  • I didn't hear anything about it. I doubt it's a major problem though. They have a video tour of the project up also: Kalamazoo Gateway Tour
  • I guess the attention its getting is helping to outweigh the design. Hopefully all the exposure actually does some good.
  • There was a site plan for the MSP HQ included in this weeks City Council packet. Also, Lmich, the address will be 333 S Grand if you can fix that in Emporis.
  • I like concept 1, it's a poor rendering but it looks like the final design would be decent. It would also really create a nice dense feel on that block. I don't like concept 2 at all though. The retail barely faces any street, and the ramp is an odd…
  • At the very least GM could put out an RFP, just for the off chance someone responds. Theres no excuse to hoard the property if someone out there could be willing to redevelop it.

  • And this garage will really open the door for more high-density, mid to high rise development in that immdediate area, which is a great area for downtown to expand into.
  • Any other details on progress or anything on Coleman Corners and Abood's project?
  • I would assume it's not a final design, but it looks like it will add some decent height to that stretch.
  • I found some renderings and site plans for the proposed lcc ramp and classroom building. They are from the Campus Master Plan. Outline of new classroom building to be 4 floors/70,000 sq ft, with a bridge over Shiwassee from the A&S building o…
  • I sort of think that LCC will go ahead with building their new ramp on the University Center property. The N Capitol Ramp is near the end of it's usable life, on one hand it would allow them room to expand in the future, but they would be buying an …
  • If he doesn' the city would likely allow him to move forward. Then the city could take the property under emminent domain, or they could just deal with less parking.
  • I was just thinking of something else I expect to happen in 2008. I think there will be something announced regarding the Knapps building, I've heard a rumor or two, I think somethings up.
  • I can't understand why anyone would be encouraging them to leave up a huge, obsolete factory next door to them. Especially when they have an opprotunity to see the properties get redeveloped, even if not in the immediate future.

  • I seen that before, I guess I'd actually have to see it get built to know if I like or not.
  • I think that the design is horrible. It means that this new museum will go unnoticed just like the current one. I think it's really really plain and boring. And with this design chosen I can say I don't care about this project either way anymore.
  • I can't wait to see what happens to these sites. Now with these two places coming down there is a HUGE swath of land right in the middle of the city. I just hope they don't do an industrial park or something.

  • Wow, this is really sudden: GM poised to raze Craft Centre, Metal Center

  • It's a touchy market because nobody knows when the limit will be reached. Right now developers are simply filling pent-up demand, who knows how many units can be absorbed into the market. I seen in the LSJ some time ago that a company that did a sur…
  • I thought I heard that there were some talks about a new hockey arena, any idea if it's true.
  • I think the two developments will appeal to very different people though. Ottawa @ Butler is meant to appeal to a wider variety of people, including families and more traditional suburban dwellers. Kalamazoo gateway is targeted more towards urban dw…
