Has anyone else seen the Peckham warehouse that they're building out on North Grand River? It's about halfway between Waverly and 96, next door to Wolverton. The structure is almost complete and it's looking like a pretty big place, at least 200k sq…

My biggest disappointment is realizing that so many projects were dead in the water. The ones that I most wanted to see succeed were Capitol Club and The Lenawee. The biggest success story in my eyes would have to be the Broad Art Museum beginnin…

Anyone notice that a new restaurant is in Troppo's old spot? I think it's called Edmund's. I don't know if they've been mentioned yet, but 621 has reopened and the Grand Traverse Pie Co is opening up on the ground floor if the Landmark Building.

It's really sad that the credit market is in the pits. If it weren't for that most of the projects proposed over the several years would of likely happened, and would have resulted in more projects. I just hope this economy begins turning around soo…

I surprised at the CBD class A vacancy rate. 6.1% is a fairly healthy vacancy rate for even good times, with thing's the way they are now 6.1% is great.

CBRE has market reports on their site, but you need to make an account (just email & password) to sign in. I've tried several different emails and it always says "account blocked." I don't know what's wrong with their system, I sent them an emai…

Just small bit of news... I was browsing commercial real estate listings and it seems that they are proposing to add 10,200 sq ft of retail space onto the first floor of One Michigan Ave. They don't have any renderings or details, but this would …

I'm glad to hear that the court resolved this issue quickly. Now I'll be patiently awaiting the groundbreaking.

I am in support of requiring a said amount of local labor on a project (not 100% though, as some projects may require a small number of highly specialized workers that may not be available locally). I also support requiring that all workers be paid …

Lansing council doesn't approve tax incentives for projects City Council is holding up the Armory and Marketplace projects over the inclusion of PLA's. I'm sure that one way or another the projects will proceed, despite this setback. It seems as…

There is an article in this weeks City Pulse about the future Deluxe Inn redevelopment. They also showed off an example of what the redevelopment may look like: A vision for where the Deluxe Inn stood

I'm glad to hear that he is working on getting Marketplace moving. I'm really glad to hear that they're looking at recladding the pedestrian bridge, that thing is really ugly.

I thought the same thing. I'm wondering what it's going to look like from different angles.

This wouldn't be on the site of the ice rink. The ice rink would be right behind where the picture was taken from. I'm assuming this is the result of the sculpture contest earlier this year. Here is a story on the sculpture from City Pulse: The r…

This is great news. I hope that IBM continues to grow their Lansing presence. I do agree that the location for the new MSUFCU branch is odd, their is almost nothing in the surrounding area.

Wow the preliminary design costs $55 million? That's enough to build a pretty big building. I know they said this thing was going to cost $550 million, but I got a feeling it's going to cost closer to $1 billion.

About the art museum, I'm wondering if some of the walls will be pre-cast. There's a place, near the NE corner of Aurelius & I-96 that has had a crane up for awhile building something. When I took the time to look back there, I seen a tall skinn…

I too am keeping my fingers crossed, but in the back of my mind I sorta doubt we'll get it. If someplace in Michigan does get the fiber I bet it will be Ann Arbor or Grand Rapids.

I agree that there are probably better things to spend money on than renovating cafeterias and dorms, especially to the degree that they're renovating them. I'm not sure what the money should be spent on though, as I don't really know what MSU has a…
