At the end they say: "LCC this year filed a request for state aid to pay for a 70,000-square-foot academic building that would replace the Continental Building.
The $48.3 million project would include renovations of the 78,200-square-foot Arts & Sciences Building and add more math and science space to the campus."
70k sq ft is quite large for that sight, I'd say at least 4 floor building, and LCC has been doing some pretty nice projects, I'd expect this to be no different.
I wonder how quickly redevelopment will take on after Washington is opened up, that SBC lot would be great to see get developed. But I hope to see most of the buildings in that area redeveloped, most should be razed. Also, the Victor building is designed for ground floor retail, hopefully there will eventually be enough demand for it to be used for retail/entertainment space rather than office.
Speaking of that area, what's the story behind the building the police precinct is in? It seems like such a strange (and large) building to have been built, and yet be largely unoccupied?
I drove by the apartments on Clippert today and they are working on the second floor. The rumor that I heard is that DTN has bought up all remaining properties on that strip and they plan to build much more student housing there.
This is across from the Red Cedar Golf Course on Clippert. The DTN building would be directly south of Calkins Paint.
No, the crazy looking building the police precinct is in. With the weird angled roof line. I went there a while ago and the whole middle of the building was still empty. Was it build exclusively for the LPD?
I suppose that was a while ago though, something could be in there now.
The building that the North Precinct is in is (or was) actually part of the larger 3 floor Motorwheel Building. It was almost completely reconstructed in 1999, I think. their website says that there is 40,000 sq ft of space leased to Lansing Police Departments and Capital Consultants Engineering, and the other 80,000 sq ft was leased to Lockheed Martin/ACS State and Local Solutions.
Karp has already received deposits for the purchase of most of the units, I am on his mailing list. He even sent preliminary floor plans and a site plan, but no renderings. I cant find the email right now, but I'm sure I didn't delete it.

I can't help but wonder though, how they're going to replace all that lost revenue from cheap speeding tickets.
