Dan Gilbert Expected To Announce Brush Park Development

One prediction with getting land to develop in Brush Park.

With the arena we saw the problems of getting all of the needed land.

Here [[Brush Park) the city controls a lot of land and will do a RFPs and pick the development plans.

But what about the privately held land?

Will a number of the private land owners play "Land Lotto" and try to get rich on their land? Will that cause areas which are developed and areas which will look as bad as they do today?

EDIT: Of course, the big difference is if someone owns a 1/2 city block and wants to 'hold up' a developer for it, the developer say, "Nope" and lets the 1/2 block sit there undeveloped... Can't do that with a very large sports facility. D.C. had to go through eminent domain to get the land where 2nd base is at Nationals Park...
