Pure speculation here, but I've noticed that the postal service has recently added themselves to this sign that used to be Knoll's on 36th street. Move incoming?
Any one have any info on this?
Who can we petition to get them to move their operations downtown to this location? Easy highway access and close proximity to the airport.

Ada House Hotel stair cores are currently going up:
This will be building A4/A5 in the below Ada town plan:
Also there has been fencing put up and a lot of earthwork on the townhouse/ apartment area to the east of the developments pictured above:

New project coming to Fairview. 15 units total. Some neighbors are opposed to the 6 unit building, saying it's incongruent with the Area Specific Plan. A whole bunch of letters in support of the project as well.
Interesting, so this is across the street from the development they've been building the last few years on the bluff.
Looks like with the 600 Fairview buildings they are continuing the townhome look that is just south of Trowbridge that Artesian did a few years back.

Any idea what the details are regarding use of the expansion? Any modification of seating to the inside of the Arena? It looks like this expansion is to the south and west? So many questions.
Not sure about reno to existing field house. This expansion is a new gym, locker rooms, weight room and new entry area.

It's pretty much just an expansion of the field house.

Gun Lake is likely going to be busy with their property south of Wayland to get too involved with anything downtown anytime soon. Their casino could potentially be much more visible from 131 in the near future, like Firekeepers visible, just on a smaller scale. I don't think they would want to vulture themselves by drawing people away from their current location.

I didn't want to say anything because it hadn't been announced as far as I knew, but I just found this article so it must not be too big a secret, too bad they don't have a rendering of the hotel.

That's exciting!
Now if the racing games I've played over the years are accurate, there should be a ramp installed somewhere on 131 that'll jump me into the parking garage for a major shortcut.

Groundbreaking for the new hotel in Ada:
That's funny, pretty sure they already have foundations in the ground...
I'll try to nab a picture on my way through one of these days now that's it is light enough when I drive through after work.

There was a mention in an article about upgrades to Westin apartments. Dwelling place owns the lot next to Max’s (and mennas). Sounds like they decided renovations were needed at the 2 buildings that are on Weston, and they are holding on building on the lot for now. Sounds like it was around 5 stories. It’ll add much needed affordable housing, but I don’t think it’ll be anything amazing to look at when built (it is in a historic district, so it’ll need to look appropriate to the area).

I'll let y'all decide on the appropriateness of the look of the building for the location.

I admit I'm cheating a bit with these predictions (with some insider info), but here are my two predictions:
1 - The addition of floors onto Keeler doesn't go anywhere, unsure if that means the renovation of the existing is being put off as well.
2 - There is an announcement to turn a parking lot into a residential building (think official GR height) near the arena, but not a parking lot a lot of people would first think of (obvious hint below):

Is the Spectrum site ready for a tower crane?
Don't know, but the steel fabricator who is working on Perrigo will also be doing Spectrum CTI, and looking at the schedule for CTI it makes sense to just tear it down, drive a few blocks north and set it back up.

Crane is coming down. Any guesses where it goes next?
A few blocks north.

A few more angles. I believe this to be rather budgetary at the moment, no clue if it'll become anything anytime soon. Bids to the GC are due 12/1 if I'm reading all the documents correctly.

Every time I drive by it I think it’s days are numbers. I just assume it will become more parking ramp space or specialty offices, same with the building and surface lot across the street. SH has a building boom about every decade, this time it looks like it’ll happen in Monroe North, but the Cook Institute has got to meet the wrecking ball soon.
You may be on to something here...
Not a ramp, and something right around the official GR height.

Any idea if/when we'll hear some details for the plans/use?
I'm itching for a good next-door neighbor(s) haha
The project name on the drawings is Keeler Flats.
Looks like ground floor retail, tenant space in the basement, then apartments from the second floor on up.

I WANT TO BELIEVE!!! But we've been down this road before.
Plans for the Keeler always sweet-talk you in, but then leaves you at the altar.
Not trying to get hopes up here, but there is a 'conceptual' project schedule that shows demo work would be starting in a few weeks, tower crane would be put up first week of May next year.
