Detroit riverfront apartment tower opens in sign of 'how far we've come'

Detroit — Two years after breaking ground, the owners of the Residences at Water Square celebrated the opening Tuesday of the 496-unit high-rise apartment building along the city’s riverfront.

On the site of the former Joe Louis Arena, developer Sterling Group built from the ground up a 25-story, glass exterior building with expansive views of downtown Detroit and Canada. The Detroit-based firm broke ground on the property on Third Street in February 2022.

“Just a short 24 months later, our first residents will be moving into their new homes officially as the doors open today,” Danny Samson, chief development officer of Sterling Group, said Tuesday. “Another wonderful addition to the Detroit skyline.”
