RiversideGR

Grand Action 2.0 has a booklet posted on their website that had some renderings I hadn't seen before.... Grand+Rapids+Soccer+Stadium+Full+Case+For+Support.pdf (squarespace.com)

That is a pretty sexy building, I like how there are so many windows since the view should be pretty nice from there. any update on timeline? edit: I just looked on google earth and the brick matches the Sun Title building next door which is nice.

EDIT: I was wrong, but can’t remove the post. It’s still for sale. Choo choo grill post indicating that someone is buying the property…

There is a new sheltered transit stop installed in front of the Lofts on Grove apartments. Nice to see.

I think it is great that we are getting more options and I'm sure people (especially families) will utilize it. It took me a while to realize that I don't enjoy eating heavy foods before a flight...I don't feel great after and the passengers in the seats next to me also won't appreciate it. I love Freddy's but it's something I eat in the privacy of my own home when nobody is there to see me cramming fries into my mouth between bites of my burger. I had a good salad at the Aletitude spot in the new terminal recently. It is hard to say how far out that new space will extend based on that rendering, but it looks something like this:

I’m trying to imagine the meltdown in some of those west side neighborhood facebook groups if they came back and announced that it would actually be twice the size of the initial proposal

I’m having a hard time believing it would happen, but I would be very excited if it did!

I really want GR to get a high-end sushi spot like the ones that you see in bigger cities. It isn't anything "out there", but it's something that we don't currently have.

The "inclusive co-working community space and studio" at Ann an Plainfield is not going to happen. I had my doubts when I saw that they were trying to use a Gofundme to start the business, but they just made a long post on Facebook stating that they would not be opening in that location. It's a prime spot for Creston...I would love to see it put to good use.

That guy is the worst. Once in a while I will agree with one of his points but he is so insufferable that I can’t admit it out loud.

I hope this means something really great will go into that spot. I've lived here for over 5 years and I've haven't once heard anyone mention their food or beer other than the fact they have been around forever. It's a fantastic location...

Drove past this place and they have taken down the plywood and you see the new windows/overhead door. It is looking pretty nice, looks like they still have some cosmetic work like exterior paint to get it all cleaned up but the masonry looks to be repaired.

I like these details too: "A publicly owned and maintained pedestrian and non-motorized trail will be constructed along the Grand River from US-131 south to the railroad tracks, and will include additional connections from the river to Market Avenue through the amphitheater property. The trail will be funded primarily through the Greenway Grant administered by the DDA. Other connections are planned separate from this project, that would connect north and south, linking multiple trail systems and connecting more than 100 miles of non-motorized trails."

I hope this pans out - I'm glad Talbot has shown some real interest in working in GR!

GRR was recognized among the best airports in North America in a new survey. GRR was recognized for the following categories: Best Airport - 2 to 5 million passengers per year Airport with most dedicated staff Most enjoyable airport Cleanest airport These Are the Best Airports in North America, According to a New Passenger Survey (msn.com)

Acrisure too. Unless that was mentioned and I can’t read.

Thanks for sharing - I love stuff like that! The orphanage building was really beautiful

Not much in the way of detail yet, but Pinnacle Construction will be presenting to the Creston Neighborhood Association this week about a proposed residential development at Leonard and Lafayette.

I am just so happy that it's planned for a central location instead of just plopped out on the outskirts of town. The location will create a gameday atmosphere that will only add to the attraction - supporters congregating at bars on Bridge St or downtown and heading over for the game.

I don't hate it, but I don't love it. I'm in the camp that was hoping it would have the brick and ivy appearance. I was really hoping they were going to try to tie that into the appearance of the old furniture factory buildings in GR.

New renderings for the stadium:

Pinnacle construction shared this drone photo of The Current at Plainfield & Quimby.

Don't forget the bocce place

I've still been using this link and it has been working for me: Meeting Calendar - Grand Rapids, Michigan (iqm2.com) but on your link, if I click on the three vertical dots (idk what that is called) on the right side of the meeting, i can still access the packets as well.

Drove past The Current today. They are working on framing out the top floor IMO the height really meshes well with the other buildings on the neighborhood
