Missed this. Kind of disappointed to hear that the southwest corner of Capitol and Shiawassee is going to become a parking ramp when there is literally a city ramp right across the street. But I (begrudingly) accept that it's better than a surface…

On the planning board agenda this week is the rezoning of the old Kmart on South Cedar for a self-storage facility. This has been brought up a number of times since last year, but it seems they've finally addressed the concerns of the board, so the…

Ah, so that's what it is, a LARA office. It uses nice materials and has a nice black fence around the constructed building. Yeah, the second building - which is being built directly to the south - looks like it'll be of similar design. I'd alway…

QD has done a lot of messing up in the past few years. The same family still owns it, but they've gone through a few CEO's who seem to want to try and take it in a different direction instead of simply improving what they have. They outsourced the…

The city posted this throwback thursday this week, and it's very interesting to me: This is Kalamazoo looking east up the hill right outside downtown. The old warehouse on the right is the existing one on the top of the hill, and I believe the i…

Yes, it's going to be a provisioning center. The building permit goes out until June.

I'm also not impressed considering what we were going to get at that corner before. They mention a drive-thru, so it's definitely going to be some cookie suburban design at one of the major entrances to downtown. What makes me even more concerned …

On my post dated August 11 a page back I talked of an LSJ article saying that they hoped to have the buildings demolished by the end of the year. They weren't ever planning construction this year.

I can't tell what's going on at the old Rum Runners building across the street, but it looks like at least part of it will be a deck and a corner of it will be enclosed. Whatever it is is substantial. The owner was originally going to have a small…

Some updates. First a new rendering, which I'm not sure looks as visually interesting as the previous. But this is one that I'm thinking will definitely end up looking better than the rendering(s): https://twitter.com/GillespieGrp/status/12…

I'd brought this up months ago, but it looks like it was announced, today: The shuttered Lansing elementary school that Malcolm X once attended could be redeveloped LANSING — Developers have announced plans for a project at the site of a shut…

The original Bigby on West Grand River is shutting down soon for its move across the street to the 300 Grand building. DTN owns both the original location and the new building. No word on what DTN has planned for the original building site, but th…

Here it was I imagine soon after it was built courtesy a file photo from the LSJ: Located directly north and also built in the 60's is St. Gerard Elementary and St. Gerard, itself. All of these are/were in St. Gerard Parish, which covers mos…

Apparently, the University Student Commission. lol I had to look them up. It's actually a city commission of 11 students who are supposed to help facilitate student/city relations, of which there appear to be some representation by the official …

Yep, it was last used by Michigan National. It appears to be "wasteful of space" since it was originally a high school. It was originally constructed as the Lansing Diocese's John W. O'Rafferty High School. Wiki says that when it was sold to MNB …

Really interesting read. I was surprised to see the student group against the project, especially the part about the project destroying the "agricultural nature" of campus. lol Really just blows my mind that Core Spaces would waste their time in…

How'd the vote break down? Like I said, I'm really surprised they'd propose, again, basically the same plan which is out of conformity with the code on a number of issues.

Glad to see this building getting reused. Morley Cos. to hire 500 for Delta Township facility DELTA TWP. – Saginaw-based Morley Cos will hire approximately 500 new employees beginning next year for a new facility in Delta Township. The…
