I'm not sure the Statler project is even delayed.
When it was announced way back in Spring 2014, the timeline was "construction in 2016": http://detroit.curbed.com/archives/2...atler-site.php
Then last year when they got site plan approval from City Council last March the timeline was still "construction in 2016, opening in 2017": http://www.mlive.com/news/detroit/in...ts_to_bri.html
So they're still on track to start construction on their original timeline. If we don't see construction by this fall, I'll start to worry. Otherwise, sounds like the project is on track.
My guess is that the reason they didn't start sooner was that the site was being used for filming a Transformer movie, then for staging for the Whitney renovation. And obviously the "Care" building owner not cooperating/suing them.
