I thought it would be a good idea to create a map showing all of the announced projects for the southern end of downtown - most of which have been posted in this thread. The concentration is insane and will be transformative for this part of the city, even if only a few of these happen.

1) Studio Park project - 16-story addition to existing building with 189 units (under construction)
2) 12,000 seat amphitheater and 1750 apartments (the amphitheater seems like it will happen at some point)
3) Sligh Furniture building renovation (438 apartments, amended plan just got approved by the Planning Commission)
4) The McConnell (432 apartments, 10 story tower)
5) Wealthy and Sheldon Lofts (57 units)
6) Southgate Senior Living Center (56-unit building is done, set to open in 2023)
7) Mary Free Bed/Corewell Health Children's Rehabilitation Hospital (seems like a sure thing)
8) Trinity Health's proposal for a massive 9-story mixed use building (200 proposed units)
So, in all, there are 3122 proposed housing units within basically a 0.5 square mile area. Taking out the amphitheater project, it is 1372 units within about a 1/4 square mile area. As I said, if only a fraction of this comes to fruition it will still have a dramatic effect.
