Sounds good. But I hope they do something interesting to the exterior, adding some windows would be nice. Also I don't know if it's been posted here, but the Famous Taco on Allegan is being turned into a bar/grill.

If thats really their plans they may as well just scrap the whole system, cuts that deep would make CATA virtually worthless. And I fully expect that this millage will fail, people are not interested in paying more taxes at this point.

I'd like to see a breakdown of where most of their funding comes from. If the majority isn't coming from fares, fares need to be raised anyways. CATA Fares are reasonable compared to many other bus systems, they are often cheaper.

Millages haven't done well lately. And with this millage, as I understand it, there will be no real improvements, it's simply an operating millage. That really doesn't help it's cause much. I'd say the chances of this passing are up in the air, but …

I was just thinking the other day how neat it would be for a mid to high-rise "V" shaped building to go where the old 7 eleven is. I think a project on that property is inevitable, and may not be too far off the way things are going.

I don't know what EL's zoning codes mean, but zoning codes in general can be named virtually anything for any reason, and they can mean anything the municipality wants. Thats why they become very confusing if you have to deal with different cities, …

Just FYI, I was by the building yesterday and they had just started to put up a little brick on the Kalamazoo St side.
-
So do they plan on demolishing it? That would suck, it looks like it would be a nice old building with some work.

I'm interested to see how the mixed us building will look, by the description it won't be much smaller than Kalamazoo Gateway.

I don't expect the Frandor area to change much until Frandor itself leads the change, by switching to more of a lifestyle center format. I do see a decent possiblity of mixed use developments going in along Michigan though, and possibly even between…

I would hope that the rendering above is just preliminary. I hope that there is at least a little more to the design.

I think that area could use more apartments like those. They're much better than the dilapidated houses and businesses currently there.

Riverhouse is an all-glass tower. I don't really know what style you would call this, I guess it's mostly modern, with a touch of post-modern. As for my optimism, it's simply a gut feeling. They have been firmly saying 18 floors an "maybe more" t…

I'm betting this will still end up 18 floors anyway, maybe more. Like he said in the article, there are likely many people who don't want to commit until they see actual construction start. It sounds like even if they start construction only saying …

Well evan at that, they should be getting at least $50 million per year interest, that's one good size project per year. That money was donated for new buildings and major improvements, wasn't it?
-
I really like that building. Has anyone heard when MSU is going to begin using that $1 billion+ worth of donations? And are there any ideas as to what kinds of things they will be building?
-
Yes, it is, but the new rendering is still 18 floors. I guess I don't really care, as long as it gets built.
-
Judging from what little we know about this, it sounds like it should be a good project. Keep us updated if you hear any more details.

From LSJ's midday updates: Developers take over Grand Avenue ramp They are still planning to get started this year, with an early 2010 completion. I can't wait to see this project get started!!!

Where are these addresses at exactly?
