Lot of good info and some statistics to rebut the notion that the positive change is incrementally slow.

"Midtown boomed as well. Last year, 18 new housing developments representing more than 750 units either began construction in 2015, or sealed their deals to begin construction this year. That’s more than double the eight new developments in 2014, said Susan Mosey, president of Midtown Detroit Inc., the nonprofit that plays a major role in shaping growth in the area.In 2016, at least 10 housing more developments in Midtown are expected to be finalized, Mosey said."

Imagine what it will look like when things start happening at the Hudson's site...
