Nice update and looks like you guys are doing some stick construction like a lotta other cities. Oh btw here in Sacramento they've been using some snap-in steel in leu of wood.
Auto part supplier Flex-N-Gate has committed to hiring Detroiters first for the 400 jobs the company is creating with the construction of a new parts plant in the city's I-94 Industrial Park that's expected to begin early metal-stamping production by April.
"That's our commitment," Flex-N-Gate owner Khahid Khan said Monday after giving Mayor Mike Duggan a tour of the 450,000-square-foot manufacturing facility.
Khan said starting wages for the jobs would be announced at a later date.
But the Pakistani immigrant and billionaire owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars voiced support for a $20-per-hour national minimum wage.
"I believe to break the cycle of violence or poverty we need to do that," Khan told reporters. "That probably would be a living wage that would give people the money where it's more productive to do that than resort to other things."
Apparently, the minimum wage at his other plants in the area are close to $20/hr.

I'd love to see this one on a clear day and at night.
Anyway, doesn't surprise me that Olympia is building another parking garage while their apartment construction is still on hold. lol
I do not live at Pallister or else I would be more than happy to get that shot for you!
I agree. I really hope work on the restorations happens soon. I really think the United Artists building will be a huge "re"addition to the CBD. Obviously excited for all the projects to come online.
I was actually talking about the new-construction Arena Place and and 111 West, which I keep harping about. lol They started them and then stopped construction.

Just a quick question-did the historic Stroh Brewery get rehabbed?
The Stroh's complex was torn down decades ago. There is currently an office building and parking lot on the site.
A Detroit company has bought the Stroh's name and recipe and recently started selling it again in much smaller batches. I'm not sure if it's possible to buy it anywhere but locally.
Construction is scheduled to start in September with a mid-2020 opening, which points to this not being some cosmetic renovation like those previously done to this troubled property. Currently the building hosts 150 residentia tenants and ground floor commerical space (the City Club and a diner). All existing residents will stay, and be moved into the empty units when they are renovated so that their units can be renovated.

The article from the News:
Construction is scheduled to start in September with a mid-2020 opening, which points to this not being some cosmetic renovation like those previously done to this troubled property.

Rockford Construction is a solid company that is based in/quite active in Grand Rapids and its suburbs. If they're leading the charge, I have no doubt that the project will be done well. The Crain's article also mentioned that KDG is the architect of record, so that also seems to point to the quality and validity of the project.
Cass & York will have that quality that we haven’t seen in condos. The development will be six stories with 53 units, a “manageable amount of residences to test the market,” says Cummings. The units will average about 1,422 square feet, with prices starting at $430 per square foot—higher than current prices in Midtown.
Knoer says that the design of the building is an amenity itself. McIntosh Poris Associates is the Architect of Record, with design by VolumeOne Design Studio. The modern design was inspired by the neighboring Cadillac Building. The facade will have a mix of glazed and regular white brick, with the scale of the windows and building working off the Cadillac Building.
Expect a rooftop deck with a swimming pool and a club house, a common garden, a bike storage room, big windows with skyline views, two-story penthouses, and a 24-hour concierge in the lobby.
Completion is scheduled for 2020.

I've really been quite impressed with the overall level of design we've been starting to see in the projects that have been announced since the renderings for City Modern at Brush Park came out.
And to think this is (hopefully) only just the start!
Went downtown. A few things I noticed but didn't get a chance to photograph:
1. There are hanging construction lights in the Harvard Square Building
2. Cash City pawn shop in one of Gilbert's recent property acquisitions is having a liquidation sale. Demolition soon?
3. The Woolworth Building in the Merchants Row lofts is undergoing facade work. Not sure exactly what's going on

New renderings revealed for Brush Park condos under construction
Jan 26, 2018 at 6:00 AM by Robin Runyan
A while back, we showed you a smaller condo project going up in Brush Park. It’s now one of many condos under construction in the neighborhood (yes, we’ll make a Brush Park construction map soon). For an area that was neglected for so long, it’s almost shocking to see the influx of development and the rising prices in the neighborhood.
^ That's pretty nice for a condo. Better than most of the new suburban condominium developments. The brick lends it substance and ties it back to the historic homes. It doesn't give deference to a big garage either.
