The name of this project has been changed from something with meaning to a bland, generic, meaningless name: The Residences at Water Square. Meh.

New details revealed on massive apartment tower at ex-site of Joe Louis Arena in Detroit

New details are out about the residential skyscraper under construction at the former site of the Joe Louis Arena that would be the biggest apartment tower to open on the Detroit riverfront in decades and likely test the depth of market-rate housing demand in downtown.

Construction crews are making fast progress on the 25-story building, 600 Civic Center Drive, which will contain 496 apartments and be called The Residences at Water Square when it opens in February 2024.

The Residences will be marketed as an upscale and amenity-filled building with a swimming pool. All units will lease at market-rate rents.
