There aren't any concrete plans and and there wont be anytime soon. Inside Rocket there are these things called "isms" that the organization lives by. One of them is "you'll see it when you...

The FOC already has a bunch of empty floors all over the Bedrock properties downtown. WFH and layoffs have drastically reduced the gilbert companies' space needs. More cutting to come as the...

speaking of crickets and watching paint dry.... anyone find it odd that after 6 years of construction and press releases and various renderings and redesigns, we've not heard about any major tenants...

yup. my bad.

but did a typo really impact the issue?

the discussion on this thread keeps coming back to why it's taking the better part of a decade to build something generic and...

Bedrock is in no rush because it will be virtually empty. Rocket Mortgage has lost 85% of it's business and will be cutting at least 20% more in headcount this year. It wont be called...

folks, the reality is this project is likely never going to break ground. Covid was a shotgun blast to the economics of it and now the post covid mortgage apocalypse is it's death rattle. The big...

as of about 5 minutes ago, it's not a rumor.

so I guess we should all be expecting the complete emptying out of Detroit beginning today. last one out, turn off the lights....or leave them...

Makes more sense than taking an unconfirmed rumor and turning it into the total downfall of every single on going development downtown. Especially when placed in context of the reporting on it and...

I'd also add, there will be no settlement. After the verdict all sorts of fraud was revealed on the part of Housecanary by whistleblower witnesses [[multiple) at HouseCanary.

The federal suit...

in a value for money context, I really don't see how you beat the Pointes. In return for those high taxes [[and in addition to an insane level of city services), in GPP you get a private residents...

Detroit has a serious hospitality/customer service issue. From what passes for high end restaurants, to stores, to fast food...anything customer facing. Generally just atrocious. I travel a lot....

it was never designed to be one...but it was sold as one.

here's just one example of many from the way back machine circa 2010...


cue sad trombone....

They do... which is why detroit's failure to replicate that success is that much more depressing.

yes in an era where Grosse Pointe was considered a weekend get away destination and the trolleys...

it is an impossible fix as it's not grade separated and there is no state buy-in to allow it to be. It's never not going to be subject to the whims of Detroit drivers that seem to think flipping on...

except that is the exact problem with the q line...it's entirely unpredictable with zero way to stop things like double parkers and just traffic interference in general. they don't even have signal...

Interesting to see this thread. I've just returned to Detroit after about 5 years away. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

I thought this might be an interesting idea to bring some instant density to parts of some of the 8 lane surface roads around here. Sort of supercharge the blocks that are starting to thrive. ...

the bank robber was shot as he was exiting the bank, from the facts as known from the reporting[[ which is to say, I'm adding your duly noted grain of salt there). with those facts, it seems the...

I don't see how this situation differs much from the bank shooter. In both instances there was either no threat or the threat had ended as in both cases the robber was fleeing when the arm chair...

the comments on the loan amount keep getting made... we all get how financing works right? I mean they aren't going to have to pay the note in full the day they open....

I'm just glad to see...

It's not "commercial" unless s/he's making some money on it, how does it become "commercial" because s/he shared the link? It's an educational project done for a class and s/he's letting some others...

How is this one any different that most on the news when you really break it down? They are usually over money or disrespect or threats against someone. This one just comes with a smidgen of...

once again, the citizen didn't unload on the guy until the guy had turned to leave the building.... the threat was over. At that point is was ALL about 11k and being a vigilante.

and let me be...

Well yeah, he kinda did.... he emptied his magazine and IIRC that firearm has a a 10+1 capacity. He fired as many as 11 shots and only managed to wing the guy with three. He hit A LOT of...

Actually fairly surprised that this is happening on Bedrock turf. Where are the cameras?? Regardless, I'd say these guys' days are numbered.[/QUOTE]

...and then the endless handwringing threads...
