I'm glad to see that this project is for real. It will be nice to see it get done.
-
One thing that disappoints me is that their top choice site plan has the parking lot facing the Shiawassee & Capitol intersection, the most prominent intersection of the Oliver Towers block. Site Plan C is better I think, but it should be mirror…

A couple of construction updates:

And this would be one of the dumbest projects to reject, it will turn a relatively large, blighted area into an important extension of downtown.
-
Probably something much like the apartments right next to there, or maybe something like what was being proposed for the Dollar site. A 3-4 floor building with ground floor retail. I think Michigan Ave will continue to get denser and denser working …

I'm for the library millage myself. I believe the package of improvements they put together is great, and well worth the money spent. With that being said this is going to be a hard millage to pass.

I don't know of anything specific, but if it appears work is going on someone must be moving in. Now I'm really curious as to who it is.

I don't think the development would feel complete if the Dyslexia Institute stayed, and I don't think Gillespie will leave it there, given a choice. I definately don't want to see that house tore down, either. I really wish they would move it somewh…

Also, has anyone noticed that it looks like Gillespie has aquired all the property for Ballpark North except the old house and the City's Garage? Everything else appears to be vacant now.

I seen something in last weeks building permits about some repairs to that property, not sure what though. I just wish they would tear it down and put it on the market.

Some pictures of the renderings in EDC's window:

I managed to get rid of most of the glare; here's DBI: Cedar St School

I already have a picture of it, it doesn't look great through the glass. It's on a work computer so I'll have to post it tomorrow.
-
It was on their construction website as if the work has already started, so I don't know.
-
Just FYI, DBI is going to be rehabbing their building at 912 E Michigan. They have a rendering in the EDC's window, and the building permit was listed in todays LSJ, the most significant change is that there will be windows on the third floor.

I found a rendering of the Recycling center: Also, the Cyclotron:

I don't either, it always seems that banks and insurance companies have the largest, most prominent downtown buildings. Just think if all, or most of the banks and insurance companies around here were downtown. Downtown would have so many more big b…
-
If the cab company is holding out the city could use eminent domain, since their property is wanted for the new city lot, not the development itself. I doubt that will happen though, it would be horrible PR.
-
MSUFCU built such a nice building, in such a horrible location. They could of built downtown Lansing or East Lansing, it would of made for a pretty good sized building.

I don't beleive that is the issue. What I had heard was that he wanted to get going on Ottawa @ Butler, then once that got on track, he would get going on this. The impression that I got was that everything is basically in place for the project to m…
