Where are all those politicians now who were trying to score cheap political points by calling this facility a boondoggle?

They've been too busy picking up stranded cold-country EV owners who overestimated their driving range. I keep an extra parka just in case in my v8.  Won't be long til summer though.

I would be surprised if its an actual Hilton and not a not a sub-brand such as Homewood Suites, Garden Inn or Tru by Hilton. Metro Dertroit and GR dont even have a full-service Hilton anymore

Way up the Lakeshore...  In Frankfort.   Still in the I'll believe when I see it stages.

I know exactly where that site is. We've eaten at the Cabbage Shed just down the street from there. I wondered what the story was with all that land. This seems like a bit of an overindulgence for that property.

Looking a little deeper it is just a Tru by Hilton

Cabbage shed is a off the beaten path gem.

For sure. Good food and a lot of character.

Love the Cabbage Shed. Definitely need to do some trips along M22 this summer.

Update on Zeeland’s Sligh Furniture Building redevelopment.

[joeDowntown]

I drove by the other day. That part of Zeeland looks a bit apocalyptic right now with the Sligh building gutted, a big empty lot, then the remnants of the burned down restaurant. It's going to look MUCH better when this building construction really gets rolling!

Is this related to the MSU medical/innovation/Meijer named building?  Same architect?

[HomePortSupplyCo]

Lakefront hotel project in Manistee.  Appears even the east facing rooms will have slight lake views of Lake Michigan, which is cool.

Bummer. That would have been a really cool project.

Edit: supplement to Joe's post above.

Muskegon received $9.3M in grants from the Michigan Strategic Fund which will be allocated to a couple downtown housing projects.

880 First St, which is the skeleton building that has been waiting for some love a while now, is getting a new looks plus a five-story addition next door. 80-90 "housing" units + amenities:

 

351 Western (aka Lakeview Lofts). The second phase of the apartment project on Western. 80-90 apartment units + ground floor commercial. The image below is the first phase which is already completed. The second phase will be to it's left (you may have seen a certain cellphone video shot through a window in the news recently):

Muskegon is in a bit of a boom. 450-550 units + office and commercial to renovate the old Shaw Walker Furniture factor. $220m investment:

Jon Rooks is the developer.  Looking at the photo of the old multi-story Shaw Walker factory just now reminds me that Jon Rooks several years ago had similar plans to develop another old multi-story furniture factory in Grand Rapids, the Sligh factory on Century.  He didn't quite get around to that one.  Of course he's done a lot of successful redevelopments of old buildings through the years in Grand Rapids and elsewhere.  And he was doing them back when they weren't all that common.     

[joeDowntown]

Yep, Jon Rooks did a lot of residential in Grand Rapids back in the day before focusing his efforts on the lakeshore. Always seemed like he knew how to get the job done.
