  • There is one floor to go and a pretty substantial elevator tower(s) equal to 2-2 1/2 floors. The origional building was supposed to be four. They said the building will be 11 total floors, including the basement, and that nightime rendering shows…
  • There are two strips of the rowhouses completed, about 10 or 12 single family homes completed, some occupied and one apartment building completed (one on the left.) This project is massive and will be done in phases. It is between 1/8 and 1/4 done n…
  • The Michigan Resturaunt Association Building, not too far from finishing:
  • A couple pics of the progress: From the Capitol Ramp:
  • A pan of the Stadium District from the park at the sites rear: Site prep appears to be well underway, now that there is equipment onsite I would expect the project to begin to move forward at a steady pace.
  • A picture of the Mercantile Bank building, the exterior is nearly finished (not really the best angle):
  • A panorama, one of the buildings with Ground floor commercial is nearing completion and another regular apartment building is going up:
  • A picture of the site looking Northwest from the Captiol Ramp today:
  • There is now a web cam looking towards the University Center: Live Web Cam
  • Where did you find that at? I can't seem to find any real detailed info on the site. I heard some rumors about MSU investigating "alternative transportation" as an option, but it was just that, a rumor. I'm not even sure of the source, but if MSU…
  • Jared, I seen an article in the State News that talks about an MSU Construction Master Plan. I was wondering if you had any idea on how to get a copy/download of this, since you seem to have some connection with the State News.
  • I looked in while driving down Cedar today, and site prep has begun. It looks like they have removed the curbs and have started removing the asphalt. It looked like they had already ground all the pavement down.
  • Thats good to hear, keep us updated as to when the construction actually begins.
  • I just went by it and couldn't see anything of note, but it was dark and snowing, the CSO equipment also blocked the view. I may be by there again tomorrow, in the daytime.
  • That looks interesting. It's nice to see a second rendering confirm that there will be a walkway to the black mirror glass wing of the hospital. I really hope that they follow through with remodling the entire length of the building where the old lo…
  • I seen a piece of equipment today next to the construction trailer at the rear of the lot today, once again away from the CSO stuff. It may have been a pavement scraper or something. Also, when by there later I noticed another, larger piece of equip…
  • My dad said that he heard the State is in talks with the Boji's about adding those extra floors to Capitol View. He said he doesn't know which department would use the space, he assumes that the state may want to move the remainder of the dept of co…
  • One of many GM stories in todays business section of the LSJ:What will General Motors do with all of that extra land?

  • I haven't seen it, but I'm actually a bit dissapointed that it was rennovated. I would of rather seen the building remain empty until redevelopment was possible. I would really like to see as many of the one story downtown buildings done away with a…
