Yeah, it is replacing IM west. I don't know if I've ever seen square footage or dollar figures although they may have been in a news story at some point, I've posted several iterations of renderings courtesy of the MSU IPF page. Here's a link to the…

EL is considering making part of the Bailey Neighborhood a testbed for a new form-based code. It certainly sounds like a positive to me, I've long hoped to see EL be a little more friendly to redevelopment of some the student oriented single family …

There's now start a start date for the new MSU IM building of September 2023 and an estimated completion of early 2026, along with a new rendering: There's also still a few other significant projects in the pipeline with no renderings or specif…

@citykid To repeat Jared, Welcome. Thanks for the info. I like the things Hepler has done, I just wish he did more. IMO the delay in the proposals for the Prudden parking lots may not be so bad anyhow, I was always hoping to see it split into a c…

Good to know. Hopefully he moves a little quicker with these properties than he has with the revolving proposals for his parking lots.
-
That's a positive sign, I think that commercial building directly to the west was for sale recently as well. I wonder if Hepler is involved?

One way to fix that exit would be to route the Saginaw exit diagonally under Homer to come up on its right side for the turn at Saginaw. Certainly not a cheap undertaking but I feel something like that will necessary some day.

I'm very, very glad to hear of that approval. If that building happens and is close to what was shown in the renderings I think it will be a huge boon for that area.

@Lymon89 I saw the same thing. I also had basketball court as my first guess and had the came complaint that they're putting too much in what is supposed to be a more formal urban park. I get the park is underutilized and maybe some of this is ne…

I saw that, it has the potential to be something really significant. I'm hoping for something non-automotive though. Aerospace, pharmaceutical, renewable energy or chip manufacturing would be nice to see.

I'm somewhat of a preservationist and I'd argue none of the houses on that stretch of Willow are worthy of preservation besides the Head Start building. That being said I'd prefer to see mid or high rises here and not small apartment buildings, hope…

Yeah, I don't necessarily expect the Consumers site be redeveloped too quickly without a concerted effort on the city's part. I imagine whoever develops the property will probably want to buy the apartments in front there and tear them down. I al…

I'm not mad at all to see that Consumers Facility move off of Willow. It may not be great in the short term as you lose the extra workers in the area but it offers a really significant redevelopment opportunity that could help change the fate of tha…

I agree that neither of this are terribly exciting. Regarding the project on Michigan, if a company wants to reuse a building like that for the HQ that's fine and all but it's probably not worthy of property tax credits. I think property tax credits…

I'm hoping the Michigan & Marshall thing ends up being another apartment/mixed-use building, it'd seem pretty logical. Both properties are owned by Michigan Certified Development Corp on Coolidge Rd, but that doesn't provide much insight. I m…

Yeah, nice to see those pics. Not a lot too special in the building but the old generator hall seems like a nice even if relatively plain space.
-
I do hope they offer some tours of the building when it shuts down, I'll have to force myself to not miss the opportunity if so. All the above being said, I really do believe that a large scale entertainment complex, in particular a large and wel…

Yeah, after looking into it a bit more it looks like the existing Neogen management will be taking the lead in this venture despite being the minority shareholder. I'm still wondering if Neogen is the company that Gillespie spoke of wanting to possi…

Not entirely unexpected, someone from the county was quoted saying they were going to attempt an expedited appeal. We'll see, I guess.
