Mishigami

Was in GR for a brief moment earlier today and decided to snap a few photos of the building myself. Seeing just these few floors erected in person was a lot more impressive than I thought it would be. This building will definitely add a completely different feel to this side of town once it’s complete. And I can also see it being a big “photo spot” too. Downtown GR in general almost feels like a different city in some areas compared to even just a few years ago when I first began to visit.

Thank you! I’ve been quietly following these threads for months. I’m happy be able to contribute to these discussions a bit now! :-)

Agreed. Even if this project has been scaled down significantly, ultimately the infill will still be much more than worth it. It may not be the iconic game-changer development many of us had hoped for, but the architecture and function of this space to me will still be more than agreeable and it will definitely help create for a more dispersed and healthy street traffic that extends a bit further beyond the downtown core (Monroe area and Pearl St). Grand Rapids is beginning to look a bit more like a fully developed city as time goes by, albeit on a much smaller scale. But there is still so much progress that can be made, which I am excited to watch in the future.
