The Detroit arena district around the new hockey arena gets grander all the time.
JC Reindl of the Detroit Free Press reports:
More details of the future Detroit arena district were revealed Thursday, including plans for a 350-room athletes' hotel, a world-class sports medicine center and new Woodward Avenue retail shops atop a pair of new I-75 overpasses.
The high-end hotel would be built between the new $627.5 million arena and the Fisher Service Drive. It could feature many large suites and cater to the many professional athletes who come through Detroit for the city's professional sports teams, according to a presentation Thursday by retail broker Scott Young of CBRE in Southfield, which is handling leasing for the district. An updated site plan shows the hotel opening in 2019.
