While I would truely love to debate politics and unions, but like jswrites said this just isn't the place.
-
I'm sure they could have saved some money by not restricting themselves to union labor. I personally have never supported the union attitude that they are always the better choice. I think free market is always best, and the government shouldn't fee…

I think they did a pretty good job on that building, I can't wait to see what type of businesses move in. Hopefully the ground floor will be retail or restaurant.
-
Lancity, you make a good point. I had almost forgotten about the river being behind there. I've been skeptical of REOtown in the past, but things are shaping up for it to rival Old Town. With the Deluxe Inn, Southtown, Cadillac Club and Discount Dav…

There was a story in Capital Gains a few months ago about someone turning it into another club, but I guess that plan must have fell through. I think that a bar/restraunt would still be the best business for the area.

They've been slowly working on the Michigan Electric building for quite awhile now. They just started putting the windows in on the upper floors within the past week or two. I really hope they can get a retail business on there as opposed to just of…

I know this is kind of random to bring up but I was curious what other peoples thoughts are. Does anyone else expect a project or two to be announced in the next couple weeks? With the elections coming up I would expect Bernero to have something up …

Has anyone heard when they will announce which project(s) are getting the bond money?
-
I'm not too sure about condos either, I would imagine that this development would be better for student oriented housing and some middle to high end apartments. It's hard to say how well the residential portion of this project will go, although I'm …
-
I don't think this development will have much of an affect on any of our urban centers. It will probably have much more of an impact on the malls and the suburban retail corridors.
-
I've been expecting to hearsome official word on a new Eastwood development for awhile. I'm fairly confident that this project will happen, even if it may be awhile before we see it get underway.

Pictures from last weekend:

It seems like we often end up talking about Grand Ave's potential. The west side of the street from Kalamazoo to Michigan is basically a blank slate, with no buildings worth saving. The east side is occupied, but besides Grand Tower most of the land…

This was in Saturday's LSJ, I just haven't been able to post the link since: Developer buys former dental site Sounds like it may be a good plan, it's small news, I know, but at least the building won't be left vacant.
-
I'm hardly pessimistic myself. I think given the state of things, especially the economy, Lansing is doing extremely well. I still expect this project to happen in some form, and if it doesn't then I'm sure another will come along. Look at whats hap…
-
I noticed the same bracing, but the lack of windows is not what I'm worried about. From what I can tell there will be plenty of windows on the building, and perhaps some other ornamentation on the facade.
-
I'm a little disappointed that the kitchen and pavilion were dropped from the plans, but if the Market proves viable, it's fairly likely that those will be added at a later date, along with an expansion. If the market does not succeed then I guess w…
-
Just to clarify my point of view, I like the idea of a new market and I like the size and shape of the new design. To me the only real disappointment is the facade. That being said I'm trying to hold off judgement until I see the finished product be…
-
The renderings certainly do make it look that way. If that does turn out to be the facade it will be pitiful, lets hope for the best, even if it's a partial brick facade.
-
I have a bad feeling that the corrugated metal is the facade. Looking at how it's colored different to bottom would suggest that. That being said I really, really hope that I'm wrong. As for the pavilion, that will be easy enough to build at a la…
