  • If I were to change a couple things about the Beitler, it's that I would punch out more windows on the west side of the north-south facing tower and I would keep the public plaza but cut out a loading/drop-off lane on Michigan Ave.
  • All of the proposals look bad to me. They all remove the public square (Beitler puts a circle drive in it), and none of them answer the question to why these can't be built elsewhere (I assume the answer is that the city will give more money for thi…
  • Oh thanks! I see it now. Yeah I was looking in the wrong area.
  • Huh, I still can't see the airstrip on the map. I'm looking at the dark purple area, the blue area above it, and the orange area above that.
  • It is! I can't believe that it sold in 2015 for only $34,400. I wish I could have bought it

  • So today's the deadline for City Hall proposals. Think we'll hear anything tonight or tomorrow?
  • Thanks for finding this presentation. Yeah, it seems I was misunderstood. I can't see anybody wanting to travel down the "yellow" portion of Townsend Street as part of one of the loops. It's just parking lots on both sides with no sun protection and…
  • It's worth mentioning, since the last large update to this site in December 2016, you can now upload pictures directly to the site when posting, and they'll stay up for as long as this site stays around (which I hope to be forever )
  • From https://develop.metrolansing.com/discussions/discussion/comment/8124/#Comment_8124, Those include viewing and fishing platforms along the Grand River, a walkway from Washington Avenue to Townsend Street, loop trails connecting the existin…
  • Was there supposed to be an extension of the river trail for this? I thought when this was first proposed BWL offered to build a river trail on the north side of the river in this part. I don't see it in the Final Design Tour.
  • Demolition of the buildings has been pushed back at least a month. The Michigan Strategic Fund did not put this project on its agenda for their August 22nd meeting. Their next meeting is September 26. http://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news…
  • Yeah that's a good point. Maybe waiting so there's less scrutiny before the proposal goes before a board/commission?
  • I'm expecting a proposal will come in at the 11th hour, deliberately so no other developer has time to look at it and modify their own before submitting. The timeline for this is very aggressive, and I believe it's due to two reasons: 1, Virg doe…
  • Yeah, looks to be better materials than some of Gillespie's developments. I still wish we could come up with something better than a large surface parking lot in front. There's barely any trees in the middle of the parking lot, and nothing really to…
  • Wow so cool, you are a celebrity @gdbinlansing! Yeah, kids don't spend as much time outdoors anymore, and there's a lot more rules about where cars can be parked etc. I wish people spent more time outside, we've got a great climate here that has all…
  • This video says "Building A" is still not complete,
  • Great pics, thanks for sharing! Are these supposed to be move-in ready for the Fall semester? That's rapidly approaching, I wonder what the timeline is for the buildings behind this one.
  • Thank you! I was able to find the property using your help @sabatoa. @The_Lansing_Magnate, I really like the sign (Crown Cleaners?) in the last picture you posted on the 1926 building.
