I'm surprised to see the that the Scott Castle (James Scott Mansion) will be turned into apartments and condo's.  I figured it would just sit there and get demolished one day.

I'm curious to know what 7 building near Eastern Market are being turned into townhomes and apartments.

Joel Landy has owned the Scott Mansion for years.  He does good work, but the projects seem to take forever to get off the ground...just like everything else in this city.  He has renovated many shells in the Cass Corridor into viable buildings, including a few that the city was hell-bent on tearing down.  He was responsible for some of the renovation work on the same block (closer to Woodward).  In fact, he was planning new construction in the area too, but I'd be surprised to see that get started before the renovation projects are complete.

I was most excited to hear that the Book Mansion is getting renovated.  It's not in the best shape anymore, since it's been abandoned for a few years and has been stripped out in the meantime.  There have been a lot of problems with people stripping houses in Indian Village, especially within the last month.

Most of you are probably aware of this already.

With Model D's redesigned website, they now have a pretty good "development database."

There is a building being demolished on Woodward near Warren.  I've heard all kinds of speculation as to what WSU is doing there but nothing confirmed.  Here are pictures from a couple days ago.
