The restored United Artists in Los Angeles could be the prototype for the Detroit building with a restored auditorium and the office structure being converted to hotel or condo/apartment use. Don't underestimate the 'big picture' view of what will evolve in this part of downtown Detroit. The Grand River corridor between Bagley and Trumbull will be transformed, as will Michigan Ave [[ West Corktown) to W Grand Blvd.
