Kelvinator to be demolished

[Richard]

The city and Detroit Brownfield Redevelopment Authority reached an agreement with Missouri-based NorthPoint Development to demolish the 2-million-square-foot former headquarters of the American Motors, which has sat vacant along Plymouth Road on the city’s west side for more than a decade.
In its place will be a new campus comprised of 728,000-square-feet of new Class A Industrial Space that would be suitable for a new automotive parts supplier, estimated at a cost of $66 million.

Same ones that demolished the Cadillac stamping plant to build for Lear ,and have been buying up property by the Packard Plant,Helen st & East Palmer.

It would be nice if they could incorporate some of the history into the new building,but doubt that will happen.


Interesting enough Kelvinator still exits,Whirlpool destroyed their residential appliance market in order to beef up their own market,but they still manufacture for the commercial market which still holds a brand loyalty across the world.
