The Illitches have released an updated vision for District Detroit and the area around U-M's new Innovation Center. IF this actually gets built, it will truly change the face of the west side of downtown..

Expanded Detroit Center for Innovation vision includes hotel, parks, community space

Anchored by the $250 million Detroit Center for Innovation, a University of Michigan graduate school campus focused on research and innovation, the updated Ross/Ilitch plan would bring a long-envisioned new hotel to the unused land south of the arena, new office and retail space on the Woodward-fronting surface parking lots for Comerica Park, more commercial development along Columbia Street and affordable and market-rate residential space along Park Avenue.

Some of the development unveiled today — the Woodward project (originally residential), the hotel on Henry Street and a community space over I-75 (long envisioned as retail) — has conceptually been on the Ilitch family's Olympia Development of Michigan's real estate company's drawing boards, Crain's has previously reported, although none of it has gotten off the ground.
