That's good to hear, I wonder what building they're going into. With all those renovated storefronts (and likely more to come) I expect to see REO Town gain several new businesses in the near future.

I had forgot that the public hearing for 616 S Washington was back on July 28th, there were a few details on what's proposed in the meeting packet. I figured it'd be easiest just to copy this paragraph: "The property to be rezoned is located at t…

I'd agree with that also, but I was more talking about new parks and plazas, along with improving existing parks. There's no point in putting a sculpture in the middle of grass field in a little used park. You have to do other landscaping, build pat…

It doesn't sound like a bad idea, but I hope the money can also be used to buy and/or improve the parks and plazas that the art will go in. In Lansing at least, they should really create better spaces for art before they go spending too much money o…

I really want to believe that they'll either find a use for the Dyslexia Institutes house or they'll move it. I can't imagine a sane person tearing it down.

I would've never known about it except that my parents mentioned it before. This reminds me that I've always wanted to go back there and check it out. In trying to find something on that bridge I found Potter Park's master plan.

I've seen those wood steps before, I'm pretty sure I went down there, maybe by a different set of steps though. I also liked checking out some of the old foundations sticking out from the bank, especially the one or two behind the On the Grand rowho…

Hopefully the lack of a riverwalk on the west side of the river will not be permanent. I'm hoping they restore it from Michigan to Kalamazoo whenever the next project goes up along that side of the river.

I've imagined that this area would be great to see an assortment of rowhouses and low rise apartment buildings similar to Penfil along Eighth, Hosmer, Eureka and Prospect while sticking to mixed use buildings along the main streets. I'd also really …

The Penfil Apartments are featured in City Pulse's Eyesore of the week, in the article they mention that the owners say the building will be reopened by October as the Avenue Apartments. October would seem a little optimistic for completion, but it'…

Another auto parts supplier relocating to the area: Grand Rapids-area auto supplier plans $66M parts plant in Clinton County It's always great to see another company relocate to the area, especially as this will be a fairly large supplier for the…

I'd also be strongly against any new buildings on the Capitol grounds, but I also support doing away with all parking on the grounds. I agree on the point of adding benches around the grounds to help it function better as a park, but I'd also note t…

I may have mentioned it here before, but I really think that something big has to happen before downtown has chance at attracting national retailers. The only way I can think to boost downtown retail is to build an urban mall. Something around 4-8 f…

I hope that the expansion on Larch St will match with the area, the last thing we need is another pole barn or similarly low quality building. Also, now would be a good time to reiterate how nice it would be if they had storefront there, a part of m…

Regarding Crego, I heard about the grants and the plans, but I don't remember ever hearing anything about an opening date. I'm wondering how long it's already been open. It is disappointing to hear that they plan exclusively industrial redevelopm…

The City Pulse has an article about Crego Park this week, Welcome back, Crego I didn't even know Crego Park had already opened, did anyone else hear about it?
-
I can only find the listing through a Google search and not through Loopnet or CBRE directly, how did you find it? On another note, I noticed that Lansing Towers is for sale, I hope any new owner looks into a major overhaul there.
-
This is a rendering from Studio Intrigue's homepage, any idea what it is of?
-
That's promising, let this be the catalyst for the joining of downtown and REO Town. I think you're right about parking being a major limitation for this property, it'll be interesting to see what they have planned.
-
Any idea what concerns are being addressed or just the usual NIMBY stuff? I was actually really happy with the look and scale of the building, I'm a bit unsure about spanning the street, but they seem pretty set on that aspect of it.
