  • I made both the MSP Headquarters and the 20 floor version of the S Grand Condos in Google Earth, here are a couple angles:
  • As far as the dyslexic foundation property, a piece of property could be bought within a couple blocks, and house moving would cost like $20-30k. It's not a bad deal even from a financial point of view, houses like that one are actually cost-effecti…

  • I think he will probably get all the property needed, I beleive he only needs that dyslexic foundation property. I just hope he intends to move, not destroy that old house. Other than that this is fantastic, I can't wait to see the view from inside …

  • Two new stories from todays LSJ, still limited details, and no renderings: Projects will have both sides of river 'exploding' Plans for City Market draw mixed feelings

  • This development actually looks a little more extensive than I thought, especially whats on the riverfront. If they can pull this off it would be huge. The way their talking this thing is a sure deal if the tax abatements come through. What I'd real…

  • Story in todays LSJ: Plan touts new City Market IT sounds like we should be seeing some renderings and/or siteplans as part of todays announcement. I'm liking the sound of two 6 floor towers behind olds park and a new city market on the riverfro…
  • I don't know, I haven't heard when the fountain will be built, but it would make sense to wait until spring. But with this fountain being in a very high-profile location they may very well heat it and/or use anti freeze to keep it running in the win…
  • I really can't be too sure where exactly this will be, but I'm thinking it will be on that land north of the ballbark where the city garage is and maybe where City Market is. I'll be patiently waiting to see "all the details" tomorrow... Also, th…
  • This from the upcoming city council meeting's agenda: "Obsolete Property Rehabilitation Act (OPRA) District Application filed by The Gillespie Company, L.L.C. on behalf of Michigan Avenue Investors, LLC for property located at 1609-1615 E. Michig…
  • Yes, and 50' from the street is much closer than any street in that rendering, it's about the same setback that Constitution Hall has. That photo is looking from the northeast, towards the southwest. Even at only five floors, the roof should be at a…
  • They definately got their directions mixed up (I it's supposed to be looking towards southwest, not from the southwest), at 50 ft the setback shouldn't be much more than that of Constitution Hall. It still sucks, but with the last rendering of this …
  • Another story on the project in LSJ: Security to buffer state police HQ The new design looks a lot better, but still mediocre and the site layout looks like it will keep with far setbacks and security, security, security.
  • Eastwood is served by Lansing sewers, Lansing was making a big deal over Lansing Twp wanting to install new streets because of capacity issues. I don't know what's happened to the JC Penny, WILX reported that one was on its way, but that no schedule…
  • I tried to use my phone to comment, obviously it didn't work too well. Jared can you fix that?
  • Theres never been a solid timeline as far as I know. Also, they are moving along on the facade, using styrofoam.
  • Yeah I find people who complain like that laughable. Especially in an area like that, a mediocre neighborhood of nicer, newer houses. Property owners there stand to benifit a lot from this development, this might be the push this neighborhood needs …
  • And if you haven't already posted your images online I suggest photobucket, however most people use flickr.
  • Oh, your right. However I have always hoped to see a future expansion under Aurelius into Crego Park. As you said there is also public land on the North and South, but also a nice sized private lot at Aurelius & MT. Hope that I think would serve…
  • Finally after years nothing happening, potter park may be expanding accross Aurelius in the somewhat near future, and some much needed improvements are coming soon:Much ahead in zoo overhaul
  • Last I heard the developers were hoping to have the parking ramp deal sealed to begin contruction of the towers foundation before the end of this year. They would then begin pre-selling condos and begin above-ground construction after a certain port…
