Agreed, commercial in this area shouldn't be done. Would love to see pure residential in this spot. Mixed use, sure, but I feel it'd always be up for lease.

Great bit of info!
I'm in the minority with the posts here - its in a bad location, almost certainly will be blocked by traffic, and undersized. I think it would have been better off on some overhang.
Posing a question about how city government has essentially handed some of its valued aspects & responsibilities to other entities: Belle Isle, QLine, the Riverfront, etc.
Maybe I don't know much...
I like the idea of expanding the People Mover. It was built for what works then, but with new construction and neighborhoods, it would work well and would be the easiest option to expand. I believe...
I hate how this came about but I'm not surprised at it. If FH actually owned some viable property nearby, it should easily be a handshake deal, but consumer revenue and property tax have taken this...
Done and done.
I would say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, but it's a pretty rotten tree to begin with.
May be an unpopular opinion, but can we revisit expanding the People Mover down the major thoroughfares? It seems like they took that off the table when they made the Rosa Parks Transit Center for a...
I've always wondered why there isn't more of a collaboration between local incubators and management companies to fill the spaces part time. When the Westland Mini Mall opened up in a strip mall a...
I randomly came across this on Youtube a couple of days ago and have been binging since. Kind of amazing how unprotected some of these areas are and that there isn't more effort from local...
I don't think we forgot about the pandemic, its more about the years before it. I understand there has been some cleanup efforts, but its so much empty space its close to laughable.
The bandshell...
I'm all for a little spectacle and over-hyped events, especially if it will bring some $$$ to the city. I think having it setup in Hart Plaza would be a better view for the cameras, but who knows...
I read on SB's Pistons blog that the Blazers are strongly looking to get Jerami Grant, and might be tanking to sweeten the pick to offer. I haven't followed much college ball, but I thought this...
Even with electric vehicles picking up steam and gas prices shooting up, the only result I ever see is more lanes. There's lane diets within city limits but the freeways are expanding more than...
Its been awhile since posting and sorry for any duplicates.
I think we can all agree Belle Isle isn't being used to its full capacity. A few nature trails here, hold a few events at the...
Ford is scrambling to keep its existing workforces, so I'm not mad at this. Michigan needs the jobs sure, but we need more than just the automotive industry.
I remember watching the downtown races on TV. I'm for it, but won't it affect the 'eventual' 375 and Hart Plaza reconstruction?
Random Q here, but has anyone created a model/layout of what downtown will look like with all the announced and pending projects? I would love to see how it all comes together.
I saw Channel 4 had a couple of chairs on the concrete out front today.. possibly in [[poor) response.
I can understand people's enthusiasm for any Dan Gilbert news, but I think this is just another case of "buying it cheap". Greektown hasn't been able to fully recover since its legal battles, and it...
that's exactly what it sounds like. Should work out nice for the businessman/woman on the go and in need of last minute anniversary gifts..
Off the top of my head, I can think of two downtown parking garages with retail space and no retailers in them. Don't think this will be any different.
The founder of Fossil Inc. has picked Detroit as the site for a watch and bicycle manufacturing operation, with hopes that the words "made in Detroit" will make the items more marketable.
