More worrisome downtown buildings news

[DetroitDad]

If memory serves me correctly, last Summer Lafayette Towers had a very high occupancy rate, and Northern Group was talking about converting one of the two [[or two) to residential, while First National was going to be used to serve Non-profits. Northern has seemingly been very creative and bullish, it is unfortunate that that isn't working out.

It seems Sean_of_Detroit's attempt at being positive and spread hope when he knew a bunch of building and store closings were coming wasn't such a bad idea after all. It is going to get worse before it gets better too.

There are a number of residential and office buildings with reasonably high occupancy rates.

Part of, or all of, said buildings would be converted into apartments or condos [[I think it was apartments).
