I just have a sneaky suspicion with Chris Ilitch going on the offensive as to why "we had to wait" 15 years to make this happen that the Eddystone and Harbor Light WILL indeed be incorporated.

Very little, however, has been said/shown regarding the Columbia Park neighborhood area they are proposing... Keep in mind the United Artist, Grand Order of the Moose and Michigan Theatre buildings are all located in/near that zone... I have a sneaky suspicion here that this area will be mainly left as vacant as it is today until the market pushes investors beyond the Ilitch family to participate in big ways as well.
Lastly, for big box development, I'm thrilled the entire district will keep much of the street system as it currently exists in tact.
