  • I think it would be relatively easy to do whatever design you want, just cut out the concrete between the columns and put a new curtain-wall facade on it. It has tall floors and its an extremely strong structure.
  • I'm now pretty confident that this thing will happen. The only question is how large and how fast.
  • Someone got a nice arial photo of downtown: http://flickr.com/photos/15685633@N08/1805925821/ Looking at the SBC Building I notice that the columns all rise above the roof as if it can support more floors. It would be nice to see that expanded, n…
  • I think the fact that Grooters is pitching in on this is impressive and could be a sign of greater things to come. Their pulling off River House in GR, I take their involvment as a sign of confidence about downtown and the possibility of another dev…
  • I'd assume they removed for replacement, not to remove it for good. That antenna space is worth good money.
  • There is now equipment on site. There is a Clark Construction trailer and a piece of a crane. Theres also holes in the parking lot that look like they were drilling.
  • I haven't heard anything, I'm really not expecting to hear anything for a little while, maybe six months or so.
  • I agree, and a good sign that the Mobile will likely be developed is the fact that it hasn't been reopened as a gas station. I see the area between Michigan & Shiwassee from Cedar to Penn to be redeveloped someday. I think we will likely see Mic…
  • Thats been there for awhile now, I'm just not much of a sub guy. I'm still really, really curious if the Boji's are going to replace the storefront windows though.
  • Welcome to the forum Spider, I wish I was going to be moving into Stadium District. I hope you choose to participate in our forums in the future, we're always happy to have another opinion on things.
  • I'm still dissapionted that MSU is spending so much money on their GR campus, that could have been in Lansing, we need it. We don't have 2-3 multi-billionaire philanthropist to throw money at numerous non and for-profit investments, we need all the …
  • I'm still torn on whether or not I want to see this built. On one hand I want to see $45 million invested downtown, I want to see the extra 500 workers, I want this parking lot developed. However, this project will still leave a lot of surface parki…

  • A forumer over on UP posted this link: Kalamazoo Gateway A City Pulse story on this development: City’s third development shot reaches the green
  • There are not enough spots to build a few 2-3 floor ramps while still having enough spaces to meet current and future need. There are really only a few decent places to build on, the land behind Clara's up to those condos, the land across Shiwassee …
  • I seen in an article the other day that he was having a dispute with his insurance company.
  • They need a relatively large parking garage for this area, something at least 600 spaces for both the new developments and Olds Park, and also for future developments.
  • They said they were in talks with at least one bar, I haven't heard any more on it. I really would expect at least one bar/resturaunt and wouldn't be at all suprised if their were a second one.
  • LSJ Midday Update - New life coming to vacant downtown lot I'm liking the look of this project, it's setback a bit further from the street than what I would like. I really, really like the timeline, mid 2009 completion, that means construction sh…
  • Nice, it appears to be on the larger end of what I expected to see for this site. Also will be LEED certified. What I would really like would be for it to not be postmodern, I'd really like to see some modern or ultra-modern architecture.
