Wow, that's big news for that site. I take it that means they won't be tearing that building down? It's interesting that the city is giving them $145,000 in tax abatements over 12 years, whereas a similarly sized distribution center for Wal-Mart that was rumored for Dorr Township or Mt Pleasant was reportedly seeking $Millions in tax credits.

950,000 square feet is a massive operation.

Well, I was under the impression that Ashley Capital (the developer) was going to keep some of the Steelcase space for an industrial element of their massive plans for the site. I have a feeling that there may be a couple more industrial tenants in the future too at this site...I guess we'll see.
