Detroit Food Commons breaks ground in the North End

Quote:
On April 23, the Detroit Black Community Food Sovereignty Network (led by Malik Yakini) and Develop Detroit (led by Sonya Mays) broke ground on the Detroit Food Commons, which will also house the Detroit People's Co-Op. Construction is expected to be completed in June 2023. The site sits on land at the corner of Woodward and Euclid, next to this historic building. For the co-op, members can buy in at $200 (see more on membership info). This development should be a positive boost for the neighborhood; grocery stores in Detroit hasn't always been easy to come by, and this helps the community keep money in their neighborhood.


More to come with Book development downtown

The redevelopment of the Book Tower and Building looks like it could be one of the standout restorations in the city. But there is more to the development. Just to the south of the Book Building is a 30,000-square-foot two-story building that was going to be demolished for parking, but now looks like it will be saved. Bedrock will go before the Historic District Commission this month with plans for retail on the bottom level and offices above, with rooftop amenities available. The building was built as a placeholder for what was to be an 81-story tower, but the Great Depression held up the Book Brothers' building spree. For comparison, the Book Tower is 34 stories tall.
