[Hinman project - new 13 story hotel at 10 Ionia]

Seems like this project is fading away...  Any rumors out there?

I just had higher hopes since it was right in the middle of downtown. With other areas already developed or being redeveloped, there are less chances of a taller buildings there. Now it seems like the parking lots near Van Andel Arena are the only remaining spaces but doing so would cover the view overlooking downtown going north on 131.

I guess we won't get anything like what was proposed before...

Wow, this rendering makes me really sad... lol.  -Would've been nice...

Does anyone know who owns the large surface lot between Ionia and Division?  (just NE of the Lyon/Ottawa site)

[Medical Mile/Michigan Street Developments]

I posted this in the uber thread, but thought I would add it here as well. This should make for an interesting scene coming into downtown from the East. People new to the area will probably think Health Hill is the whole "downtown":

Are they widening the highway down in the bottom right hand corner?

so which drawing is the final design for this building? I have seen a few but the one atop looks like an older version...

[Van Andel Arena Expansion?]

I think they expand for the sake of not being over crowded. I was recently at the Eric Claptoon concert and it was insane just to walk 30ft to the restroom. It took about 10 minutes just because the concorse was poorly thoughtout with a line for the concessions right next to the restrooms...

and i thought everyone was saying 14 stories... the rendering shows 11...

wow i like that picture ^ if there was a tower at Lyon and Ottawa like there was supposed to be it would be 10x better even.

[The Watering Hole]

Does anyone know exaclty where Jack Buchanan's mix use/ condo/ high rise is going? I can't really tell by the picture that was released...

[Photos De Jour - Grand Rapids and West Michigan Area]
