RenCen plan would demolish 2 towers — but it hinges on public money
Two of the 39-story office towers — 300 and 400 — on the Detroit riverfront are slated for demolition, freeing up more land for public space along the water.
One of the remaining towers, the 100 tower, is slated for residential conversion into some 300-400 units; while the other 200 tower is expected to undergo an overhaul as spruced-up office space for new tenants, Kofi Bonner, CEO of Bedrock, said in an interview with Crain's. The 1,300-room Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center hotel tower, the state’s tallest building at 73 stories and 727 feet, would also be carved up; reducing the hotel to some 850 rooms on the lower levels and reserving the top levels for what Bonner described as high-end residential space.
The vision would create a new Wintergarden-like structure providing better riverfront access for the hotel for events, plus additional commercial space, a GM spokesperson said.
"We really wanted to open up the RenCen complex to the riverfront and provide a pathway to downtown, connected to downtown," Bonner said in an interview. "It's 5.5 million square feet, and it's 5.5 million square feet of two use types [[office and mall-like retail) that aren't as ... prominent in the marketplace as they were when these buildings were built."

Demolition of long-vacant shopping complex in Detroit approved
Demolition of long-vacant shopping complex in Detroit approved
Judge Leslie Kim Smith issued the order last week in Wayne County Circuit Court, allowing remediation work and removal of asbestos at the three-story, 135,000-square-foot structure to proceed immediately prior to demolition, according to a copy of the order. It affirms the receiver’s recommendation for the West Grand River Avenue property and marks a victory for the city of Detroit, which sued building owners in April 2023 to have it demolished. Southfield-based attorney Charles Bullock was appointed as the receiver in the case.“I am pleased that the court agreed with my report and recommendation,” Bullock said in an email to Crain’s. “The property has been vacant for nearly 25 years and exposed to the elements. I am of the firm opinion that the condition of the property is such that due to the extensive and ongoing structural deterioration, rehabilitation of the building is not feasible and demolition is the only responsible path forward.”
The city will pay for all remediation and demolition costs — “provided, however, such payment is without prejudice to the city’s right to seek reimbursement from any third parties, including the defendant,” the order said.
It is not clear when demolition would start or how much it would cost. Crain’s inquired with the city for more information.

Mike Duggan won't seek reelection > Running for MI Gov as an Independent
It's great news for Michigan and Detroit if he wins, and I love that he's running as an independent. Going around the whole party system just like he did [[had to) in his first mayoral run.
He'll certainly have no lack of supporters in this area, but I can see him being attacked by both sides though as a candidate who will still be looking out for only the cities best interests while running the whole state.
GO Duggan!

2024 Detroit Pistons
As expected, it took Langdon about 5 minutes to fire Weaver.
Now he gets to choose between several draft picks, none of whom can shoot. Sound familiar?
