It took me awhile to get around to it, but I finally outlined the areas completed at the beaumont on the siteplan. The red outlines buildings that are completed, the green the one that is under construction and the yellow outlines the entire site ar…

I seen both buildings today. I really think that the Capitol Phramacy building is going to be nice, getting those new windows in is really going to help the look of that building. But I'm really suprised with that Frisbees pizza building, I thought …

Yeah, the concrete residential buildings where the walls and floors are cement offer excellent oundproofing between units, although the floor-to-floor sound insulation is the same for concrete and steel. One thing I still don't get is how it is that…

I think that the name "northtown" really hurt Old Town, it associated with the "Northside." People from out of town never looked to favorably at the northside. The "Stadium DIstrict," gives identity to an area that could be referred to as either Dow…

I hope to see all those places moved off of Museum Dr some day and that area redeveloped into some mid rise apartments or condos. I think getting the museums into higher quality/higher visiblity buildings could greatly help the city and so could the…

Thats one thing I never really thought about, sometimes just giving an area an identity can help spur development. For a closer example look at the Heartside District in GR.

The reason I care so much is largely because it makes for a much impressive building in the construction stage when it is concrete or steel. However for tenants in the building a concrete or steel structure is extremely important for sound, and to a…

It's nice to hear this will be a steel structure, I think that adds a lot to a building, especially when there will be condos in it.

Do they have any specifics of what they are considering for the Stadium Project grant.
-
The Stadium Project I think was largely spawned because of the Stadium District development, if it weren't for that I doubt the Cool Cities grant would have been granted, if the city would have even applied for it.

It was a relatively small repairable fire, it's accross from the Temple club. The good thing about these older "rowbuildings" is that they can be rebuild after fires with relative ease, the outer brick structure is what supports them.

There is quite a bit more equipment on site today, hopefully they take out that mound along Michigan soon. Lmich can you change the status of this building on Emporis to "under construction."

The ramp has something like 5-10 years of life on it maximum. So it is definately within range of demolition, but of course so is S Grand, S Capitol and the old part of the N Grand ramp. The city has to create a parking master plan because all these…

I assumed that he was supporting their townhouses up on Larch, it's a bit unclear. However, 319 E Grand River would appear to be a bad location for townhouses, that location should retain ground floor retail if redeveloped.

Thats all I've ever been able to count from the outside also, but I do know that there are 6 floors above the origional expansion. So whether it's 9 or 10 floors there is still one more to be built.

There is one floor to go and a pretty substantial elevator tower(s) equal to 2-2 1/2 floors. The origional building was supposed to be four. They said the building will be 11 total floors, including the basement, and that nightime rendering shows…

There are two strips of the rowhouses completed, about 10 or 12 single family homes completed, some occupied and one apartment building completed (one on the left.) This project is massive and will be done in phases. It is between 1/8 and 1/4 done n…

The Michigan Resturaunt Association Building, not too far from finishing:
