To be fair, I think someone could renovate 308 Cesar Chavez and break even, it'd have been done if values in this area were a little higher. I certainly don't mind it being razed to make room for a development that someday includes the artic corner …

That was a cool little building. In a different universe I could see the original portion still there, sandwiched between two skyscrapers. That being said, I can't say that I'd be arguing too much against its demolition even today if it still existe…

I snapped a few pictures on Sunday, showing the beginnings of a busy year. Tower on Grand: (demo of three floor building done, on Monday the area behind the Atrium Building was cordoned off and the old Hacks Key shop razed) Riverview 220…

I'm unsurprised by the Turner & Dodge River Dr redevelopment, I saw that little building on the corner go up for sale and seemingly sell pretty quickly. It's a fairly ugly 5-over-1 building but what are you going to do? I don't have an LSJ subsc…

...Turns out it's the other Gillespie and it will be in the old church at Michigan and Hayford: https://www.facebook.com/thegillespiecompany/posts/pfbid033CSz7pqcvSmR8U6c3FqXimxR5QjkyVkwky2x6mek3Wug2HYQ69rrcAztVaYgyD9fl

I really have no idea. If not in a new building there's certainly some office buildings along Saginaw in the Groespeck area that I could see it going in, there's a couple medical office buildings near Sparrow or maybe there's room in The Armory? New…

A 40 unit four-floor building would be a very pleasant surprise. That being said the plans in the building permits would seem likely to be what's actually happening, especially considering that was the original plan. I guess we'll see.

It sounds like we're still maybe a year or so away from maps taking effect. One thing I did find promising was a quote from Gillespie saying that he's considering mixed-use-hospitality buildings on part of the site now: "Some of the other calls …

I do hope that he gets back to work in the Stadium District, he's bought up so many properties there before finishing what he stared. Even seemingly completed projects like the original Stadium District building and Block 600 have tons of surface pa…

I mention sidewalks on Miller not necessarily for this sports development (though that lot is lacking sidewalks), but because last year (or the previous year??) the city added built a lot of sidewalk along Miller where there previously was none but …

I share the surprise that Gillespie Group is the selected developer, this sort of thing doesn't really seem in their wheelhouse. I guess I'm happy to see a local developer upping their game, hopefully that same energy shows up when he turns his atte…

Great to hear that the powers-that-be aren't going to go the obstructionist route on this one. I believe that a project like this will be a clear net benefit to the city and the southside's business community while being, at the very worst, a net ne…

I guess I'm of the opinion that this development is better than I expected. I agree with everything @P2005 said, especially on the driveways between the building and road, but I find it difficult to nitpick too much on this one. If anything, I wish …

Heavy equipment showed up on site yesterday so this one appears to finally be getting going.

It says that the developer (who apparently has already been selected), is responsible for financing the hotel, market rate housing, retail/office, and parking. So in the site plan that'd be the buildings labeled "Hotel", "Residential + Retail", "Off…

The upcoming MSU BoT meeting has an authorization to proceed for the new Olympic sports arena and surrounding development, this project is moving much faster than I anticipated. I attached a pdf with renderings and more info. Fairly impressive. h…

It's good see some overlap between my map and the formal designations. @Lymon89 Thanks for the compliments

Yeah, it's been pretty quiet on all fronts lately. Site work on both LHC projects is progressing pretty quickly. Still no signs of life at City Hall, Ovation or any of the New Vision projects.

I had started making a map highlighting historic buildings I think should be saved and put some more work into completing it when I saw this discussion. I (mostly) didn't include single family homes, only commercial and multi-family buildings. I als…

Agreed, Schor has gotta go. If we get someone incompetent in his place then at least the political space is open for someone else to rise up, whereas nobody serious seems to want to go against Schor. Maybe we'll get lucky and he'll leave on his own …
