Construction workers with hard hats, along with cranes and bulldozers, have become common in downtown and Midtown Detroit.
Robyn Runyan of Curbed Detroit has compiled a list of 12 big Detroit renovations to watch.
Here's a sampling of her picks and descriptions:
Wurlitzer Building: 1509 Broadway Street: We finally found out some information recently on the Wurlitzer Building, which will open as The Siren Hotel in late 2017. The building was falling apart a few years ago, and a sign still remains next to it offering coffee to anyone who buys the building. ASH NYC is leading the rehab, and the boutique hotel will have 106 guest rooms, two retail spaces, a rooftop deck, and seven food & beverage spaces.
David Stott Building: 1150 Griswold St. -- Bedrock acquired the Capitol Park Art Deco skyscraper in 2015, after a Chinese investment group neglected the building. Work has been underway for a while to restore it back to its original beauty. We can expect it to re-open in 2018, with retail, residential, office space, and hopefully the SkyBar. Our photographers stopped by pre-disaster in 2013, if you’d like to see what it was like inside.
Hotel Eddystone: 100-118 Sproat Street -- Looming over the new Little Caesars Arena is the Hotel Eddystone. In an announcement this spring, Olympia said they would renovate four buildings in the “District Detroit,” including the historic Hotel Eddystone. Expect 96 residential units and ground-level retail. Work should begin in 2018.
