The city signed a purchase agreement - the first step in many - to begin the development by SSP Associates for 100,000-square feet of building space at the Uptown site that will include a mix of residential, retail and restaurant space. SSP, which is led by local Dr. Samuel Shaheen, is no stranger to development having renovated the Temple Theatre in Saginaw and construction a $20 million, three-building project that housing the Michigan CardioVascular Institute in Saginaw.

I have no doubt in my mind that Shaheen will make this happen.

For those not familiar, it's a massive piece of property

Thanks for the map. Just looking at it, if done right, this could be a major extension of the city's downtown. Looks like an amazing opportunity.
