I walked by last night and there were lights on in many rooms. I could see into some windows what appeared to be metal studs in place just waiting for new drywall. Also, I noticed the vertical "MILNER" sign on John R had been changed to "ASHLEY" using the same ugly font.
Crain's reported that the Milner had previously been owned by Ilitch. I never heard that before. Can somebody [[Gistok, perhaps) shed some light on this? I suspect the writer was confusing the Milner with the Madison-Lenox, but hey, why should our media get the facts straight?
From Crain's:
Ashley Owner LLC will receive the grant to complete the $8.2 million redevelopment of the Milner, transforming the property once owned by the Ilitch family into 61 one- and two-bedroom apartments.
