Yeah, that's it. Gilbert is involved. I believe he is leasing the space from the Merchants Row folks. They've been furiously building out the space for the last week or so. The merch is already...

It was full. One of the articles stated that a company grew out of its Madison space and moved to another Gilbert-owned building downtown, which opened up space for this new company. That's exactly...

This building is not one of the three Capitol Park buildings to be developed. This one isn't in Capitol Park.

Quicken Loans commercial

Given that management played the "race card" several times in their attempt to secure a permanent liquor license, I would not be at all surprised if this was an inside job to try to gain sympathy.

"Erickson sought to assure commissioners that the art would be protected ...

If the millage passes, Macomb County residents would get free admission to the museum. If you're an average resident with a home valuation of around $150,000, you would get your money's worth in one...

There are no plans for a Quicken HQ. Those plans were scrapped long ago in favor of the "campus" approach that you are currently seeing with Quicken employees spread across several buildings in...

I just completely disagree. A Whole Foods means more people living in the city, more people shopping at nearby stores, and likely increased retail filling in the gaps in the area. It means more...

Michigan USED to have one of the most generous brownfield credit programs in the nation. Remember, brownfield credits were eliminated in the most recent state budget. They are working on...

I guess I don't understand all the anger over the incentives. $1.2 million is federal new markets tax credits. Is there a better use of these credits that bringing a Whole Foods to Detroit? $1.5...

Yes. In fact, Meijer just noted in Crain's today that it costs $15 million to open one of its new "urban" style stores.

Well, according to the article, the City is providing nothing. The incentives are from the State, the Feds, and private foundations. So it will be a net gain for the City.

Let's remember that...

Here's the article: http://www.crainsdetroit.com/article/20110727/FREE/110729897/-4-2-million-in-incentives-key-to-whole-foods-deal

$4.2 million in incentives. And they will be leasing.

Hate to say I told ya so

I have spoken to two well placed sources about this. One told me "its a done deal, they're coming." The other told me "I can't talk about it." Sounds promising.

If Snyder's proposal to eliminate the state historic preservation tax credit and the Brownfield MBT credit [[among others) becomes law, I highly doubt this project ever gets off the ground. Like all...

When his budget proposes eliminating all major tax credits, including the state historic preservation tax credit, and the brownfield credit, there is going to be an uproar. If those programs are...

I have heard the same rumor, but didn't want to post it until I saw official confirmation.

Just a car fire in the parking deck.
