Agree. Whatever legalisms for building on those lots was probably solved years ago and the last one, with St. Johns church, solved what two [[?) years ago.
I still maintain, to the dismay of some posters here, is that the Ilitches are trying to manage this District Detroit effort on a semblance of sanity. The arena and parking garages first, Ilitch school of business [[I know it is a WSU project but it still impacts construction), LC headquarters next, then previously announced housing developments in the arena area, etc. as announced, then this housing development, etc. etc.
As we've discussed many times, between what is happening in District Detroit and now with Gilbert at the Hudson's site, etc. there will be a lot of ongoing construction in the area taxing the supply of skilled construction workers.
