  • 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.
  • Jared, I created project pages for both projects, just FYI to get them posted. Also, you may want to create a "completed projects" link at the top and/or bottom of the list, and move completed projects there, right now thats only the University Cent…

  • I don't think any of these are the "Association Project," the one thing we did know about that project is that it's an office building for state assocations, hence it's name. As for this new project, I'm assuming it will be for the site their mak…
  • I think both of these guys are proabably capable of pulling this off, I'm just not sure they have enough of their own money to make it happen, even if they do getting a bank to loan you the rest is a chore with little development experience. I've…
  • Last I heard they were negotiating with the city on that. After seeing the completion date in yesterday's LSJ say "Unkown," I won't be holding my breath on this. It's sort of sad because Lansing needs a project like this, a residential high-rise, to…
  • Ahh, yes it's because of a mistake I made on the first couple models, and had to keep on repeating. Turn the "Terrain" feature off on Google Earth and you should see the models.

  • Heres the a link, a 26 mb zip file: Download link It contains both the Google Sketch Up and Earth files for each building. Some buildings are duplicated, for instance the Ottawa Station, Capitol View and N Grand Ramp, each have a pre/post rehab …

  • I signed up to get the Lansing city council agenda packets and it I found this: An EDC meetings minutes where the Bojis spoke about Chase Bank moving to 5/3's spot and moving the Majority Resturaunt into the old Chase Bank Building on Washington. I…
  • That would be fine, its about a 56 mb file.

  • They are Google Sketch Up files, I think I can upload them to some kind of database for downloading, I'll check it out.

  • There is now steel going up on the site, on the building facing Mt. Hope.
