    "The [[GAR) building was purchased by the media production firm Mindfield from the City of Detroit for $220,000 in November, 2011. They plan to start a $2 million to $3 million renovation immediately, with opening slated for 2013. The firm plans to occupy the top two floors itself, lease the ground floor for retail and a restaurant, and dedicate a memorial to Civil War Veterans." - Wikipedia
