It obviously isn't Wayne State. It will be a distance from the arena.

What other development is around it?
It's an odd milieu of the new and the old there. You have the NSO, which helps the needy. You have the two buildings that are being rehabbed. You also have the Chinatown area, which is being rehabbed. And that castle mansion, which I believe Joel Landy is about to go to town on. So there's some blight there and some people with economic and mental needs.

But then you also have a doggie day care, a tapas place, some boutiques, and bike shop, and a whole bunch of other stuff that caters to the crowd coming in.

I guess you could call it "transitional."
