  • WLNS reported that firefighters were demolishing some of the sidewalls in an effort to save what parts of the building they can. If they can save the facade, keeping it in a repairable state, I'de be happy. It turns out the owner of ACD.net is the o…
  • Thats really too bad, I mean REALLY too bad. Even in this building's severely dilapidated state it could have been nice, and this building was one of the few remaining decent sized warehouse/industrial buildings left in Lansing. Most of the others h…
  • The old cold storage warehouse has had a mjaor fire this morning, it was proposed to be rennovated into an artist colony: Warehouse fire shuts down Kalamazoo Street There is no word yet on how extensive the damage is, however, I would think that…
  • I like it too, the real test will be how good they can get the existing brick and cornice to look and if they can even out the facade where it sags.
  • I doubt any memorial would look right in front of city hall, unless it had the look of a modern sculpture. I think one of the downtown parks would be a better fit, perhaps Riverfront park, definately not Durant or Ruetter park though, as they are we…
  • Thats what I thought when I first seen them digging, but when I looked at the size and depth of the hole it didn't seem to make much sense. Especially given the size, the hole exxtends from roughly as far back as the building is supposed to go nearl…
  • They are now excavating on the Larch side of the site. It looks like they may dig a hole the size of the entire building footprint, it appears they are going pretty deep too, maybe 15-20 feet. Has anyone heard if there will be a basement or undergro…
  • I don't know how they can afford to sell three floor condos in the $200's, three floor condos would be considered pretty high-end, I would expect them to be $400k+.
  • Thats one think thats for sure, in my emails to John Truscott he hints that there are several tenants lined up. I can't wait to see what the building will look like.
  • The big new thing for me is the conversion of that other building, that would make the price tage of this project more understandable. The three story townhouses in the "tower" part have been part of the plan since the details were first released.
  • "Majority's equipment could be moved into a redeveloped Hollister Building, at Washington Square and Allegan Street, where a new restaurant is likely to open next year." That implies to me that another resturaunt is going to open in the Hollister…
  • It sounds to me that a resturaunt will be moving into Hollister, unrelated to Majority, and they are considering moving Majority there in additon to the other resturaunt. Their other option seems to be is to close and forget about Majority all toget…
  • From yesterday's LSJ Business Briefs: Vlahakis brokers Clippert deal The former Frandor Printing site at 543 Clippert St. has been sold. Vlahakis Commercial brokered the sale. The building is on about one-third of an acre. Vlahakis said the si…
  • I haven't been by there in ahwile, any updates on how the construction is coming?
  • The ninth floor has been complete for about two weeks now, just as of monday or tuesday they started putting up the tenth and final floor which will be steel instead of cement. I'd say given that the top will be steel it should take shape fast, no m…
  • They are now working on the top floor, it is going to topped out in steel.
  • From my understanding, only the MSU Museum was to move into Museum Place and Kresge is the only museum involved in this project.
  • I think the idea of building a new Kresge Art Museum along Grand river would be great, I can't wait until they have more details and renderings of the project!
  • Sent another email to John Truscott asking if there were any details such as renderings and floorplans for the Hollister building rennovation and if there were any plans for the 5/3 building. He said that they would be releasing more info on Hollist…
  • In next weeks council meeting the approval for the RiverNorth brownfield will be considered, this shuld be where we learn more, as long as the council members ask questions regarding the project as they usually do. I emailed the punlic relations …
