I pulled it from this: Spartan Fund pdf There's also renderings for the new golf building and another office renovation to Breslin.

I found this rendering of the proposed Breslin Center Pavilion, there's not much info on it.

My dad talked about that tunnel on Michigan before, he grew up in the area and used it from time to time. I remember him saying that it was still there, they just filled it in. BTW, I think that's the best picture I've seen of the old post office.

It says in their proposal that they're creating a two floor lobby and to me the lobby rendering definitely looks to be two floors. Now that you mention sitting on designs, I wonder if Eyde's proposal could of been originally designed as a taller …

The only exterior changes to Capitol View I see are the addition of an awning, signage at the top of the building and some of the first floor facade may change. They will also carve out a two floor lobby. I fully expect a similar building w…

In the pdf attached to that LSJ article there are several renderings of the other proposals. Boji's proposal for the DCH office building, labeled as "mixed use." I thought the City owned this land, but apparently Boji got ahold of it somehow, or …

I can't wait to see what happens with this, I never did hear about a timeline on this project.

Interesting. I found their Facebook page: Skate City Rink If they do it right I think they should get good business. There's not a lot to do on the southside and from their Fb page it looks like there will be more than just skating.

Sparrow announced the new cafeteria I mentioned a before. The design is more or less the same as in the rendering I found: Sparrow unveils plans for new cafeteria

Regarding 927 E Grand River, I saw an elevation in the council packet or somewhere and it looked pretty bad. I hope they deny this request, I don't care if they develop that block as a large building or individual properties, but there should be max…

I'm still not a fan of the setback but at least it looks better than their west wing addition. As for the height, part of me thinks that they will build it to allow for a vertical expansion, it would make perfect sense in this case and I'm not sure …

All of those properties are within the footprint of the main building in that site plan. The rerouting of the streets throws things off when looking at it, for reference notice the street behind the main building is an extended Albert Ave.

This building would be an infinitely better location than those run down, forgotten about storefronts on Southland. The area would have to be bustling for those to fill in with any high value businesses. The EDS location however, would be as good a …

According to the property information page at the link; 100, 124, 128, 130, 136, and 140 W Grand River along with 341 Evergreen are owned by the same entity, which is listed as City Center Two Project LLC. Property records aren't always totally up t…

I've always thought Krogers should take over the EDS building as it's a better location, it would also allow them to renovate it while staying open in their current building which is getting pretty rundown. I would think it will be some kind of reta…

I found the real estate listing for that building and posted in on the last page of this thread, that was back in August, I'm surprised it's just now up for rezoning. Here's a site plan from CPIX: Site plan (pdf) As for the building you're talksi…

Not surprising to see this. The move should have very little effect on downtown in the short term, but it would seem that this would make an expansion of the building a little more likely at some point in the future. BTW, I doubt the City has for…

A drive through with space for six vehicles could mean a Sonic, it would be a vastly better location than Penn and 96. The article is very vague about everything else, just saying that they plan multiple new out buildings.

They sorta work as an elevator for ships/boats: Locks - Wikipedia

I think it's wishful thinking for the foreseeable future. The dams stand in the way, and if they weren't dams they'd be rapids, either of which would require locks to get around. I used to think it would be cool if the Grand River were made navigabl…
