  • I'm not too impressed by what they have planned. It just feels like such a stab at all the progress that the local cities have made towards getting people to move back to the city. This is just further sprawl, and their hope for high-density is la…
  • Here is the rendering that is on site: My page on Flickr It looks like there is an entrance in the middle of the building on the rendering, but as they have been doing all the site work, it appears that the entrances to the parking will be at …
  • DTN is the developer, and I know KEBS has done some work for it. Also, I believe Callaway Design, Inc. did the design. There is a rendering on site but I haven't been able to find one online.
  • It's proper name is "The Hamptons of Meridian". They already have the foundation poured and curbs in for the parking lot. The buildings should start to rise soon.
  • There is a story today in the LSJ about the Brookfield Plaza renovations: Brookfield Plaza renovations aim for pedestrian-friendly shopping I've gone by and seen the shopping center and it is already looking much better. The sidewalk in front of…
  • Building a $30 million dollar tree house An article published in the Lansing City Pulse about each of the designs.
  • Well, as I went to a couple Lugnuts games in the past month, I can attest to the HUGE sign that is on the Stadium District that says "Condos for Sale", and I am sure anybody who looks at the building can picture what is coming. The front did seem t…
  • This is nice to hear. Thanks ACD.net for investing in Lansing!
  • Yeah, that private lot behind Rice Kitchen will make the new parking lot shape a little weird. But it's up to the owner of that lot to decide what to do with it. I could see it being bought when the former Taco Bell site is demo'd for a new buildi…
  • Another update, the utility house has finished it's move to the park and is now on it's slab.

  • Here are some more pictures: #1: #2: #3: #4: #5: These photos are from the State News article about the competition. Photos are hosted at Flickr
  • I really like #2. They say that at night, #2 will glow, so that could be really cool while walking down Grand River.
  • I really can't make sense of the one by Hadid, the third one. It just doesn't look like a building, more like a decorative sidewalk. On the left side of the picture, you can see some height, but besides that it just doesn't look like a building fr…
  • The designs are respectively attributed to: 1. COOP HIMME(L)BLAU 2. Kohn Pederson Fox Associates PC 3. Zaha Hadid Architects 4. Randall Stout Architects Inc. 5. Morphosis
  • I can't comment on anything that's not public, sorry.
  • Check out this video: http://www.screencast.com/t/xdyIQQ7Gw What do you think? That's Lot 1 they're talking about.
  • I can't say anything specific. But it's good.
  • I want to point everybody to a FREE cool project released today by a local software company, TechSmith. Jing, http://www.jingproject.com, is a really cool tool to take screenshots or videos of your computer screen. This tool could be used to gra…
