Interesting comments, considering the building was designed by Architects from here in town and the USDA, with heavy input from the vendors and other stakeholders I think maybe you're criticizing the process and not the result?

I hope the old adage "never judge a book by its cover" (though I'm not willing to concede that the exterior will look "bad" when all is said than done) is taken into account by the buying public. The new market will be better, it'll have more of a …

Very true, I wasn't forgetting about them... the City Parking lot opens up right to the bank and I think some of the property behind the Studio building extends all the way to the river bank as well... maybe some of the houses could be gotten by a d…

The Land Bank got the south bar a few months back, they trimmed some of the overgrown brush on the backside of the building and buttoned up the building. I've heard the building is in pretty rough shape, a lot of copper was stripped out of it and t…

Its intriguing in that they have the land to build this development, but from the picture presented in the press they haven't even designed it. They want to use federal stimulus bonds but I thought those were for "shovel ready" projects. Perhaps I…

I really respect the developers for trying to do something here, I think they have the best intentions and this is a project that will probably be viewed in 5-6 years as ahead of its time. Shame its been caught up in the great recession... maybe it…

Well, last night I went over to take a look at the progress of the construction and it looked to me like the south west facing wall has a lot of bracing on the interior that could become cutouts for windows so I'm still reserving judgment until its …

Can we not withhold judgment until the building is actually finished? It seems to me as though there is a half built building and you guys are treating as though you're looking at the finished product.

I think you'll find that Bernero's record in the Neighborhoods is not even close to what Wood makes it out to be. I think Wood's biggest misstep is her anti-downtown sentiment. She wants to pit the Neighborhoods vs. Downtown, but the fact remains …

LMich, The factory was bought by an industrial user who is consolidating operations into the building then expanding. They've been picking away at getting the building back to basic order due to the excessive vandalism, theft, and general wear a…

the last time i drove by there i noticed there was still a house standing, however it looks to be a pretty nice home that might have recently had some $ put into it....

interesting opinion piece in the LSJ the other day on the market business plan... it'll be interesting to see how that whole thing plays out since it seemed like it was going to be a major sticking point and then at the end of the day it turned out …

Next that area around Red Cedar needs some real MSU Development... class rooms, lab space, something of the sort that can help justify increasing the student housing. This silly debate on the golf courses needs to end, turn them into open park spac…

Look at the area of town, its off a highway in a very heavily RETAIL environment... its at the intersection of MSU, East Lansing, and Lansing... its not in a "walkable area" (there are neighborhoods to the north, not sure how much foot traffic they …

Micro, The 600 South Capitol building is the "doggy day care" aka Annabelle's Pet Station DBI's renovation is mostly adding windows to the third story and giving a fresh exterior look to the building.

JWSWRITES... Wasn't it the City Pulse that jumped all over M3 Marketing for NOT DISCLOSING ITS CLIENT RELATIONSHIP TO GILLESPIE? How can they have an OP-ED piece from somebody who... conveniently enough is writing AGAINST the development, and ha…

Did anybody go to the meeting? Any feedback?

right now it doesn't have the votes to pass, if you know anything about council then you can probably guess where the votes are landing... they need 6 yes votes for the development to pass... if they say no next monday night, downtown development w…

is there a way to upload on this thing or only link to a website?
