It's official! Gilbert locks up redevelopment of old Hudson's site

[Rock N Rye]

I sure hope not. Haven't we learned from the Ren Cen? Let's not make an even bigger mistake. A large building would be nice here, something to be proud of, but let's not get carried away. Detroit has plenty of room to grow besides up. Last thing it needs is for a giant flood of prime space to suck away the building momentum spreading into the so many worthy structures that haven't yet been renovated and nearby areas with room to grow. When the Ren Cen opened it sucked so much business from its neighbors. Supply and demand, folks. Let's check our hubris. Please, not again!

It is supposed to be taller than the RenCen but not as large. The tower will not be taking up the entire site and it will be mostly upscale residential.

That makes me feel better. My hope is that it catalyzes growth, and doesn't put a cap on it.
