It's been over 10 years since renderings were put out for GM's RiverEast development. Is a lack of development still due to a lack of residential demand? Is it due to GM not having the additional money for real estate development due to bankruptcy? Is GM waiting for MDOT to decide on what it's going to do about I-375 and its extension to Atwater?

All I know is, it's depressing to drive east of the GM/Renaissance Center and see all of those huge surface parking lots. I would love to see GM and the City of Detroit work together to place underground parking in that area and build residential and commercial on top. No more parking decks in that area. So, what gives?
