I'm curious about this too. I'm really hoping to see a building go up along Cedar sooner rather than later.

I wouldn't be surprised to see demolition start anytime, they said to expect a fall groundbreaking. I am surprised we haven't seen anything come before Council yet though.

Kris Elliott has bought the PNC bank building on Michigan to turn it into a brewpub: While Gillespie has bought the entire south side of the 2000 block of Michigan, including the Emil's building. Eastside up swing

I'd just rather see them redo the facade all the way around, maybe blending it in with a larger addition. Adding a tacked on annex that looks like that to a building like Breslin just doesn't work for me. They're going to have to do a much better jo…

I'm not sure how I feel about that big addition tacked on the side of the building, it looks awkward in the renderings.

I would agree that Midtown would be great name for the area, if only it wasn't already the very recognizable name for Detroit's second downtown.

I would hope that this would give Ferguson's investors a sign that there's a serious market here for that type of stuff. I'd also agree this adds to the value of the Sawyer's site, but it would make a small development there all the more disappointi…

I would agree the area needs a name, I always called it Frandor. Red Cedar Neighborhood seems a little long winded, Frandor doesn't sound very good to me, I'm not sure what a good name would be. Whatever it's named, I don't think it should just be p…

Jared moved this project to its own thread btw, and on a side note I agree that we should be making more individual threads to make it easier to sort through discussions. To reply to MichMatters though, I do agree that this is grossly out of prop…

A new project announced for the Story Olds site: New development planned for Michigan Ave Michigan Avenue corridor gets major addition It will be nine floors, 667k sq ft and have 359 apartments along with commercial space. It says it will …

At $1.5 million to renovate 7k sq ft, it should be a pretty nice place.

I wouldn't suspect it'd GM either, but this could be part of their $4.5 billion of investments they'll announce later in the year. I'd personally hope for a foreign automaker to diversify a little bit.
-
As for Costco and Ikea, I'd love to see them in the area but I'd be disappointed to see them on the far west side. The site of the old Waverly Golf Course might not be bad though. Regarding the announcement about the GM sites, a 2 million square …
-
Meh is exactly my thought. $520 million on equipment is all well and good, but I doubt it really means much for the area other than that GM probably isn't leaving in the near future.
-
I'm anxious to hear what this is. They're making it sound as if it's something quite a bit bigger than any of the recent announcements. Bernero's quoted as sayings GM's "doubling down" on Lansing. It almost lends hope to another plant altogether out…

My first guess would also be a fast food place, but I don't know what else we could expect to go on Cedar St. Maybe another place from down the street getting a new building or one of the new-to-town chains setting up on the southside. I'm really gl…

I'm pretty sure it'd be a simple majority. I'm glad to see them making this common sense change as requiring a supermajority for something so unimportant seems silly.
-
At least it's the nicest design yet. It doesn't look there's any lap siding in these renderings and the colored areas may actually be tile, it looks like there's good quality materials all around.

LSJ is a little late, WILX had this back in January: Sparrow unveils plans for new cafeteria. The LSJ story does have more info though, like the square footage and a completion date. I'd be surprised if they kept the basement cafeteria around aft…

Seeing that field at Ferris Park put to any productive use will be nice, I really wish they'd rebuild that block of Chestnut Street though. It's also good to see the Capitol being maintained. I'm still anxious to see what happens with the welcome…
