I'm disappointed they're not at least trying to save the office building, but this'll be huge for the neighborhood:

AMC Site On Detroit's West Side To Be Demolished, Redeveloped

The former American Motors Corp. headquarters on Detroit's west side -- a distinctive but unmistakably blighted industrial complex, will be demolished to make way for a $66-million redevelopment, city officials announced today.

Crain's Detroit Business reports:

The plan is to demolish the buildings for 728,000 square feet of "class A industrial space" that is "suitable for a new automotive parts supplier" and employ more than 300 people, according to a news release.

...Under the proposed development agreement, Kansas City, Mo.-based NorthPoint Development LLC would pay nearly $5.9 million to acquire 56 acres of publicly-owned property, including the city-owned AMC site, approximately 26 residential parcels owned by the Detroit Land Bank Authority, and an 8.5 acre parcel immediately to the west recently purchased by the Detroit Brownfield Redevelopment Authority, the release states.

The AMC Corp. moved to Southfield in 1975, and the Detroit site has been abandoned since 2010. The deal would require City Council approval.
