It's great to see this little strip get some attention. I was really glad when the Eastside Party Store closed, I was only in there a couple times and the shelves were practically empty, the only things they seemed interested in selling were alcohol…

It's good to see this project progressing so quickly, it looks like those are two elevator towers that are already above ground. I'd imagine they have to be getting close to done with the footings since they've been drilling them since demolition be…

Marshall St is on the left, the field runs parallel to it, the taller part of the school in the foreground looks like a future addition. BTW I was using the two floor section with sloping roof lines to orient myself with the satellite view.

@gbinlansing CSO stands for Combined Sewer Overflow, there's a detailed overview of what it was here: The CSO Story. If I remember right it was halted because federal mandates were changed so they needed a new program to meet the new mandate (I thin…

They need to finish the south Washington streetscaping, it was supposed to be done now. I don't understand why stopping the CSO project meant stopping the streetscaping project.

I wouldn't say what we see here is what we get. The apartment building will likely either get built or not get built, but the listing for the office building still says "build to suit," so there's certainly a chance that we could get something diffe…

The bodies/chassis (which are the same piece in modern unibody cars), were built at Verlinden and then shipped to Plant 1 for final assembly. I'm not sure specifically what the building west of MLK was used for, but I think it was either where the b…

I think the size of the apartment building here is fine, although I do wonder why of all the possible locations downtown they would build apartments here, facing the freeway. As I said before, I hate the two floor office building on the corner, I ha…

There's an item in this weeks city council packet setting a public hearing for a PILOT tax incentive for the Saboury Building at 1113 N Washington. This was proposed quite awhile ago and I thought it was dead, here's a rendering of the initial propo…

The brownfield packet for South Edge Lofts is in this weeks city council meeting packet, it includes new rendering and a site plans/floor plans: The biggest difference I notice is that the new renderings have an uglier top floor. Wher…

@MJ I'm always glad to see an out of town developer come into the area, especially when they're taking on what I imagine is a challenging project. Hopefully they'll find some other properties here that interest them. @gbinlansing I'd be almost sh…

For whatever reason the mobile version of the article has this new rendering where the desktop doesn't. It's higher quality than previous ones and show that the eastern wing of the building will only be 8 floors.

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?
