New Construction and Renovations in the Heartside District
Prankster replied to MJLO's topic in Grand Rapids
“Grocery store”…ah yes, the ambiguous promise that all developers make, but rarely produce. -
Add Mertens to that category too

Glad to see this finally get the green light. My daughter worked on the design, and they were having a helluva time designing it around the power generator.

I agree with you. But unfortunately, in regards to most commodities, the supply chain issues will take years to get corrected.

Good God, every time someone mentions that the preservationists lose their minds over losing the Calder painting on top of the county building that no one can see.

I remember going shopping there with my mom when it was Atlantic Mills.

When have we ever seen anything move quickly in this town? For good or bad, the city leaders have always been a deliberate and cautious bunch of folks.

Not being political, but West Michigan is not a UAW stronghold. -
In absence of fact, we speculate. And with the group we have on this site, it is usually pretty accurate.

Whatever the use may be, it sounds like they will run it like the McKay Tower, which they also own. When they bought it a few years ago, they said that they were trying to diversify their holdings and investments away from just gambling. Not sure what the final product will be for the BOB, but it will probably be used as a similar investment.

It will be interesting to see if it gets value engineered down to the 12 story height that so many of it’s predecessors did.

What iteration are they on now? Seems like they built and are re-building Rosa Parks Circle in the time it is taking to start building Lyon Square.

Parking problem downtown - too much of it? Not enough?
Prankster replied to GRDadof3's topic in Grand Rapids
not sure how having a parking lot is good for the area. -
For us with bad memories, where is this parking lot?
-
Yeah, that ain’t going to happen

They were opposed because downtown was just starting to gain traction as an entertainment district, and they feared a new casino in the metro area would siphon off the people going downtown.

I may be mistaken, but I thought the Van Andel arena is too small to host NCAA tournaments. At least it was when it first open.

Looks like Gazelle Sports will be opening next May at 52 Monroe Center.

Is this an actual plan or a wish?
-
Seems like the new Brann’s building set the bar low for this stretch of Leonard, and this is just following suit.
-
For the GRCC fieldhouse, they have put a lot of money into renovating the interior. My daughter plays basketball for them and she said that everything is new with the court, etc.
-
A diner would be a good addition to that stretch of road. It adds some more variety.
-
Ah yes, the increase traffic and decrease home value pushback. A time honored and golden standard of NIMBY arguments.

So basically a walk up without any seats?
