PROJECT DESCRIP

Vision StatementThe City of East Lansing has offered up a unique opportunity to re-imagine a very dif ficult canvas.

The site, sandwiched between the citys urban center and its Park District, has challenging topography,

restrictive dimensions and infrastructure that is lacking capacity. How do you take this opportunity and

deliver a successful project that benefits both the private and public sector?

Success of a project in any community can be measured in many waysovercoming areas of

underutilization; achieving common goals of community and developer; re-enforcement of sense-of-place;

increase tax base while providing opportunity for return-for-risk, and job creation (among many others).

The vision of our proposed development addresses these many measures of success:

Overcoming underutilization. This project will transform an area that is clearly short of being used

for its highest and best use, into a vibrant, mixed use center

Achieving common goals. This mixed use project will strengthen the neighborhood; provide housing

opportunities for people of all ages; improve the quality and vitality of the Citys commercial/

downtown district; promote a growing economy, and will sustain greater density and integration of

uses.

Reinforcement of sense-of-place. Home to the 8th largest public university in the country, East

Lansings sense-of-place is a unique blend of comfort, opportunity and energy. Whether a long

time resident or casual visitor, the city has a way of leaving a lasting impression. This project willreinforce the citys sense-of-place.

Financial. This public/private partnership opportunity will increase the citys tax base while

providing a reasonable return-on-investment.

Job creation. The project will create several hundred short-term construction jobs while securing

several dozen part and full time jobs.

Charette ExperienceThe entitys Architect has a long history of coordinating and leading project development discussion with

groups at all levelsneighborhood, general public and faculty.

Lansing City Market (Lansing)

This project was a very controversial development effort. Deeply rooted passion on both-sides-of-the

table resulted in a process that had a very public face to it. The Architect worked alongside the US

Dept of Agriculture to listen and respond to concerns/desires of many. Attendees included city officials,

vendors, angry nahsayers, anti-development subgroups, avid supporters, interested citizens, developers and

designers. Several Charette meetings took place over a 4 month schematic design period and resulted in a

design that many felt they owned a piece of.

Midtown Mixed-use Center (Lansing)

This project is currently in the construction documents phase. Located on the site that once occupied the

Silver Dollar Saloon, this project is highly complex project due to the 6-0 deep, 100 year floodplain. At

the request of City Officials, the Architect met with the residents of Friendship Manor to address concerns

about lighting, connectivity, views, etc

The Charette was a productive exchange discussing: construction in a flood plain (most did not realize that

their building was in a flood plain as well); dark sky lighting systems; traffic; building management, and

aesthetic appeal.

Spine Center (East Lansing)

The ultimate NIMBY project. A properly zoned use-by-right proposal, this project took over a year to earn

its city council approval.The Architects office, alongside the City of East Lansing Planning Department, worked with adjacent

residents to overcome concerns regarding buffering, aesthetics, operating hours, traffic, noise and lighting

glare.
