Leonard St NW

[arcturus]

Kind of thought this would transition as the new Bridge St with Mitten/Long Road/Two Scotts anchoring.  Give it time or is there some inherent disadvantage?

I did catch this.  New office?  https://www.google.com/maps/@42.9849012,-85.6785897,3a,75y,28.09h,96.6t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sRcmfns_Wf1h1Zf3Z2JyFYg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192

Leonard has a freeway interchange and much less pedestrian friendly than Bridge from the freeway west.

That's Tommy Brann's new building?  I remember we talked about that on the West Side thread a while back... Haven't been up there in person , but at least the Streetview pic actually makes it look better than the  renderings, which were awful.

I'm all for preserving old buildings but in this case I'm not sure very much could have been done with ones that used to be here.  And if West Leonard is going to grow like Bridge, I would think it'll need some more mass fronting the street.

It appears they've closed off Quary between Mitten and Long Road.  That's a great idea and i hope it's made permanent.  Wouldn't that be a good traffic calming thing year round for that side of the street?

Looks like there is another project planned for Leonard.  Nothing too exciting, but more great infill.

Leonard is starting to gain a lot of momentum.  I'm looking forward to the YMCA and Genesis projexts starting.

With 900 Leonard underway I street viewed the area and came across 2 other recent developments.  Were these discussed?

- apartments at Leonard & McReynolds

- apartments at Leonard & Alpine (https://www.leoandal.com

So that must be what this project was that I saw yesterday almost at the corner of Leonard and Alpine.

The magic of real estate photography: notice how much bigger the TV screen appears in the third photo than in the first (and how much smaller the refrigerator has become.)

The genesis project has been reconfigured.  They will now be demoing the old funeral home and constructing a three story apartment building.  An increase from 38 to 55 apartments.

Between this and Victory across the street that makes 175 apartments.

Maybe discussed elsewhere but stumbled upon a nicely done project just south of Leonard on Pine.  Picture is looking north.

looks like a definite downgrade from the original plan. This one looks like it belongs on Lake Michigan Dr in Standale.

I think this is the old Leonard St YMCA spot?
