Hudson's Site Building Thread

[motorcity]

Finances always dictate construction. I'm guessing that's happening here. An article in today's paper says they don't have any tenants lined up or something to that effect. Probably want to sign some leases or LOI's before pushing ahead.

That said, those who express skepticism have a valid viewpoint. Comparison to other cities does make sense in this instance. Chicago can get things like this done quickly. Toronto puts up a skyscraper seemingly every other day. Something is very wrong with the process in Detroit that a building like this, and pretty much every development for that matter, takes so damn long. The process DEFINITELY needs examination and a thorough revamp.

It's not just Chicago, even population 700k Nashville has built dozens of 20, 30 and 40-story new buildings since 2015. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...s_in_Nashville

I'm just so over the years of excuses and disinformation. The new articles this week are filled with more of the same stalling we've heard for years, saying don't expect to see steel up until next summer.
