That seems like a very odd location for something that size and also very out of place, in my opinion. I'd much rather see something like that more towards the downtown core...

Wow, the rendering is a lot better than what I was expecting as well! I expected a massive pole barn or pre engineered metal building. Let's hope the finished product actually is something decent!

So much better than a parking lot. If only we can get this to happen to more of them!

I'm right there with you @hood. I hate being part of a project that doesn't at least consider historically accurate windows. There are sometimes legit reasons. I often find that some older schools end up switching off of steam heat, so there is a…

Small item, but growing eyesore. Laux Construction posted on LinkedIn that they will be doing renovations on the pedestrian bridge connecting the Radisson to the Lansing Center. Not sure how to share the post, so I thought I'd try the screensh…

This is awesome news, I love Raising Canes!

I think that's likely what we'll get, but I hope I'm wrong too. We really could use some middle housing. The housing stock in Lansing is pretty dismal, but it's hard to add/improve the stock when the property values are so low/affordable. At leas…

Based on that price, I wouldn't hold your breath on decent houses. While it's a decent price for Lansing on existing homes, I can't believe they're able to build them that cheap. Maybe the land will be dirt cheap, that will help, but construction …

I remember the parks being maintained a lot better during my childhood. While things are mowed and kept up for the most part now, they seemed very manicured. Now, not so much. Frances park is always beautifully maintained which makes sense for wh…

I haven't been out that way, but could it be Lift Build construction? With how quickly it's coming together, I was curious. I know its newer and I believe created by Barton Mallow. Basically they build the top floor, lift it up, build the next, a…

@hood, Studio Intrigue had a release on LinkedIn a couple days ago with additional renderings and their logo on them...its safe to say it's Studio Intrigue. With the size of the project, I doubt they're partnering with any other firm either. A…

I don't want to be too pessimistic yet either, but Studio Intrigue's designs have been pretty lack luster and disappointing for years now. I'll just wait and see what comes as things develop further. I wish the area would start utilizing some …

@gbdinlansing, as someone who drives through that area of MLK frequently, and a nearby resident, I would love to see them do something a little more visually pleasing. Given the fact the railroad is right along the riverbank makes me think that the…

I just wanted to speak up for the architects, because we would rather be working on different projects, but these we can copy and paste and make money on. Well, the developer I worked with was not the most knowledgeable, in my opinion, but he was s…

@hood, regarding your wish that architects would stop repeating that design, I'm 100% with you. However, it's generally not the architect to blame. It's the client, usually a developer, who is trying to build as cheap as possible, use quality mate…

As someone that has done a lot of work with site plans, those lines are most likely the right or way or property line and then the required setback by the city. Hard to tell looking at the small image on my phone, but I'm guessing based on the line…

The baseball thing, sorry, should have clarified. It's definitely a unique idea and with the effort I'd put in, I'd always rooted for it to see what becomes of it. The guy was so passionate about it when I spoke with him.

I actually worked on that project, pro bono, years and years ago when I was at another firm. We never had much faith much would come of it, so I'm not sure how solid of a development it is, but it would be interesting if it came to fruition. Desig…

I had the same thought on Clara's. I'm big on historical preservation/adaptation and I'm not sure I'm a fan of this. Even replacing simple windows of this Era I wouldn't be a fan of. Windows of that age are easily repaired and easily outlast repl…

This really is unfortunate to hear. As someone who lives in the Westside neighborhood, I was really hoping this would turn out better than what they had in their plan. Guess that was wishful thinking. That stretch of Saginaw really needs some imp…
