The David Whitney Opens to Sold out Demand
A former Fabulous Ruin of Detroit and crown jewel of Grand Circus Park, the David Whitney Building has finally reopened as the Aloft Hotel and Apartments. It's been a long time coming with lots of doubts and even more doubters but this snippet from Crain's tells it all.
"All 108 apartments at The Residences at the David Whitney have been leased, and all of the hotel’s available 136 rooms were sold out for its first weekend, he said.
“People have been pulling on the doors, basically, for several months now,” Damitio said.
Though the apartments are all leased, the management company is still taking applications for a waiting list, he said.
The plan is to begin moving residents in after the first of the year in staggered fashion. “We’re trying not to create too much chaos at once,” Damitio said."
