Eastwood is a weird, messy jumble of uses which probably should have never been built, but it seems to finally be working or at least finding an identity. In fact, there was a story yesterday partially about the area,
which has become a major hotel center in the region:
Quote:
LANSING TWP. – The seven-story frame of the Hilton Homewood Suites towers over the Walmart next door. Facade work is well underway.
When the 139-room hotel opens this fall, it will be the third built in the Heights at Eastwood in the course of three years.
And there are two more on the way.
Work will start on a six-story Holiday Inn later this summer directly behind the Hyatt Place, which opened across from NG Cinemas in 2015.
A fifth hotel, which has yet to be announced, is planned between the Hyatt and Hilton.

Yeah, the mini-housing boom has made for some crazy rents in the region. Rents down at Stadium District across from Oldsmobile Park are over $1,100 a month. The Outfield in the stadium ranges from $950 to $1,400. Marketplace across from the stadium starts out at around $1,400 for two bedrooms. Prudden Wheels just outside downtown starts at $995 for a 1-bedroom. Knapp's Centre on Washington Square starts out at $1,400 for a 2-bedroom.
Generally, new construction stuff has been starting out at around $1,000 a month for a 1-bedroom, and most of the properties have wait lists.
