THE LAFAYETTE BUILDING

With the excitement growing over the restoration of the Cadillac Hotel and the building of the Griswold Condominiums, the DetroitYES forum interests look southward toward the beautiful and long abandoned Lafayette Building. Brisk sales of the Cadillac and Griswold condominiums, in spite of a soft regional real estate market, are further demonstrating the pent-up demand for urban downtown residences. Proposals to convert the Lafayette Building into residential units and talk of restoration of Capitol Park are stirring discussion and questioning feasibility in this long dormant area of Downtown Detroit. What's next? The Free Press Building?
