Another great announcement for Detroit!
|
Is there a reason almost all parking is above ground in Detroit?
|
The collapse of Detroit meant that vacant land was cheap and plentiful.
|
Thanks for the answer .I thought it might have to do with the water table.

Top of the building looks great, the lower half not so much with that parking garage in view. However the parking garage could get a lot of activity with Lions, Tigers, Red Wings, Pistons and Fox all within 5 blocks. Wonder if they will make that terrence available for Tiger games. |

Hudsons, Monroe, Statler city are all going to have underground parking, this is really the only parking podium proposal other than the Ashton. |

I like this design a great deal, but I thought Chemical ceased to exist long ago when they merged with Chase?
Nice addition to Detroit :tup: |

The main name of the bank referred to here in Michigan is Chemical Financial Corporation whose subsidiary is Chemical Bank (which it begun to use in 2006). I suppose both companies got shorthand as 'Chemical Bank' over time and both have similar histories, but both are completely separate unrelated companies. |
Any news on when construction will start?

New rendering:
https://www.detroityes.com/mb/attach...5&d=1547556984 The refinements solved one of my biggest gripes about the original design, which was that apparently the garage was positioned on the site so that it was visible/open from Woodward, which is why they had to put that silly green screen up. They seem to have set it back from the street, which is how it should have been designed in the first place, so now we have a uniform facade at the front. Not a beauty, but it's certainly better than what it's replacing and will fill in a whole in the streetwall. |
