Aluminum Casting Facility Completed

A team was put together for the purpose of evaluating the (3) existing RTO's (Regenerative Thermal Oxidation unit) in the plant to determine if any energy savings could be realized by investigating the efficiency of the operation of the units. The three (3) Precision Sand RTO units were picked because they were the biggest users of energy in the Precision Sand process. The cost to run one of these units at the time of the project was approximately $20.00 per CFM per year when gas was at $9.00 per mbtu. This equates to approximately $1,300,000 per unit annually.

Hagerty Insurance Agency Finished

Posted by: Cornerstone Architects | Sep, 23rd

Project: Hagerty Insurance Agency

Hagerty Classic Insurance Company’s newest facility is located on one of the last remaining vacant sites in downtown Traverse City. Assuring the highest and best use for this site while enhancing the street scape was a key task for the project team. Situated next to an existing five-story condominium, the building gestures toward its neighbor and creates a continuity of scale and materials while at the same time significantly improving the pedestrian environment. The design emphasizes the pedestrian scaled character of downtown Traverse City and stretches the current urban fabric from the Front Street shopping district to the newer developments south along Cass Street. Canopies and large glass windows engage the design with the street level, creating a transparency between interior and exterior.

Midtown Neighborhood Master Plan Finished

Posted by: Nederveld | Sep, 23rd

Project: Midtown Neighborhood Master Plan

The Midtown Neighborhood Association hired Nederveld along with Lott3Metz Architecture and Past Perfect of Grand Rapids to lead a visioning process in the Brikyaat quarter of the Midtown Neighborhood in Grand Rapids.  The process allowed residents, business owners and neighborhood investors to identify their “ideal community” for use in forming plans for the future  configuration of the neighborhood. 

The resulting master plan includes a reconfigured farmers market on the east side of the neighborhood, proposed multi-family to transition from the market to the existing preserved single-family homes, and sensitive residential infill to the existing urban fabric.  Additionally, the Fulton Street Business Corridor is augmented with mixed-use infill buildings with storefronts at the street level.

Planning is now complete for the project and the final phase of the project is commencing.  This implementation phase will integrate the concept plan into an area specific plan that will become part of the City of Grand Rapids Master Plan.  This will become one of the first area specific plans to be implemented in Grand Rapids from a neighborhood scale.
