I'd though it was used minimally to some extent but it does look like it sat with no functions for a decade or so. Maybe it wasn't such a liability in a downtown setting or maybe they had plans for functions, like the cooling towers, and kept it for…

My discussions with an Electrical Engineer in power distribution ensured that it will be razed if it's not reused in some fashion. Guessing it's too much of a liability to let something like that sit vacant. When it's decommissioned, something…

I'd love to see something done that maintains the smoke stacks and repurposes that building, but I sadly don't think any developer would be interested. Architecturally, the only interesting part is the original plant that has been built over throug…

As far as the extended stay hotels, I have family who travel a lot as consultants and often utilized extended stay hotels if it was short term enough that a corporate apartment didn't make sense but it was longer than a typical hotel. It's definite…

I was there last Friday myself and took some family who moved out of state 15 some years ago. We did a guided tour and walked around the grounds after. They were just as impressed with the improvement to the grounds, the new addition, the impeccab…

That seems like a very odd location for something that size and also very out of place, in my opinion. I'd much rather see something like that more towards the downtown core...

Wow, the rendering is a lot better than what I was expecting as well! I expected a massive pole barn or pre engineered metal building. Let's hope the finished product actually is something decent!

So much better than a parking lot. If only we can get this to happen to more of them!

I'm right there with you @hood. I hate being part of a project that doesn't at least consider historically accurate windows. There are sometimes legit reasons. I often find that some older schools end up switching off of steam heat, so there is a…

Small item, but growing eyesore. Laux Construction posted on LinkedIn that they will be doing renovations on the pedestrian bridge connecting the Radisson to the Lansing Center. Not sure how to share the post, so I thought I'd try the screensh…

This is awesome news, I love Raising Canes!

I think that's likely what we'll get, but I hope I'm wrong too. We really could use some middle housing. The housing stock in Lansing is pretty dismal, but it's hard to add/improve the stock when the property values are so low/affordable. At leas…

Based on that price, I wouldn't hold your breath on decent houses. While it's a decent price for Lansing on existing homes, I can't believe they're able to build them that cheap. Maybe the land will be dirt cheap, that will help, but construction …

I remember the parks being maintained a lot better during my childhood. While things are mowed and kept up for the most part now, they seemed very manicured. Now, not so much. Frances park is always beautifully maintained which makes sense for wh…

I haven't been out that way, but could it be Lift Build construction? With how quickly it's coming together, I was curious. I know its newer and I believe created by Barton Mallow. Basically they build the top floor, lift it up, build the next, a…

@hood, Studio Intrigue had a release on LinkedIn a couple days ago with additional renderings and their logo on them...its safe to say it's Studio Intrigue. With the size of the project, I doubt they're partnering with any other firm either. A…

I don't want to be too pessimistic yet either, but Studio Intrigue's designs have been pretty lack luster and disappointing for years now. I'll just wait and see what comes as things develop further. I wish the area would start utilizing some …

@gbdinlansing, as someone who drives through that area of MLK frequently, and a nearby resident, I would love to see them do something a little more visually pleasing. Given the fact the railroad is right along the riverbank makes me think that the…

I just wanted to speak up for the architects, because we would rather be working on different projects, but these we can copy and paste and make money on. Well, the developer I worked with was not the most knowledgeable, in my opinion, but he was s…

@hood, regarding your wish that architects would stop repeating that design, I'm 100% with you. However, it's generally not the architect to blame. It's the client, usually a developer, who is trying to build as cheap as possible, use quality mate…
