This new transit-oriented office and retail development reinterpret the design of the surrounding industrial buildings to create a 21st-century space that connects its occupants to the vibrant Midtown Detroit neighborhood.
Providing coveted commercial and green space at street level with adaptable office space on the two upper floors, the building enhances the pedestrian experience along Woodward Avenue by continuing the commercial thoroughfare’s vibrant and active streetwall, echoing the texture and cadence of nearby historic structures. Inside the building, light-filled office suites provide flexible spaces to meet contemporary office needs. Stunning views of Midtown and peeks of the downtown office towers connect office workers to the surrounding urban area, serving as a visual reminder of their place within the city.
One of the retail spaces provides a gallery and formal entrance to Lawrence Technological University’s Detroit studios. The remainder of the upper floor office space is leased to creative users, such as AIA Detroit and Quinn Evans Architects, who will occupy part of the third floor as their Detroit office.
