Massive loft development proposed in brush park/ midtown. On woodward.

[Mind field]

I really hope the grand old homes in Brush Park are restored to their former glory. *paging Nicole Curtis*

Hate to sound naïve, but what is an "executive hotel"?

Is it a fancy name for a 4 or 5 star hotel? If so, is this a good location for this type of hotel?

Maybe it means they don't offer hourly rates.

This is great! Brush Park is definitely going to be an area to keep our eyes on in the near future. now if we can just get another m1 type of rail going horizontal on some street to connect the not-so-distant Eartern Market area, I think I would have a heart attack.

horizontal? As opposed to the current set up which is going to run vertical? NOW I understand why the naysayers are calling M-1 a "train to nowhere"... 3.3 miles straight in to the air isn't going to do anyone a damn bit of good!


I know, I know... you mean East-West... couldn't resist

If only Dan Gilbert had left some super-secret clues to our future streetcars in the wall decorations of his buildings... something subtle and mysterious, like how the Freemasons built their symbols into the layout of Washington DC... something like giant glowing neon lines across downtown...


[[Incidentally, it's almost exactly 3 miles from St. Aubin/Gratiot to Roosevelt Park/MCS via Campus Martius.)

It's only natural that M3 and M5 rail lines will follow M1.

last i heard it went from being an office building to apartments. they got approved for some sort of funding and i'm almost positive they were waiting to start construction until this spring// when the ground thaws

It is incredible what is happening along Woodward... Take a map and circle Woodward/Stimson project, the project the subject of this thread, the new arena, the Ilitch Fox office building, etc. along with all of the development which has happened in recent years.

Developers are fortunate to have undeveloped land on a great street, Woodward, with so much possibilities for development.

Someone with graphic skills could do a map of M-1 and annotate it with future projects.

LMAO!!! That's brilliant!

[tkelly1986]

Can someone explain why there is such a large gap between the new building and the YOBS building? If seem like the new one could be closer.

Probably just a land ownership issue.

Outdoor patio of the YOBS building.

[jaytheory]

[EL Jimbo]

Ho hum. Keep em coming! http://detroit.curbed.com/archives/2...s-possible.php

Took my kid to the Michigan Science Center yesterday. It was my first visit to Detroit in over two years. I was absolutely shocked by what is happening in Midtown. Obviously I've been following it and was aware of all the activity, but man. Seeing is believing. Woodward was almost unrecognizable...in a good way.

[Jayp213]

you called it!! Junjie!!! read the last sentence! . i screen-shot this from the m1-rail website. the signs are in front of our faces lol. nonetheless, it is a little weird you would point that out and coincidentally, they mentioned the Gratiot and Michigan Ave study.

[emu steve]

Interesting. I grew up in a western 'burb and wonder how they could ignore Michigan Ave.?

[LiveWire]

It's a pretty nice rendering. At least it blends well with the neighborhood.
Hope to see more residential developments.

You're really holding out hope on a 6 year old stalled project?

Yes indeed

What is shown in the real estate listing are the units that have a nice street appeal. Can't under stand why the corner units weren't done in the same way. They are extremely hideous in my view.

Are you talking about the corner unit that mimics the corner of the Ransom Gillis house?
