Maybe for commercial use it's prohibitive to get trucks in and out, but seriously for residential I don't see how being on that cul-de-sac would be a problem. GVSU students would probably walk a lot. Easier to get a few street hockey games going too.

The design looks nice, but I'm not a fan of the exterior at all. Needs something down with it.

I figured out who he was a looooong time ago. I still have some contact with him; and the other poster was correct, he doesn't plan on coming back.

[GRDadof3]

Im guessing hes a developer then?

Sorry

The MW Lofts in lansing are the same construction. And the thick concrete floors have helped sales, because of sound insulation. Imagine living in a loft and being able to get away with blasting your stereo!

DeVries will do what is best for property. DeVries is very conservative and generally will not go forward with a project unless they feel a civic duty (Aldrich) or are sure of its success (Landmark). Don't forget, DeVries owns the land along the river adjacent to Landmark (a big gravel parking lot). That area could easily be used to expand condos along the river and partially block view of the Boardwalk. (In fact, if you express interest in purchasing a condo at Landmark you might be able to see renderings for expansion.) DeVries has likely considered many options for the Front property, perhaps going so far as drawing up plans. Maybe the contract they have with the cell tower is preventing them from going forward at this juncture. Perhaps when that contract is fulfilled the process may speed up. Just some ideas.

No, the contracts with the wireless carriers are not a stopper to work on the building.

building like the cell tower are best left in the aged state. thats a good look for lofts. aged. but modern interior....

i always wanted to but a new structure inside of an aged building and leave the outsdie untouched.

[Veloise]

Just curious...have you seen the contract? I have seen contracts that limit work on the area for 10 year periods (or severly encumber the work permitted) There are many issues with right aways and workability that massive construction would severely encumber the cell towers usage.

"The Loading Dock" Pub and Game Room

I bet there's quite a view

My Grand Father actually worked in this building, I think it would be neat to live there

I didn't snap a picture of it, but beyond the little loading dock "building" is another section that juts out, that creates a nice little courtyard for barbecue pits, outdoor seating, etc..
