Windows looking good. Hope that parking structure compliments the building though.

It doesn't; at least I don't think it does much at all. The design is different from both the historic station, and glass-and-steel annex.

It ain't so bad, though difficult to see what's going on with all that dark area. It would be nice if they offset glass panels, which the whole composition of it with that precast would have similar language to the new office building.

Lansing's Eyde development announced plans today to renovate the Knapp's building into a mix of retail, office and residential space in addition to underground parking. Eyde plans to move their offices, with 50 employees, into the building and the city of Lansing's Economic Development Corporation plans to put a 10,000 sq ft business incubator in the building. There will be 19 high end apartments on the fifth floor and 40 parking spaces in the basement. The project will $22-$24 million, construction is set to begin in early 2011 and wrap up in 2013.

Another article in the Lansing City Pulse:
http://www.lansingcitypulse.com/lans...-wakes-up.html This seems to have come out of the blue. This is exactly what that side of town needs. I always envisioned a Borders in that building, but this isn't the climate for a bookstore (and Borders is hurting). But with the Arbough finished a few years ago, the new police headquarters on Kzoo, and the new Michigan Brewing Company...this end of Washington is really coming along. Hell yeah! |
This will be incredible. It's a really cool building, and I'm impressed by those renders.

Did you have Bill Knapps in Michigan? It was a bootleg Bob Evans.

They converted one of them into a Zingermanns Roadhouse. The rest became uncertain famly restaurants repainting their facades with garish colors.

Oy, I haven't been considered "trolling" since 1999! Man, I am getting old.
And Bill Knapp's was trash. Honestly, it tasted like a low-budget Perkins...which is a low-budget Bob Evans. |
LOL, I'm surprised someone actually took that seriously.

Forgive him; he's a relative newbie, so he wouldn't get Colday's style.

I wish the region marketed itself better, because if it did, this kind of news would actually translate into more good things for the region.

I'm just happy someone's setting up in this storefront. No business seems to survive in the building longer than a year or two. This type of business will definitely have a longer self-life. And right across the street is a seasonal ice cream shop. :D

I don't know about it being a long lasting business. Some medical marijuana stores in LA have had high turnovers because of insurance. They get broken into or robbed alot. Is that a large plate glass window I see? hmmmm.

There's more weed at MSU than there will be in that store over its entire lifespan.
