15 years? I first heard talk of this project around 2005 if my memory serves me right. I know it's cutting hairs, the article is still wrong. Am I remembering it wrong? Nonetheless, I feel like there should be a party at the southeast corner of G…

I think the benefits are mutual. The city doesn't have to insure the building anymore and doesn't have to act as a landlord. The museum can control its property and not have to worry about losing their lease.

I don't know but that's a great idea

I hope they don't bill the driver for the damage to the building On a more serious note, both of these incidents are a further reminder of how dangerous automobiles are. Along with widening sidewalks, we should install bollards at intersections …

Yeah, I agree with your whole comment. The speed limit needs to be lowered and we were very lucky there were no casualties. Changing Cedar and Larch to two-way would help in lowering the speed limit, and adding in protected bike lanes along Michi…

That's great to hear that it's moving forward! Two years since the last update on the project and the costs have raised 150%. This will be very good quality residential in-fill.

This happened a few days ago but wasn't posted here yet. A school bus (with no children on board) crashed in to the side of the Stadium District where the Beer Grotto was (they closed about 6 months ago I believe). The building suffered major struct…

Yeah that's sad. That development would have been really nice infill. The city's debt and mismanagement of City Center 2 is having real consequences

Thanks for finding this. Wow it's actually more tied up than I thought. Even though that previous article says demolition is still on track and something will get built, I can still see the current developers announcing that they're selling the prop…

It seems that DRW/Convexity thought they would just inherit the tax credit for free, but that tax credit was awarded to Chapelle and his proposal. If DRW/Convexity had worked with the MEDC when they acquired the properties to create their own propos…

What concerns me most about this isn't the architecture, it's that there is no plan presented for where City Hall will move to or how it will be funded. For all we know, City Hall will end up operating out of trailers.

Any other place I would like it, but I don't like the idea of a new building sitting in the courtyard of an older building.

If I were to change a couple things about the Beitler, it's that I would punch out more windows on the west side of the north-south facing tower and I would keep the public plaza but cut out a loading/drop-off lane on Michigan Ave.
-
All of the proposals look bad to me. They all remove the public square (Beitler puts a circle drive in it), and none of them answer the question to why these can't be built elsewhere (I assume the answer is that the city will give more money for thi…

Oh thanks! I see it now. Yeah I was looking in the wrong area.
-
Huh, I still can't see the airstrip on the map. I'm looking at the dark purple area, the blue area above it, and the orange area above that.
-
It is! I can't believe that it sold in 2015 for only $34,400. I wish I could have bought it
