I think that he also said that he's moving "a couple of thousand" more people downtown, not the 1,000 mentioned in the article.

Gilbert is an interesting guy who is very fired up about Detroit.
That sounds very cool. If he were to purchase the Whitney, Broderick, Stott...and convert that to his HQ that would be incredible. Screw the new construction, let's take care of our empty, beautiful giants first.
