10-15 years from now, I assume the block will cease to exist.

Unfortunately the "highest and best" use for the land is for filing cabinets of parking, to serve Greektown Casino.

Greektown is the laggard in the Casino Wars, and they're hamstrung by the location, which is a pain to navigate, and which is often disrupted by sports events and other downtown happenings.

It's in Greektown Casino's interest to turn their surroundings into a moonscape of parking. This improves customer access, while eliminating competing diversions.
