So the front building on Grand River at the corner is the residential building, I was thinking this would be the hotel. I'm a little confused as this looks like a different view of the same drawing from Aug. 9. In other words, is this drawing is just of the residence and the hotel is going to be another building?
I answered my own question by driving out to take a look. The hotel is rising in the green space depicted in the drawing. It is interesting that they are giving the apartments a more prominent location and view. The Hub and The Landmark look so great! lots of activity around those locations.

Had not seen the other 3 pictures of The Graduate Hotel (other than the main aerial one which has been posted before). Looking forward to another hotel in downtown besides the Marriott.
There a new depiction of the "600 Block" project a few pages after this one, on the development firm's web site. I like the entry gate next to the tracks. It looks like a billboard has been drawn on the side of the hotel, I am hoping that is just for color, maybe it's the hotel marquee.
I'm not super impressed with the design of The Graduate Hotel, but it does look better than the painted stucco siding they have been using for the new outer ring hotels and it is going to be done with light-colored materials so it's going to light up that area nicely.
