That's not a sign, its just a label Curbed placed over the retail unit they're going to occupy. I drove by earlier today and they have "coming in July" signs in the windows.
I'm very excited to see what comes of Michigan Central Station. The former DPS book depository building was also sold as well!
Some updates:
May 16
89 E. Edsel Ford Freeway
The Cass & York site has signs up. No shovels in the ground yet
A little infill project at 59 Harper Avenue near Woodward between Maurice's and the house on the far right.
The new WSU Data Center, Antoinette Street at Cass. Not the most attractive building, but its supposed to be extremely secure and up to date. Its being built on a parking lot and will include a lawn in front.
WSU Anthony Wayne Drive Apartments
WSU Chatsworth Tower Apartments renovation
Brigitte Harris Cancer Pavilion at Henry Ford Hospital
Third & Grand
Northwest corner of Oakland and Josephine
May 30
Banner Sign Company, 6538 Russell Street
Wolverine Packing Company
"Rise" mural at Detroit City Club Apartments
City Club Apartments CBD Detroit
A sign has been placed on the fence around the United Artists Building showing the plans for renovation. According to the sign, the building is now called Residences @ 150 Bagley. Anyone heard anything about whats to become of the theater portion?
Farwell Buiding with the Book Tower to its left
"Waiting" has been installed in front of One Campus Martius. Not entirely sure how I feel about it...
Demolition work at the underground garage at the Hudson's site
Shinola Hotel
New church under construction on Van Dyke at East Warren. Looking at the site on a map, it appears the site had an abandoned apartment building and some empty lots.
3550 Mount Elliott Street, about three blocks from the Heidelberg Project. This was formerly a vacant lot.
St. Charles Residences, a formerly abandoned Catholic school.
The second phase of St. Charles includes 8 units on this site, which seems to have begun foundation work
And phase 3 of St. Charles, this formerly abandoned apartment building at 1429 Townsend Street, is under renovation
Foundation work at Baltimore Station 2
207 East Baltimore Lofts
I'm not sure what this project is. Its at roughly 6400 Brush Street at the eastern end of East Baltimore. A few walls of an abandoned building were here within the past year or two. The construction seems odd, maybe an art installation?
