The development group The Platform, that burst on the scene with big plans for the New Center and other areas including Island View and Brightmoor, appears to be in retreat. Yesterday it was announced that its CEO Dietrich Knoer was out.

Progress has been made on the Fisher Building, its The Boulevard luxury apartments two blocks to the west are nearing completion and the Pistons Performance Center just opened. However the Sachs Fifth Ave. Building was sold off, the rusting i-beams of the Baltimore Station 2 project [behind the White Castle] have sat idle for about a year now and condominium plans for the 6001 Cass [Former Albert Kahn-designed WSU Criminal Justice Building] fizzled. [Although I notice WeWork, the co-working space company, just leased 91,000 feet there].

I hope this is just a readjustment for these "Dan Gilbert's of the New Center".
