It's a box infill building, it is what it is. Not everything is going to be a showstopper and the city needs housing to grow. Nothing really offensive here.

The developers of the Louis apartment tower project in Downtown Detroit released another rendering yesterday of the 25-story, 500-unit project. While its still just a plain glass box, it's nice that they finally have a website.
New rendering released for multi-family complex on former Joe Louis Arena site
Quote:
600 Associates LLC, is an entity linked to the developer, Detroit-based Sterling Group. The Free Press first posted about the new rendering. Representatives with Sterling Group were not immediately available for comment Monday.
In early May, the city issued a construction permit for the building with an estimated cost of $40 million and slated to include 500 residential units. Site work to prepare for construction began in February.
Sterling Group acquired the property in a $14 million deal in 2019 that moved control of the arena and parking deck from bond insurer Financial Guaranty Insurance Co. to the developer. In early 2021, Sterling Group sold the parking deck to Grosse Pointe-based Foster Financial Co.
such an odd building. Looks like an office building. Also, how in the hell are they building 500 units at $80,000 a key? That construction cost is either wildly incorrect or they will be making bank.
i was in Detroit last week for the Elton John concert at commerica park and wow has the downtown really started to turn for the better. All 3 major sports venues right there, tons of great restaurants and bars and busy as hell! I love seeing the city come back alive like this.
Great to see this rising so quickly! Are there plans for the rest of the site? I imagine this will have a nice impact on the skyline as viewed from Windsor.

There's been talk of a hotel and an office tower, but no solid announcements yet. I definitely think that the entire site will be filled sooner rather than later.
Great Pictures. Really hope this site develops into a more mixed used area. A hotel linking to Huntington Place (Cobo) and a nice riverfront restaurant would be perfect.
Love the shot of the old Free Press building. I don't think I've ever seen that angle before.
The fog rolling over the river makes it that much better. Can see BOTH bridges towers poking throught.
Great shot!!!

Looks like it's the view from the upper floors of the Westin Book Cadillac. Worth the money, I'd say.
