor is in the back half of the building, at least thats what I assume. I wish they could have added a third floor up front though.

I think that the state may even be open to the idea of giving up some of it's parking lots, I hadn't really given that idea much thought. I think at least the ones south of the state library, maybe the one west of the Cass building could be gotten r…

And if I was in any kind of position to buy a place I would almost definately be trying to get in here. In fact, if there are no more high rise condos built in Lansing over the next five or so years I'll probably end up in this building. Also, I …

I had no idea that the rennovation of these storefronts was as extensive as it is: Nakfoor Putting $1.2 Million Into New Washington Square Lofts They spent $1.2 million on this little project. I also had no idea that they added a third floor. Now…

As for the economy, I know it's bad, but I think that Lansing will weather any reccession quite well. We have a diverse economy and a strong demand for downtown housing. I really like a lot of the things I see with this project. It is going to ha…

I've had problems trying to find old photos of this area, but I still need to look at the CADL's collection of historic photos. Looking at fire maps though, there were quite a few rowhouses, low rise apartments and pretty large houses in the area th…

They look pretty nice, I like the green roof on part of the Parking ramp.

I'm not sure if Gillespie has tenants lined up, but he should be doing a highy quality rennovation since he is able to apply for tax breaks. I wish he would add a second floor though. As for clems, I really like the new facade I just hope that th…

Just a few updates on a couple of small projects: "Zanders Old Town Brewery" They plan on completely remodling the building, and adding a taproom. I don't beleive this is supposed to be like a microbrewery with a resturaunt and everything, thoug…

LSJ story from today: Developer set to build housing near downtown Lansing It says he hopes to begin construction in the spring with phased construction being completed in 2011. I hope he starts with the mixed use building and other structures al…
