Yeah, I think that would work well enough. We should probably get rid of or somehow archive the project pages though. What prompted me to say something was noticing some errors in my writing on them, it doesn't really look good as an "official" p…

Yeah, even in my lifetime the river has gotten much cleaner, largely due to CSO work. I've heard many people say how bad the paint smell from Fisher Body was, I'm glad the new factories don't seem to emit any smells at all. Not that these ranking…

I'd be happy to do the same thing I did for the Outfield in other threads, but I don't know how to go about it. I don't want to just go around hijacking peoples first posts, I'm assuming you can't insert a post at the top of a thread right?

Frandor and the old strip malls are rough in spots, maybe most even most spots. I expect the smaller properties will start to be redeveloped here and there, it's hard to say how many will go to being multi floor or mixed use though. I suspect that t…

I imagine living in that area was noisy at times with at least three drop forges operating so close to each other. Now only the one on Dunlap is still drop forge, and it hardly seemed to be running when I was regularly in that area from about 2-4 ye…

And I've realized I've only started one of the recent project threads, The Outfield. I redid that initial post to make it more of a landing page for the project. I may attempt to do the same with the Sparrow page that I started.

Putting the project pages in the first post of each thread may be a good idea. I'll try updating the threads that I've started.

@Jared I was wondering a few things regarding the site. Is it possible to sticky items here? I was thinking it may help to sticky some threads, at least the General Lansing & East Lansing development threads and either this thread or a new "site…

Thanks, I'm scraping up against the limits of my creativity and SketchUp skills. The project centers around converting that rail line to a road from at least Washington to MLK. The Old drop forge building on the West side of that road would be a new…

@Lymon89 On another note I'd love to solicit your opinion on something I've been working on for a little while (I posted this awhile back in the Off-topic thread also). It's an imaginary project that would redevelop the factory complex at Mt Hope an…

Welcome to the forum, it'll be nice to have an architects opinion here. Just to clarify the St Joe and Washington project I was talking about a few posts ago was this project: I assume you're talking about the old Deluxe Inn site? It's liste…

I'm glad to hear that they quickly got that section of trail reopened, as I am about their proactive maintenance. As we were just discussing these are things I believe we should expect given the passage of the trail millage. I'm not so sure that …

I've thought about something being built over 496 at Washington Ave. I was imagining a parking ramp or a new convention center, but a casino would be very appropriate there also, assuming there'd be no additional legal issues there. It's not unprece…

I think this was the last site plan they showed, it's from 2011:

Yes, there are some two floor units, and the yeah it looks like the dark blue on the first floor is the only retail.

The Skyvue site plans begin on page 14 of the August 24th packet. First floor plan: 2nd-8th and 9th floor plans:

The YMCA development is being attempted by a small local real estate firm that has not to my knowledge done anything even remotely of that nature before, I was very surprised when their plans resurfaced a year or two ago. I still kinda doubt they'll…

@gbinlansing, if you're interested in pictures of the old REO plant my first post in the 'Lansing history' thread has some pictures, more from the same source can be found here: Diamond REO Motors plant - Library of Congress

I took a quick look through the packets and didn't see any elevations, only site plans and floor plans. I would agree that this building should be comfortably over 90' to the main roof, I wouldn't be surprised if the highest point is 120' or more.
