It is interesting that they kept it, as it usually pencils out that it's easier to demolish and rebuild and renovate. It must have been kept in good shape. The way they did the lot splits is also interesting and makes me wonder if they are going to …

EPRE was what I mentioned back in January as being shell companies for Hepler, so I think all of those and related names are his properties. But it's weird, because some of the Land Bank and shell companies appear in different colors. I thought mayb…

While they do mention it's still very early in the process, kind of wish they'd have at least labeled what the colors on this ownership map mean? Because, I'm not sure it matches up with the later preliminary site plan. I'm guessing red is other own…

This includes MANY more properties than I originally assumed, and we're talking 240 units, and increases the density beyond what exists at the proposed site. So, right off the bat, I'm pretty excited. My only concern is whether they eventually plan …

Sounds like quite a bit more independence than is typical with these kind of takeovers.

Was reading through the Michigan Avenue Corridor Improvement Authority's meeting minutes from last month, and it's mentioned in passing that Sparrow is looking to do something "green"-related with the Goodyear site, and that the purchase by Michigan…

Oh, wait, is that why they are building the bridge? Didn't even think about that. This wouldn't be a temporary bridge, then, would it?
-
There doesn't appear to be any significant amount of tree removal for this save to put in the pedestrian bridge, which would be necessary: What I'm confused about is whether this the pedestrian bridge is a replacement of the existing bridge t…

Yes, the lot across the street is, indeed, a paid-lot. Rates are generally cheap; one should not expect free parking in a downtown area. But, the issue I described wasn't an really about free vs. pay, but signage and education about the new-ish s…

Went yesterday and tried the Thai restaurant. Very good, and different than Thai Village or the Bangkok House, which are blocks from each other, so this is a nice additional option. It's already pretty popular, which makes parking a problem if you'r…

It can't be. They aren't going to clean any of those sites up to that degree, and aren't zoned nor being marketed for anything but industrial/logistics use. These are going to be everything but residential. In any case, I'm curious how much of the s…

A broken record on this, but I'm just confused why this can't go in all of the existing and empty idustrial sites (RACER) we have within the urban area, instead of another huge greenfield project in a township that doesn't really want it. Imagine th…

My mom called them to inquire about the restaurants, today, so she's looking to drop by. She was taken a bit aback by the prices of the meals she's looking to try, but I guess that's everywhere at the moment. But for her to remark on them tells me t…

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.
