The Michigan Strategic Fund approved $5.69 million in loans this week to redevelop Midtown's Standard Accident Insurance building, next to Masonic Temple.

The eight-story building on Temple Street will be . . .? Anyone have a guess?

Yes, a boutique hotel! And restaurant, bar and residential space. Because there's no end to the need for boutique hotels in the central business district, apparently. Also restaurants. And you can never have too many bars.

Curbed Detroit reports upgrades to the 1920 building opposite Cass Park will be led by McIntosh Poris Architects, the same firm that did the Foundation Hotel project.
