Did benzinga actually move to downtown?

I would not be so sure on Ally yet. It is my understanding that the move to Southfeild is not a done deal and that the City if fighting hard to keep them.

Interesting to watch this thread, but individual battles for employee don't tell us very much about anything. Watch the trend. And resist the temptation to spend every new dollar in tax revenue on some new program or benefit. Take the lessons of bankruptcy. 1) Put on your own oxygen mask first [[fire, police, trash), then... 2) fix your structural administrative problems [[increase efficiency), then... 3) treat your employees fairly [[restore pension cuts starting at the bottom of the pay scales, and never restore payments to anyone already making more than $50k/yr.)

If you just do things right, Detroit will thrive.

I've heard differently about Ally. And not to be rude, but you also claimed that One Detroit Center was nearly fully leased, and that is not the case. So i'm not sure you're a credible source. Trust me, i'd be thrilled if Ally chose to stay in the city, even more thrilled if they consolidated in the city, but i don't think that's likely to happen.
