The rendering looks pretty good, although I'd rather see them leave the S Grand Ramp as-is, so that it can be tore down for another development in the near future.
-
That is great. I really hope they they consider putting in some ground floor retail further to north and/or along the freeway.

Being someone who is persuing a development project just around the corner from Stadium District I have to disagree with this "only use Lansing companies" philosophy. The main (if not only) options for a project this size in Lansing are Christman, G…

I really hope they continue to redevelop this area. This area is sort of an eyesore and having nicer and/or larger buildings viewable from the freeway (not only here but all around Lansing) can really help to improve our image to people passing thro…

I shop and eat downtown when I can, when I get the money I plan to move downtown, and I just got a new job downtown, so I consider that a decent track record.

Granger, Christman and Clark all do work nationally. In fact Granger is GC for the new Marriot in Grand Rapids, and I'll bet they used their own people from Lansing to do at least some of the work. On the Stadium District I'm sure Fryling will end u…

I agree that Bernero is taking too much of the blame for many things. The owner of that shoe store seems to be a nice guy and everything, but he must understand that the CSO project is something that has to be done and has been running on schedule w…

Welcome concerned taxpayer, its always nice to have a new voice. On the subject of why there are so many out of town workers there, I think it is simply because Gillespie chose to use Fryling a Grand Rapids general contractor, and they brought in…

Me either, feel free to talk casually about your opinions and ideas, thats about all us frequent posters do.

They are making a lot of progress on the steel, I wouldn't be suprised to see the entire eastern half of the structure completed this week, maybe even started on the other half.
-
I like the new design best, with the exception of the windows on the corner, I think they should do something to dress them up a bit.

I've seen the number of guests get real high quite a few times, even into the 30's I thought. To all those who view the site, but haven't joined or don't comment. PLEASE JOIN, and take part in the discussion, we would all love to have your opinio…

I counted notches for two more floor plates and the roof, as far as I can tell all 4 floors are accounted for. However I was counting while at a stoplight so I can't be sure I'm right. I'll be by there again today I'll recount to make sure.

They have 3 of the uprights going the full height of the building on the Larch side. It seems a little shorter than I imagined, but still of a respectable height.
-
Not to be too harsh, but it llooks like trash. I think it will atcually detract from the already bland look in front of city hall.

Lmich, I would assume that either the info off the agenda is the most recent, or the tax credits are transferable to different properties the MDA may consider. I sure hope that the MDA moves to an expanded Capitol View.
-
I'll be glad to see a Famous Taco downtown again, they are one of my two favorite resturaunts. Also, they can better sustain business because of deliveries and they are open unitl 4 on the weekends, which will help the downtown bar crowds. As for…

I don't know how to post photos directly from Flickr, but check what used to be on the site of the Deluxe Inn: Riverside Motor Inn

Supposedly there is a wine bar considering moving into the Stadium District, its not for-sure yet, and I'm not sure exactly what that is. I do not beleive it's related to the liquor license as I do not beleive its that far along and furthermore woul…

According someone I spoke with in the know, the lender on Capitol View would not allow additional floors to be built on the structure, not a money problem or anything, they just didn't want it done for whatever reason. He said that they were looking…
