I can start:
Madison-Lenox - illegal [[for Super Bowl XL parking)
Park Avenue Hotel [[fought and won for District Detroit)
Temple Hotel [[District Detroit)
Wil-Mar Garage [[District Detroit)
Comet Bar [[District Detroit)
Cole Apartments [[District Detroit)
Chin Tiki ?
Adams Theatre [[kept facade)
Hotel Wolverine [[Comerica Park, not in footprint, demolished for parking lot)
Detroit College of Law [[Comerica Park footprint)
YWCA [[Comerica Park footprint)
YMCA [[Comerica Park footprint)
Elizabeth Building [[Comerica Park footprint?)
Tiger Stadium [[technically not their demolition but because they left it, putting it on here)
Vermont Hotel [[For possible future Wings arena, now a parking lot)
Parking lot desert behind the Fox [[majority of their demolitions for Red Wings arena, now being built across I75, link to 4 of them)

Link to some of the demolitions in the Cass Corridor related to the District Detroit

Saved/Vacant:
Fox Theatre [[Renovated, early 90s)
Wagner Baking Co. [[Renovated into Motor City Casino, heavily altered)
