"Detroit-based Olympia Development of Michigan, which recently lost its top executive, is bringing The Cordish Cos., a Baltimore-based developer of mixed-use entertainment districts linked to professional sports venues around the country, into The District Detroit project.

Cordish transforms arenas and ballparks into year-round districts for people to live, work and play. The entertainment neighborhoods at the core of its developments are often branded as "Live!" districts with restaurants and sports-viewing options.


The 50-block District Detroit is anchored by Little Caesars Arena, which will be home to the Detroit Red Wings and Detroit Pistons when it opens in September. Plans since the district plan was unveiled in 2014 call for housing, retail, office, entertainment, restaurant, bar and public green spaces — right in line with what Cordish is known for creating."
