The Hudson Block is simply a much better quality office facility than the RenCen is, or could be. GM is getting a state of the art facility. That fact itself is good for the company, good for...

Agree with this and the preceding post. Very expensive to do, and massive undertaking. Not as simple as just erecting some new apartment walls, and calling it habitable.

But… not impossible...

Both the Ritz Carlton and especially the W would be a downgrade from Edition. Edition is basically the highest profile chain in the Marriott Bonvoy system. So hoping it sticks. Wouldn’t mind...

My take is more this….
GM is a car company. The best people for designing, engineering, and marketing cars are generally the people who drive cars, and live and practice the auto centric, aka...

The biggest challenge is that the people moving out, tend to be those households with kids. The people moving in are young professionals, DINKs, Empty Nesters, LBGT+, etc. which are all groups that...

Mass Transit is just like good roads. Most people actually do want it, but no one wants to pay for it.

And it’s too heavy a political lift to raise taxes to fund it. The best we can seemingly...

For train service to be acceptable by the masses, train service needs to be reliable.

For train service to be reliable, passenger train service needs to operate on tracks exclusive for passenger...

The loading dock for the whole block and entrance to underground parking is on Gratiot across from OneCampusMartius [[ie under the tower portion being constructed). Point being, I am not sure if the...

A man named Ohio and a man named Michigan walk into a grocery store. The man named Ohio spends twice as much on groceries as the man named Michigan. And yet despite both men walking into the same...

If this cap ever materializes, they need to get rid of the NB I-75 onramp between Woodward and Clifford. As long as that ramp exists, Park Street will always be cut off at the service drive,...

One of the best things they could do is close Monroe St to all vehicular traffic between Brush & St Antoine.

Yes, the issue is primarily young folk causing trouble. But closing off those two...

Another +1 vote on being disappointed with the design change.

I have always hated the large nearly-windowless wall of the Cadillac Tower facing Campus Martius. Maybe nice for advertising dollars,...

I could write a whole thesis on why the regional flights are going away. Two main issues: 1) 50 seat regional jets are getting too old to fly, and 2) Not enough pilots, so the smaller routes which...

I think this new flight is a great addition for DTW, and the flight will do well financially.

As mentioned upthread, I would also guess the majority of passengers who end up taking this flight...

Olympia is selling some of their coveted surface parking to Ross for the UofM center. This project we’ll help offset that loss of luxurious downtown surface lots.

Agreed. There will be many who will complain about this, but honestly, this is about as good of a return-on-investment as you can get with tax dollars these days. Kudos to the council members who...

Rebrand simply means “change brand”. The journalist used the correct wording.

Marriott International has 30 some hotel chains under its portfolio. One is “Aloft”, the current brand. Another is...

Let’s talk about the freeway cap shown in the map drawing.

What benefit does the freeway cap provide Olympia? Honest question. Does a freeway cap mean more events at LCA? Does it mean more...

My theory is that Illitch is wanting a significant Comerica Park refresh. The ballpark is 22 years old now, and if the Tigers are “keeping up with the Jones” and the renovations other MLB clubs have...

Most importantly, we need to get away from a one-size-fits-all mentality when it comes to housing, be it urban, rural, or suburban. There are people who value urban living, there are people who value...

1- Roast/Book Cadillac isn’t a Bedrock property. Best guess there is that when Ferchill [[Book Cadillac previous owner) lost control of the property, Symon [[Ferchill’s friend) decided it was time...

It’s a Bedrock owned property. Wouldn’t be surprised to learn the lease was heavily discounted the first couple of years to entice the initial business opening. Unfortunately full market rate...

We’ll see.

If the theatre demo is allowed to significantly precede the building renovation, I can see the surface lot being completed… and then “unfortunately” the rest of the renovation “falls...

At least we the taxpayers in Michigan spend less per capita on roads than every state BUT Missouri and Alaska. State number 48 out of 50 isn’t bad, right? Just think of all those would-be tax...

It is asks like this that can poison the well for everyone else.

I get that the museums, the Zoo, Huntington place, etc. need taxpayer support to stay afloat. The problem is it just takes one bad...
