As of yet I'm not seeing any good overall views of the whole building but it's vastly better than what they had previously. I like that they said "above ground construction" will begin in Spring. Great coverage from City Pulse on this.
I like the building more now that I see the wider view. I was worried about that box sticking out on Washington that I could see on the edge of the other renderings, but now that I see it in context it isn't terrible. Obviously not ideal, but not terrible. It looks like that white section will be used as a marquee billboard which would make it look more palatable.
@MichMatters That silver material looks disturbingly like corrugated metal, hopefully some sort of architectural grade cladding though.
That probably is some sort of metal panel. There are a lot of commercial metal panel products that have different profiles to them. I can't believe it would be just sheets of corrugated metal. That said, some of those panel profiles can look similar and are pretty popular right now.
My concern is having a metal panel that close to grade. People and objects will dent that up in no time.
Yeah, I have no idea why they went with that panel projecting off the side of the building. I'm going to assume it's somehow necessary or they really hated the look without it, hopefully they're not forgetting this is Michigan and falling ice/snow on stuff that hangs over the sidewalk is a risk.
Don't hold me to the accuracy (I asked Chat GPT) here but:
Lansing / Dayton
Median Income City $45k / $38k
Median Income Metro $62k / $62k
Median House Value City $104k / $63k
Median House Value Metro $193k / $171k
City Population 112k / 137k
Metro Population 541k/814k
...So no, Dayton's is income is lower in the city and the same for the metro. Dayton is just bigger. I didn't realize how closely matched the cities are in some ways.
