Ope, you're right. The FCB district will only cover two blocks worth of the historic district, the stuff fronting Kedzie and Orchard. This area was in the original incorporated limits (1907) of the city; it was called the Fairview subdivision and ha…

Kind of funny they are just testing it. I kind of want to criticize them being so careful, but Lansing FBC was delayed for quite a few years. But, when we did it, we just did it. Anyway, this is interesting, particularly since this is probably pa…

Is this a replacement building for one of the existing IM buildings? Where's the link to the specs?

Hood, got curious and looked up the PO Box, and...yep, they are behind this AND it appears the shell company for the old apartment building/commercial building is them, too. It's interesting, because they are currently involved with the renovation o…

Noticed the three remaining old houses at and near the northwest corner of Saginaw and Penn are being deconstructed. Sad to see them go, as they appear to have been built between 1900 and 1925, but they were in poor repair. Anyway, looks like the ow…

It's not just GM by a long shot. Anything factory/industry/logistics-related have done the bare minimum in terms of design. I've accepted it. And, Delta Twp has pretty much that entire area zoned for where they want industrial use in the twp, so at …

An Amazon distribution center is going up across from Meijer's distribution center. I think they actually had to halt construction - or was it delayed? - for awhile.

Anyone know what's been going on at the Farm Bureau Insurance headquarters on West Saginaw which is basically across the street from Horrock's? I was over that way last week and saw they had some kind of fencing around the perimeter of the site, and…

The old Hallmark store on the 200 south block - in between Dominos and the new music venue - is still empty, correct?
-
Was looking through the LEDC's minutes for their Oct meeting, and there were quite a few updates. The renovation of the old club on the south 200 block of Washington (next door to the Dominos/old Hallmark store) is apparently well under renovation. …

Symbolically, I'm not happy one bit about it; i's kind of embarrassing. But if it means better care, that will be what matters most. But I'm still so disappointed with how much MSU has turned its back on its own region on a whole host of fronts when…

New rendering for Stadium North Lofts in the LSJ, tonight: The developer was to close on the sale of the land, today.

The bridge project was actually part of a major CSO project, and wouldn't have happened to that degree with out it. So, I'm kind of happy it happened when it happened. lol And old sewer goes under the river, there, and they had to do heavy construct…

For anyone unfamiliar with the location: The county land bank (which owns the site) has been for some years has been marketing the site with help from the state. They'd always marketed it for multi-story use (4-stories), though not quite this…

It'd really be nice to see the city, county and state start formal planning on something like this. It would be years after before they could probably nail down funding for something like this, but it should definitely be in like the jurisdictions' …

Looks like the Board of Zoning Appeals unanimously approved the proposed 10 story apartment building proposal at the old bottling plant just west of the Turner Dodge property. Kind of surprised by how open they all were to something that is admitted…

Yeah, I'm still not understanding. How far would this Homer separation go? Up to Saginaw or to right before the offramp with intersection with Homer? I guess that the only other solution is that you simply take out Homer south of the intersection to…
-
I don't understand what you're saying. A lot of the issue is with cars coming off the freeway onto Homer trying to make a right at Saginaw. The only way you separate that from local traffic is to prevent that right turn at Saginaw, and the only way …

Was kind of surprised how visible the Deluxe Inn site redevelopment and City View were coming up Washington, today. Even with just that little bit of development, it makes the 496 gap seem smaller than it actually is. I guess I hadn't realized how s…
