In a Detroit Business article on the opening of the Broderick Grille today:

"Later this year, Higgins will begin work to redevelop the historic Elliott Building, a seven-story structure at Woodward and West. Grand River that will be converted into 23 one- and two-bedroom apartments along with retail offerings on the first floor and the lower level. Built in 1894 by developer William Elliott, it was home to the first S.S. Kresge five and dime store in 1899. The building is projected to reopen next year."

The building has had window signs proclaiming its rehab into housing since before the Super Bowl.
