Bedrock is redeveloping the  Hudson’s site  on Woodward Avenue in downtown Detroit. They broke ground in 2017 on what was then proposed as a  $1 billion mixed-use development . It has since faced delays and design changes, but completion is expected in 2024, Bedrock said in early 2022. The skyscraper is expected to be about 685 feet tall and the plan calls for 1.5 million square feet of hotel, office, dining, retail, residential, event and parking space, as well as a plaza. The site was home to the former Hudson’s department store, which initially opened in 1891 and was for a time the  tallest department store in the world . It closed to the public in 1983 and was imploded in 1998.

Cobo Center obviously finished construction and for those that haven't heard, it is now called TCF Center. TCF Bank bought the naming rights and had a block party last summer.  Hold everything! TCF was bought out by Huntington Bank so it is now called Huntington Place. Change all the signs again!

This development started before I started this blog. It is worth noting now because I think it is going to be amazing. Check out the website and especially the view of Comerica Park. I want to live there! Just added the photo in the lower right hand corner. All the new windows are in and when I went to choir practice last night there were a lot of lights on inside! Broderick Tower
