Older renders indicate a green roof on the Target space. With that and the courtyard it would make for a dramatic stormwater retention strategy and desirable views out of both residential buildings. Wonder if that made it through the VE process?

Wow, the rumor, the myth of many years is finally going to be reality!
Interesting fact that this City Target will be 32,000 square feet whereas the City Target in East Lansing is only 22,000 square feet. Having been in that store, it seemed large enough and functional enough for my liking so this is extra exciting for Midtown Detroit!
Speaking of City Target, it maybe a done deal...

The Almao Drafthouse site was 102 Stimson St, but the plan died over a 15-yr, 300-space parking guarantee that Alamo wanted.
i think that's the site where they're building this. i dont think it's on google maps yet, but the website says finished next summer. last i went by they had a lot of the frame up, so it seems on schedule
Now here comes the tricky part of about real estate investment projects:
1. Is there going to be folks wanting to rent, lease or buy the property?
2. Is City Target is going to fulfill on their promise to building their marketplace?
3. Will be the toughen up security to keep the riff-raffs out?
4. Will another possible national or biological crisis the halt the project?
If these things happen, the project will be scrapped and head back to the drawing board.
That lot is owned by a Sam Kemerko. Oddly enough his current address is listed as 2870 Woodward which is First Unitarian Church of Detroit - which doesn't make sense.

Not much out there on him:

I think that Target could be up and running by next year this time. Look how fast the Rivertown Market. The same type of security Gilbert has for Merchants Row could patrol the Target Wholefoods area to keep away the riff raff. Now the QLine could be put to good use by those residents living downtown using it to shop at Target
