They talk about how Detroit is trying to move forward but is having a tough time trying to shake it's reputation. Hopefully more developments like the Quicken Move, and the DIA opening continue to happen.
My main hope regarding Detroit is that they make every effort to save historic structures, it seems they're doing quite well right now, but if they sway from that the losses could be huge.
I am moreso talking about the smaller neighborhood buildings, like houses, rowhouses and lowrise apartments, those are the most at risk. I think that most people are smart enough to try to save a 10 or 20 floor building of historic significant. Although, there are a couple of very recent, very prominent examples of this (Motown and Statler).
I am SO happy to see something like this go up in Detroit, it looks like something you'd see in Chicago. I just hope we can get some of that kind of architecture up here in Lansing. $150-million complex planned for downtown
That's great news for Detroit. I was just at Campus Martius a couple weeks ago and saw the surface parking lot where the building will be built. Congratulations Detroit.
I just wanted to share a pretty good YouTube channel I found a few months ago that keeps up on all the developments in Detroit for anyone interested. The Gordie Howe Bridge's towers are probably over 2/3 done, the new high rise (2nd tallest in Detroit) is underway at the Hudson site, the changes in the Brush Park/Little Caesars Arena area have been amazing among many other projects around the city. It's really great to see the momentum continuing to build down there.
