Putting the project pages in the first post of each thread may be a good idea. I'll try updating the threads that I've started.

LSJ article from today: Council supports East Michigan Avenue’s revitalization

@Jared I was wondering a few things regarding the site. Is it possible to sticky items here? I was thinking it may help to sticky some threads, at least the General Lansing & East Lansing development threads and either this thread or a new "site…

Thanks, I'm scraping up against the limits of my creativity and SketchUp skills. The project centers around converting that rail line to a road from at least Washington to MLK. The Old drop forge building on the West side of that road would be a new…

@Lymon89 On another note I'd love to solicit your opinion on something I've been working on for a little while (I posted this awhile back in the Off-topic thread also). It's an imaginary project that would redevelop the factory complex at Mt Hope an…

Welcome to the forum, it'll be nice to have an architects opinion here. Just to clarify the St Joe and Washington project I was talking about a few posts ago was this project: I assume you're talking about the old Deluxe Inn site? It's liste…

I'm glad to hear that they quickly got that section of trail reopened, as I am about their proactive maintenance. As we were just discussing these are things I believe we should expect given the passage of the trail millage. I'm not so sure that …

I've thought about something being built over 496 at Washington Ave. I was imagining a parking ramp or a new convention center, but a casino would be very appropriate there also, assuming there'd be no additional legal issues there. It's not unprece…

I think this was the last site plan they showed, it's from 2011:
-
Yes, there are some two floor units, and the yeah it looks like the dark blue on the first floor is the only retail.

The Skyvue site plans begin on page 14 of the August 24th packet. First floor plan: 2nd-8th and 9th floor plans:

The YMCA development is being attempted by a small local real estate firm that has not to my knowledge done anything even remotely of that nature before, I was very surprised when their plans resurfaced a year or two ago. I still kinda doubt they'll…

@gbinlansing, if you're interested in pictures of the old REO plant my first post in the 'Lansing history' thread has some pictures, more from the same source can be found here: Diamond REO Motors plant - Library of Congress

I took a quick look through the packets and didn't see any elevations, only site plans and floor plans. I would agree that this building should be comfortably over 90' to the main roof, I wouldn't be surprised if the highest point is 120' or more.
-
While their feelings are understandable, they really need to lay off, their developments are far less likely to cannibalize each other than they are to eat away at the northern tier developments and the Hannah Lofts/Lodges among others. If these dev…

Good point. With the amount of money now devoted specifically to the trail, it shouldn't be allowed to sit like this for very long at all, repairs should begin almost immediately. Taking care of existing infrastructure has to come first.
-
No problem with pointing out shortcomings, that's part of what the Friends of the Rivertrail group exists to do, along with helping to decide where to put the trails millage money. Judging by how things have went so far, I'm fairly confident that t…
-
Yeah, between the Friends of the Rivertrail group and the new $3.5 million per year trails millage, things are looking up for the Rivertrail. That northward expansion is important, as is a westward expansion from Moores Park. I think they claim 20 m…

Yeah, malls can be great when they replace short sections of side streets in very densely populated areas, but probably never when cutting off a main throughfare like Washington, let alone in 1960's Lansing. Even now, years after removing the mal…

I don't really care for the way they designed the the waterfront by City Market, and if you can mistake their landscaping for unmaintained, overgrown weeds, many others will also. It's not bad but they could of done better, I'd of preferred they kep…
