Hudson Site Redevelopment

if bedrock closes on the fail jail, they're going to be insanely busy over there.

interesting quote out of the article:

http://www.reforum-digital.com/refor...013?pg=20#pg77

from the article:

"Yes Larson says some office sectors are quite healthy. Many of the CBD's biggest buildings now have an occupancy rate over 90%, leaving a limited supply of space with large floor plates. And Rock Ventures has enough confidence that is has started the design process for a mammoth development with commercial, residential and office space on the site of the now-demolished Hudson's department store."

im curious to know who the local design will be. kraemer design group does a lot of work with bedrock, and they did do the whitney and broderick. but now that rosetti and newman smith moved downtown, i bet everyone is in on the gig. seems albert kahn wasn't asked to play.

16-18 floors for an office/residential combination can hardly be called mammoth.

That's how I feel.

Development of a new skyscraper in Detroit due DEMAND is a big deal.

We will see how Dan Gilbert turn the fail jail site into to own personal Disneyland in his Gilbertown district.

The residental tower and podium portion are the initial phases of a much larger project that will develop the entire block... the project was never limited to one tower. It was decided and reported a while back that the first phase would be residential.
