  • They could have very well overbudgeted intentionally so that they could build a larger building than proposed. It helps to make the project sound less extravigant, because $45 million is an awful lot for 150,000 sq ft, Boji Tower only cost $19 milli…
  • This will be the worst building in downtown if built this way. It is low and sprawling with a huge setback. It is ugly beyond beleif, and leaves no room for futere development on the remainging portion of the site. I'm just glad this is a coneptual …
  • Like, Lmich I definately would not expect J C Penny's to move downtown. But I'm sort of glad to hear of more development in Eastwood, I'm pretty confident it will be new construction.
  • I think it starts in early April.
  • Well, GM will be tearing down Crafte Center, Metal Fabrication and the Old Oldsmobile HQ building: GM to raze 2 plants, Olds office building

  • Hopefully we will get to see some of the actual structure rise this week.
  • I can't wait to see how this plays out and see how much it will actually help. If they can really get things done this could be very big for the communities involved.
  • I can't remember which one is Tom's Antique store, is that the grey one with the metal covered facade?
  • It's nothing fantastic, but it's way better than having that much more parking lot!
  • I asked my dad to try to find out more, besides that I don't think there are many more places to look for info. Lmich, what was that link to, it's just coming up with a login screen.
  • Its good to see this, especially the distribution center expansion, it just means more jobs. Some actual decent entry level jobs.
  • My dad heard at work last week that this was approved by the capitol outlay comittee last Thursday, they also passed a timeline with completion set for 2009 or 20 months.
  • Just FYI, I noticed a model of what looked like a quite tall building in Studio Intrigue's fron display window driving by today, it was hard to see from the road, it is small and all white. At some point i'm going try to get a closer look at it. Sin…
  • I was just by there this morning and it looks like they are starting back on that stairwell they took apart the week before last.
  • This structure is actually leased, so it will count in the office market vacancy reports. However since the majority, if not all the employees moving here will be from State-owned space, it will actually lower the vacancy rate further, but won't hav…
  • Weird huh? It was a stairwell, they had it up to about ten feet. I would assume they discovered some sort of defect, so they had tear it back down.
  • Yeah, I have really got to force myself to go out and take some pictures, between the bad weather and just not having any free time I've gotten behind. So many projects have progressed since anyone here has done a photo update...
  • This is going to look SO nice, I can't wait to see the finished product. ANd Maybe more importantly North Washington will get a real chance at some redevelopment, it ought to be interesting.
  • Since the scope of this is pretty well set now, I wonder where they will go with architecture and the size of the museum and library individually. I hope that Impression 5 will become a state of the art science museum at least on the level of the on…
  • Yeah it was about the Lansing Chamber of Commerce, after 7 days the only way to view LSJ articles is to either pay or view googles cache of the article. Also, they have started building the stairwell/elevator shaft today.
