Metrotimes has this weird edgy hate boner for Gilbert. They think they're cute writing these hit pieces. Their address is in Ferndale, I think that tells you everything lol.

What's wrong with Ferndale?

Hudsons Site website has received an update with new details

Quote:

Bedrock’s redevelopment of Hudson’s site will restore the grandeur to Woodward Avenue’s 1200 block. Plans include 1.5 million square feet of office, retail, food and beverage, hotel, residential, event and meeting, and parking and activated open spaces. At 685’-4” feet tall, it will provide unique city views at every level. An activation space will anchor the ground-floor retail space, and a plaza will create a new central gathering place for Detroit. Progressively designed office spaces, dramatic event venues, state-of-the-art residences, and a gleaming hotel will be joined together at an unbeatable location.

Dope.

Nice, Detroit's very own One Chicago Square (mini version)

Dope indeed this is what we’ve been hoping for. Same design just slightly shorter echos of Yamasaki and back to glory days of Detroit mid century modernism is some damn fine icing on the cake.

Height increase hopes seems to have been dashed but god it looks amazing.

This is easily the highest quality skyscraper development under construction outside of New York right now.

I apologize if I missed it…when do they anticipate its completion?

The Block has a 2023 completion date and the tower has a 2024 completion date

Anyone have pictures of what this looks like in person currently? Since they stopped posting videos on youtube, I'm unsure what the progress looks like now.

Hmm. So compared to the previous plan:

-Less retail
-Less residential
-Less event space

-More office space
-More hotel space

Condos instead of apartments seems like a bold choice though the residential market in general seems all over the place so maybe they will fill up. I feel like they could have kept the 912 height with rentals but then maybe the math didn't work out in terms of rental prices. I dunno.

The hotel operator seems confirmed at this point, now just need a name. The increased office space makes me wonder what changes if any this might have on the Monroe Block plans.

Either way, glad to the see the pandemic hasn't caused to much value engineering.

If One Chicago and NEMA had a baby, and it moved to Detroit

I'm glad to see they got rid of the pointless skybridge. I'm not sure how I feel about the addition of a massive awning in front of the tower, though.

In a way it looks more like NYC's 270 Park Ave (Chase):

^ Totally!

I hadn't seen that rendering for 270 Park yet. Is that an official final?

And if the heights for Hudson tlTower and 270 rain the same at 685' and 1388', the 270 will be almost exactly twice the height.

It is a 2-year-old rendering, which is nevertheless one of the newer ones since Chase has been so secretive. More info here: https://newyorkyimby.com/2019/11/new...rk-avenue.html

Nobody has released an "official" rendering yet, but we know the basic structure of it (especially after the construction that has already been done) and it's probably going to be a lot more symmetrical than this rendering shows.
