As for those two apartment buildings on Main, I like the project, but do not think it is anywhere near deserving of an NEZ. That is unless he plans some MAJOR improvements. Lmich has a good idea to tear down the Deluxe and the adjacent apartment bui…

I seen it today, it doesen't look that bad, once they put a top and bottom decoration it will probably look much nicer. I think what will mainly make or break it will be the awnings and the windows.

The LSJ artcle said that limestone was to be used on the bottom two floors and all new glass. If the Boji's cheap out their project will fail, plain and simple. Others have made attempts at cheap remodels of the Hollister building and they failed, I…

I noticed they hd scaffolding and plastic up around it the other day. I wonder why they bothered doing a patch if their going to rennovate in spring...

Like I said about other projects, I wish they would just start out with a conservative date, if it comes early, GREAT! Everyone can be pleasantly suprised, if it takes until the announced date or a little after, oh well, at least it doesn't go from …

construction is coming along nicely and I'd have to say it looks a lot bigger than what I expected it too look in person. Here's a screenshot from the webcam:

The only thing I'd like to see is a light rail line that baically traces the Entertainment express route, at least for the first phase. Later I'd like to see light rail expanded north on Washington to Shiawassee, then turn onto Seymour and head up t…

I personally don't like street names to be changed, I see no reason for it at all.

People who like the way things are going don't care enough to go down and speak about it, often they don't have the time to go down there every week either.

Hard to see in the photo's, but over half the foundation is in.

Thats the same impression I got (about the Deluxe), I hope we can see the site redeveloped into some thing decent soon.

I really doubt that the MSP headquarters will be the announcement, that project is still in limbo, whatever the project the announcement is has been relatively solid for some time now. As for the Deluxe, I don't think Cooley dorms would fit well, bu…

A City Pulse story on the MSP headquarters, it helps to explain some of the delays:Resurrected plan may bring state police downtown

I am hoping that they keep the sign on the Ottawa Station when redeveloped, even if they rework it to say "Water & Light District" or "Water & Light Building." Also, in an LSJ article today about the Deluxe Inn it says that Cooley has sho…

Than new sign on the side near michigan looks nice, hopefully Olds Park gets new, more modern signs with its rennovation. Little things like that can really help the overall street scene, and the sign on te Lansing Center could prove to be very valu…

I'd have to say I'm starting to lean towards the performing arts center being the "big" announcement, since I heard the words "finalizing plans" used. To me that implies that some already pretty solid plans are in place. The other possibilities are …

I am hoping the "yes" means that the city is already in talks with Capitol Bancorp about a possible new building downtown... Also, did anyone catch the City Pulse article last week about downtown development in 2006? Specifically it said that "fi…

I love that picture, both for the skyline and the grffiti in the foreground, it makes for a great contrast.

I sent an email to Bob Tresize asking him a few questions about things going on, her it is: My email: " I was wondering if the CIty is actively persuing Capitol Bancorp to stay downtown, there was article in the LSJ today that said they have…

They are continuing to dig a trench around what will be the perimeter of the building and there is rerod in place for some of the footings near Cedar St.
