A new chapter of Detroit's development history is ready to begin, as six iconic projects head toward the finish line.
According to an article by John Gallagher, six new projects will add "iconic new landmarks to the city in short order," which "is likely to open a new chapter in Detroit's story."
"But it also illustrates that decades of efforts to revitalize the city have begun to pay off, at least in terms of producing the biggest development projects."
Some already iconic locations from Detroit's past are on the list, like at Michigan Central Station and the former location of the Hudson's department store. Here's the list, with more details about the timing of each provided by Gallagher in the source article:
- The Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Centennial Park
- Michigan Central Station
- The University of Michigan's Center for Detroit Innovation
- Dan Gilbert's Hudson's site project
- Wayne County Criminal Justice complex
- The Gordie Howe International Bridge
