I don't see the actual building changed from the rendering your posted awhile back.
-
Okay, aside from the stickies still not working correctly, I'm having everything marked as read even when I just click into one thread.
-
The only big change is that this one doesn't have a parking garage and the main building is expanded into its footprint.

Hobbs+Black, BKV Group...I'm sure even Christman - who is the construction manager - got in on the design. Anyway, hood had posted the main rendering some time ago: https://develop.metrolansing.com/discussions/discussion/231/lansing-area-development…

Public Safety HQ (& Fire Station #9) update is in next week's committee of the whole packet. Everything's coming in on budget. These aren't new, I don't think, but they haven't been posted here: The design of Fire Station #9 looks…

To be honest, this simply sounds like an expansion of the their exsiting University Corporate Research Park concept. They already have the small East Lansing Technology Innovation Center located in downtown East Lansing. So I suspect this is just an…

Okay, I went and looked at the floorplans, and this area I thought was the mainstage and backstage is actually the small black box theater on the third floor. Still don't see the need for the projected panelling, but whatever. lol I was wondering wh…

Yeah, saw that, today. I agree with the one advocate who says that the parking minimum on them is probably not necessary given who these are targeted for. If they get any complaints, they can always amend it, is my working idea. They also got someth…

See, my concern was that it was grooved concrete. So I'm very happy if it turns out to be some kind of legit metal. lol Of course, you'd rather have it be nice stone or some higher quality metal. But if it turns out to be some mid-grade aluminium or…

@citykid, Do you happen to know if New Vision has done any lot combinations, yet, for their Tower on Grand site? I noticed that the city put out a "new" parcel shapefile a few weeks/months ago, but also noticed that it didn't show some lot combin…

I'm curious what the material is around the large openings, but other than that, I'm so glad to see a professional and mature design befitting a serious performing arts space in a capital city. The massing's a little clunky on the exterior where you…

Ahh, I see it now on page 12 of the pdf file.

Okay, what I saw was a trailhead laid east of the cemetery's driveway entrance on Mt. Hope. It looks like it was aligned to accept cycle and pedestrian traffic across the street on Fidelity Road going to Crego Park. But it currently goes a few yards…

Speaking of trails, I noticed a trailhead had been freshly laid at the road entrance to Evergreen Cemetery the other day. Anyone know anything aout this? Are they going to lay a trail through the cemetery? I'm there quite often, and a lot of folks w…

Yeah, especially since COVID, it seems the concept of "ground floor commercial space" is mostly dead when we're talking about apartment buildings. They were having hard times leasing space before then. But now you don't even hear it broached.
-
It's weird, the September 9th council packet shows "no attachment files" when they did the presentation for both of these. And the most D&P meeting doesn't have any actual drawings on it either. But the media somehow gets them? lol
-
You all mentioned some renderings of the two affordable apartment buildings being constructed down in Cherry Hill, and I was curious if anyone knows who the architects are, or were the designs done in-house of the developers of these properties?
-
Yeah, the local history librarian at CADL had debunked the tale years ago, and I think WKAR did a story on it at the time. I guess the LSJ is just catching up on it. Anyway, the tall tale was actually meant to be inspiring, basically that a group…

From 1999-2002, the RE Olds Transportation Museum had a sister museum on Michigan Avenue where the Tin Can (and neighboring building) is called the Oldsmobile Heritage Center. Really nice museum. As with everything else cultural in Lansing, it wasn'…

Oh, on the land division amendements proposal, something that's been irking me just a bit are lot minimum widths for single-family homes in particular. I support getting rid of the general minimum for the district mins, but I do take issue a bit wit…
