I'd have to say I'm starting to lean towards the performing arts center being the "big" announcement, since I heard the words "finalizing plans" used. To me that implies that some already pretty solid plans are in place. The other possibilities are …

I am hoping the "yes" means that the city is already in talks with Capitol Bancorp about a possible new building downtown... Also, did anyone catch the City Pulse article last week about downtown development in 2006? Specifically it said that "fi…

I love that picture, both for the skyline and the grffiti in the foreground, it makes for a great contrast.

I sent an email to Bob Tresize asking him a few questions about things going on, her it is: My email: " I was wondering if the CIty is actively persuing Capitol Bancorp to stay downtown, there was article in the LSJ today that said they have…

They are continuing to dig a trench around what will be the perimeter of the building and there is rerod in place for some of the footings near Cedar St.

Looking at the webcam, they are moving along pretty quickly.

The crane and some steel is now onsite, so I would expect to this take shape pretty quickly this week and next week.

I never di get a picture of the sign at Ingham, but at some point, when I have time and the weather is decent, I would like to get out and get more pictures, of Ingham and other projects. As for the coffee shops, I'm not sure how much good it wou…

I seen the name of that coffee shop at the Ranney Building, Cornerstone Coffee. A guy who lives across the street from me is the owner of it, it's a new chain. The first one was in Holt and opened a year ago or so, he is now selling franchises and s…

I will have to dig through some of the city council meeting agendas, but I'm sure I can find it.

There was some sort of mixed use redevolopment proposed on abbot with some rowhouses and stuff I think, is this anywhere near that, or could it be the same thing?

westvillagecondos.net is up and running now, per Palapinga at urbanplanet. I'm dissapointed with the design compard with old one, however it will still be nice to see a higher quality rendering to be sure.

I wasn't even aware that the ground floor was being marketed as retail, in the property listing it was only advertising office space.

I don't think there is any hope to fix up Kalamazoo in the near future, maybe this area being so close to downtown, but once you get further East through the neighborhoods it would be too difficult. Many cities withe successful downtowns have rough …

Jared, can you update the thumbnail for the Hollister Building project page? I already updated the rendering on the page itself.

I was just by the building this morning and they tore down whatever was left of the front facade. As far as I'm concerned there is nothing left of the building worth trying to save. Maybe, now that Kalamazoo from Larch to the RR tracks is a virtuall…

WLNS reported that firefighters were demolishing some of the sidewalls in an effort to save what parts of the building they can. If they can save the facade, keeping it in a repairable state, I'de be happy. It turns out the owner of ACD.net is the o…

Thats really too bad, I mean REALLY too bad. Even in this building's severely dilapidated state it could have been nice, and this building was one of the few remaining decent sized warehouse/industrial buildings left in Lansing. Most of the others h…

The old cold storage warehouse has had a mjaor fire this morning, it was proposed to be rennovated into an artist colony: Warehouse fire shuts down Kalamazoo Street There is no word yet on how extensive the damage is, however, I would think that…

I like it too, the real test will be how good they can get the existing brick and cornice to look and if they can even out the facade where it sags.
