With the Third Tier, Association project, Cooley Auditorium and whatever the Boji's are planning, that gives us several MAJOR projects in the works. Not to mention, Stadium District, Capitol View's expansion, Abrams Landing, RiverNorth, Blind School…

In order to make the MDA building decent it would take a rennovation/addition about as extensive as the MEDC building, but it could work. Also an LSJ article reminded me the other day, Washington Sq is going to be reopened through Shiawassee next ye…

Given the name I wonder if this will be a mini-complex of state buildings, you have the Capitol Complex, the Secondary complex and now the "third tier?" Just a possibility...

Just out of curiousity, whos the soutce and do you consider them reliable? My main interest in this project right now is a timeline, I would even be happy to know when renderings will be released.

I watched the city council meeting today and they were saying that the Boji's would actually add three floors to Capitol View, two floors would be for the MDA and would likely be sold to the MDA as an office condo. The Boji's would retain the other …

I just don't see that building being used for residential, or for decent quality commercial in it's current state. If it were completely gutted and reskinned I suppose it could be dcent, but at that point it may as well just be razed. The building i…

I don't get the impression that the MDA building will go to anything, but rather it would be tore down and replaced. It is very poor building in a number of ways. It s set back from the street and only three floors, it also has very poor design. But…

I always figured that if the Lansing Center was expanded they would work out a deal to build a hotel at the same time. I always thought that a new hotel would go great on the site of the Grandview building and the South Grand ramp, something similar…

Can you get any pics of the construction out at MSU, chemistry building and anything else?

I wonder what he means by saying the Association building is "moving along?" I wonder if that means it is actually becoming more definitive or it is simply taking baby steps. I couldn't even imagine what the big announcement may be, but I'm still ve…

I think if floors were to be added to city market it would be better off demolished and rebuilt in a better locaion with a better design. In it's current condition the City Market is no good, in order to draw new customers it needs new and better bu…

The brick on the Michigan Resturaunt association building ended up looking great! It looks like that really old worn brick like you find on a few of the Old Town buildings, somewhat similar to the building next to the fish ladder but a bit darker. T…

I like your idea for link page, whether or not it is seperated out by cities or neighborhoods (although that would add that much more to it.) I think the site is pretty good for now though, all the key things are covered.

Making it look cleaner would be huge. Putting in new windows (mini versions of whats on the MW lofts), painting the interior, putting brighter, "whiter" lighting in and new doors/entrances. Also, covering the the outdoor areas between the wings of t…

It's definately worth a try, I think you should start of with a small "pilot program." When you get it going try to at least get some coverage in the City Pulse, if not the LSJ or local news. I think it may work, but starting off small will minimize…

Looks like we will hear more on the DDA development tomorrow: Lansing to offer tax incentive to Michigan Dental Association

I would assume they will follow throught with the origional design. Probaby fill in the area between floors 8 and 9 then remake that pattern between floors 10 and 11. Then I would assume they will make the sloped part look better.
-
I didn't watch it, but I had heard from my dad the the State was in talks with the Boji's to build additional floors. That probably was a misunderstanding, so having this come from two sources lends to it's credibility. We'll just have to wait and s…

Olds Park was huge for that area. Before if was by far the worst in the city, know as the sin strip. It had extremely high crime, far higher than what is in any neighborhood currently in Lansing. The Stadium District, Abrams Landing and any other fu…

I found this from Cool Cities: Lansing- Economic Development Corporation of Lansing, Gillespie Development – Stadium District: -The Catalyst project is privately developed Pat Gillespie building called the Stadium District building. This is a …
