This slipped past my radar, but a preliminary rendering for the new planned South Neighborhood was released a few days ago by WMU. There were also two
community information sessions earlier today, which apparently included some sort of VR component. Would have been cool to attend. MLive and WWMT will probably have an update by tomorrow, hopefully with some more imagery.
At a glimpse, this looks like a strong design, produced through a collaboration with Perkins+Will, Stantec Architecture, and CannonDesign. The only image I could find was very small. I scaled it up a little, so it's a bit blurry.
