Jared, I didn't see your comment earlier. You whipped that out! I appreciate your thoughts on it a agree w all your points. Sorry Sabatoa, I read that wrong about the 25 waterfalls. Twenty Five waterfalls along the river sounds amazing! I'm all …

this is the crux of it. We're ready to do 280 Million dollar worth of construction gymnastics to alleviate a water problem. THE BEST THING WE COULD DO FOR WATER HEALTH IS TO NOT PAVE OVER 300 MORE ACRES OF PERVIOUS SURFACE. ECOLOGY 101. Anyone that …

I'm with you!!

What's so fascinating about this construction? I don't get it. I'm also not seeing it live..... What is unusual about this? Is anyone on here a construction manager?

Jared, the way I understood these drain projects is that the money comes from taxes levied specifically at the property owners within the watershed/drain area. Not necessarily from County tax payers at large. I might be wrong though...

Gb: should Frandor be striving to be Eastwood? That's a really low bar.

michmatters: "It's crazy in hindsight that the city allowed the developers to develop the Frandor area on what was literally flood-prone wetlands." What's crazier is that we're allowing them to do it again. Don't you see the irony?

He's lying. It's that simple. I know Lindemann and think he's fantastic and his heart is in the right place and has done amazing things for this region. His legacy is firmly cemented, far beyond Bernaro or Hollister. But he's a total salesman. Sabat…

The Landmark has a great presence on Grand River. The scale works well, cropping up above the tree canopy with the two wings acting as arms, embracing campus.

LOL, you're right.

There's a great little modernist bank on the SE corner of this intersection. I hope they don't mess with that, even if it doesn't totally fit with the 'new urbanist' look of this rendering.

Whoa, I went and looked at the garage facade closer -- it's actually really nice! There's a subtle detail where some of the vertical windows are boxed out in pairs and it gives a nice asymmetrical rhythm along the length of the building. Is this sam…

Oooh, surprisingly nice! I don't think I had seen these before, so thanks for posting. I love the green roof-scape. I'm really glad they have a cut-through on the street level, because this is a really long building/block. I think the street trees w…

This is a mammoth building. It's a little frightening, but I'm going to withhold judgment until it's complete. It will likely kill some of the afternoon sunlight in Ann St Plaza (as GB has been mentioning). But I'd like to think the extra influx of …

I was back in town for a brief visit on Sunday, I drove around this area on my way out of town. I guess I think this is actually a pretty great location for a hospital .....Hospitals require such large footprints that it would probably be more of a …

Lastly, the views from these new apt buildings out onto campus must be stunning. From the parking garages, campus looks like a giant carpet (tree canopy) w occasional buildings and landmarks cropping up. Evryone should check out this view if you've …

I guess I'm happy with the look of this and definitely happy to see it finally underway. We can all breath a 10-year sigh of relief. I think this project has good urban design sensibility. I like the smaller building -- it harkens back to some of…
