Just think if some of the Boys Training school buildings were left, they would of been great for reuse. Here's a picture of the main building:

I was disappointing to see the way Pruess' left the front of their building, I think all they did was power wash the brick and paint the wood over the windows. I'd have liked to see windows where there were windows before and some exterior lighting …

It really sucks to see the Temple Club project on hold. I would really like to see Old Towns influence spread in all directions, but I'd especially like to see it go east. You bring up an interesting point that the ORCA may be undermarketing that ea…

I would say the casinos have helped Detroit both economically and socially, although I would try to use Detroit or it's casinos as a benchmark for Lansing. I think that a casino would actually help more here than in Detroit. I think of the key benef…

Do you remember what the last start date he gave was? I thought he was saying spring or summer. Anyways, he could still offer parking on that site even while construction is going on. From my understanding the first phase of the project will only…

Casino Lansing? It looks like there's a new effort to bring a casino to Lansing, this time it appears to be a more locally oriented drive. I've wanted to see a casino in downtown Lansing for awhile now, so any effort is welcome news to me. I'm…

I'm not sure as to a specific timeline, but I'm pretty sure they plan on installing it sometime this spring/summer.

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.
