Chemical Bank [Now TCF Bank] to move their headquarters to Detroit

[casscorridor]

Am I the only one who thinks the fact that half the building's height is parking is funny?

I sorta agree... but I wonder if part of the parking is for the displaced parking spaces taken away when Grand Park Centre's Annex [[former Michigan Mutual Annex parking) is razed?

Nope! You’re not the only one 😂😆
The bank that bought the naming rights on what used to be cobo center...after their multi-billion dollar merger with chemical bank, making them the largest headquartered financial institution in Michigan....is building an HQ in Detroit that literally only has 8 floors for office and 12 for parking. Only in Detroit. Is it better than nothing? Yes yes and yes. But it’s kind of a letdown and it’s comical, in an annoyed, only-in-Detroit sort of mindset when you look at it.

It’s 9 floors of office and 10 floors of parking, with ground floor retail.

Depending on the the parking structure is build [[flat parking levels with a speed ramp), the parking levels could be built out in the future. I prefer they stack the parking under the office, rather than build a 10-story deck next to a 9-story office.

yeah, me too. It's still a good project. I like the newer rendering better. Parking garage is hidden very well. Looks solid

If they had changed the design a little, you could have had 19 floors of both, and parked next to your desk.
