I work right next to the site. One Campus Martius (OCM) is 15 floors, so it appears the tower core is in the 20 to 25 floor range as of January 14th, 2023.

Update. Two inquiries made to Bedrock in two weeks. Nobody knows anything, no callback and no email to sell us a Hudson’s residence which is supposed to open next year.

damn, this is turning out to be a stunner. not only decent height and quality but also a statement architecturally.

Oh shoot, I took some pics today as well. I'll try to avoid posting some duplicate angles. ^

These are some farther out shots to give some context of where the tower will grow.

Oooh, ahhhh!

This looks even better than predicted.

Yes, i think it was thanksgiving time that the core last went up.

wait, is that really true?

a 2.5 month pause on core construction? what gives?

everything about how this project has progressed is just so very different from what i'm used to.

The latest video is from January 20 and it only seems to have gone up 2-3 floors from November to then. Since I have never been to Detroit I have to take other people's word for it on whether or not this is still currently growing.

To be optimistic, there has probably been a push to finish the shorter building first and get that occupied while the tower is still under construction.

animatedmartian · #**1232** Posted **Feb 11, 2023, 5:24 PM**

I don't know about any pause since November, but my closest two pics from that time frame are from August to January. It looks like there were about 10-11 floors added between that time frame so 1 to 2 floors per week? Sounds about average? There were a couple of weeks of really low temps and some passing snow storms as far as inclement weather goes.

Also, it's very possible that the location of the guy doing the Youtube updates moved up a few floors in his building. From that perspective, the tower wouldn't look like it grew as much.

August 2022

January 2023

Different to put it mildly. Not growing and nobody ever got back to me about buying a residence, which are supposed to be on floors 26 through 49.

To be pessimistic, there has been yet another height reduction, this time a drastic one. Would be a shame if the "tower" ends up barely taller than the "block". Gilbert wouldn't let that happen, right?

The original $618 million in incentives were for:

- Hudson’s Site, block and tallest skyscraper in Michigan. Was supposed to open in 2023.
- Monroe Blocks. Never broke ground.
- Rocket Mortgage headquarters expansion. Finished.
- Book Building and Tower renovation. Not open, was supposed to open in 2021.

Then Bedrock got another $60 million in incentives last summer for Hudson’s to complete the 49 floor tower and block.

from an observation only pov... last time it "seemed" like there was a pause or slow down, it coincided with the first set back. Perhaps that's all this latest "slow down" could be?

Yes, this height is the next major set back in the design, just like last time. The core is shrinking in size so it probably took them time to modify construction methods for it. The white concrete pump is being utilized so we know the core is being poured.

Some great pics I found on Facebook.

I don't understand why the images expand when posted here, oh well I guess. The Facebook link will have better viewing for smaller monitors.
