It would be neat to see the Hudson block renderings in that aerial view.

Gosh, those lots across from the Water Board Building and around greektown sure are looking ripe for some hi-rises... Time to fill out downtown! Our overabundance of parking is embarrassing. Other cities are working quick to re-densify. Nashville, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Buffalo and others are all reducing their surface parking downtown.

According to this Detnews article, there is plenty of unmet demand for housing units in downtown.

Time for more developers to pluck some good property and build up.
