Ain't gonna happen. Contract's already been rewarded for the demo. They've hung up a banner and done some prep work, though it looks like the towers will be the last buildings in the complex to fall.
I am happy 70 West is getting rehabbed, though. [[That's how I know it, not the stuffy sounding name Strathmore.) I'm interested in what is currently apartment 708 if they ever get it done.

What do you think will be put at the site as a replacement, I imagine more housing, but not mixed income due to the New Brewter Homes being directly behind the site.

I heard Gilbert is going to purchase it and build a second casino.

I think that a Las Vegas themed casino would be perfect for it. After all Las Vegas has a Detroit themed casino we should have a Las Vegas themed one! Someone should buy it and turn it into a casino. Maybe the Ilitch family as they already own a casino and are going to build a new stadium there. I am sure that once they get their hands on it they will not turn it into a parking lot or anything.
